Thank you, Paul.
It's so nice to receive such direct and genuine feedback, as real as if we were sharing a coffee and chatting about everyday things.
I hope things keep improving. At first, I didn't realize how bad the injury was, but within a few hours it swelled up and bruises spread across my palm and forearm. Now that the swelling has reduced and movement is better, the main issue is the pain, especially with rotational movements. It's getting better, though I think some physiotherapy sessions might be helpful, if not necessary. Thanks again for your support.
Warm Greetings from Greece, Anthony

Oh yes my friend I had to make it a a little longer indeed but .... Anyway , I am glad you like it , thank you very much for your so encouraging and kind comment !! Cheerssssssssssss !!!

Oh yes we have been basking like lizards in Devon too - thank you so much, Paul ;)

Nah its ok man. Really, this is Pnnywze's ship, we're all just along for the ride. My brother is just so talented, we've known it for years, but I truly feel happy whenever he gets recognition or when others in the community give props to his talent. Of course us as vocalists bring the power, my brother just knows what to do, every time. We appreciate your support, Paul. And I know he does

Ah but the music IS Pnnywze, the rest of us are only vocals. Hes always done all the music.

Thanks, Mate. The best songs I know, I have to go back and play again. And yes, I would be like, why couldn't they make that section longer? 2 songs come to mind like that. Digging in the dirt by Peter Gabriel, and I believe in you Talk Talk

I appreciate it! I really wish I didn't lose the project because I liked where it was going. I think it's really easy to imagine the bug I saw that day. Also, I don't think I knew you we're in the UK! That's really cool!

AYE its all happening with the footy my English team came good (the gunners) :) cheers for tthe listen and comment man much appreciated :)

Hi dimestop, that was very well put and I'm glad it turned out the way it did in the end. Yeah, I didn't intend the guitar to steal the show, just played alongside, ticking over. Really enjoyed it!

Hi Dimestop, thanks for leaving some feedback, glad you liked the song. Yeah, I'm glad people seem to like the change at 3.15. Thanks again pal.

Thanks a lot Paul. Your words are much appreciated :)

Hi dimestop, you pulling my heart strings with words! - if it encourages people then great, I'm all for that. It wasn't really my intention to begin with. The lengths always get me, I can go on for hours about that and go full circle without a solid conclusion lol :)

Thank you so much Paul!

My dear friend,
The feeling of familiarity and friendship is absolutely mutual. I am sincerely sorry for the tragic story you shared with me. Unfortunately, the world is dark much like the city we sing about. Most of our songs come from real experiences, stories behind true events that, one way or another, all of us have lived through at this age. Sometimes in tragic ways, sometimes in quieter and more indifferent ones. We are truly happy that our music is able to carry these images to the listener, and that, even for just a few minutes, it can make them feel like the protagonist of what they are hearing. And perhaps even more important is receiving positive comments from musicians and producers of your level. Personally, I thank you for your friendship. Our album is almost finished, but the memories, experiences, and emotions we managed to express through it are not. Often, after a recording session, we would go out for a drink and none of us would speak at all. It affected us very deeply. Let me tell you a little secret: all the lyrics were originally written in Greek. The Greek language is very beautiful, very rich, and has wonderful ways of expressing emotion. The choice was intentional. Later, with Steve who is a native English speaker we translated them and adapted them so they could be set to a piano and guitar arrangement. So, as the Greek person who originally wrote those lyrics, I felt even more strongly the weight of what we needed to convey to the listener. It seems that we succeeded, judging from the comments of our friends here. I have been around LM almost since its foundation. I made many friendships and collaborations here. Back then, our group had a different name, then we disappeared for a while and became inactive, but I always felt this place was also my home. You are a true bon viveur, as we say here in Italy, with your fine whiskey and your appreciation for quality and enjoyment. I am happy for you, my friend stay well. You know, my niece lives in Portsmouth. Perhaps one day, when I come there, we may manage to meet, even if only for a whiskey or a session at a studio stage.
With appreciation and friendship,
Chris and all of us from the band.

Paul! Your listening ear and critique is always treasured. It's also a high honor for this track to give those PreSonus speakers a good breaking in! LOL! It's good you found everything in tip top order. I can count on you to let me know if my levels are out of whack.

What I'm feeling is an world/cinematic/classical/ambient/ with just a pinch of jazz thrown in for good measure. I'm still hashing out the ideas. The encouragement and compliments are received humbly. I do what I do just for the listeners like you bruv! Have A Chilled Weekend my friend!

Thank you Paul! It's funny how I'm circling back to making instrumentals and really enjoying it. Vocals are just too painful :D (even though I sing live regularly these days)

Hi Dimestop, thanks for listening to my track and leaving some feedback, it's always appreciated. Glad you liked the track. I do like to build some tracks up and try to keep things interesting, as all my stuff is instrumental. Thanks again.

I am glad you like it my friend !!! Thank you very much for your so kind and encouraging comment !! EbethB (apparently) has 9 months to enter the LM but ... never mind , someday she will probably come back!! Cheersssssssssssssssssss !!

Thanks Mate. I was able to record this one 26 years ago on a Sony MDMX minidisc recorder (4 track) and recently mastered it in Acid Pro. I love the Korg MS2000 as a synth and especially as a Bass instrument with modulation and pitch wah.

Hi Paul, great to hear from you. Yeah, I guess were among the dinosaurs around here. By the way: whats going on with Cincocent? For years, he used to post a new track here almost every day, and now I haven't heard anything from him at all for such a long time. I hope hes doing okay.
Anyway, right now Im in the process of digging out all my older tracksat least the ones I still consider worth keepingand giving them a refresh, since Ive picked up quite a few new things lately. I really enjoy watching Gregory Scotts tutorials (House of Kush); somehow he has such a chill way of talking about specific mixing challenges... and watching them has really helped me spot quite a few mistakes of my own. Even if I weren't rich and famous (well, Im already good-looking!), producing, mixing, and mastering music is simply a fulfilling pursuitone that always helps take my mind off lifes troubles, especially now that Im well into my retirement years... hehehe.
Ill go check right now to see what nice new music youve got out there.
Cheers,
Micky

We thank you bro!!!
Yeah, it is a big "hit" in live. :-)
I hope, all is well with you my friend!
Fistbump,
Danke

Thanks for listening, and for the advice.
