Thanks for those kind words ytliek!
Your favourites are very interesting indeed. And very flattering for me! (Given that you've picked my own reels, and me playing the air as two out of the three.) And yeah, Dusty Miller's great, isn't it? I love the insistence of that tune - I could listen to it over and over and over again.

Re: CP: Tonight at Paddy Mac's
Just got mine!
I like how it starts with the creaky door and footsteps, Ben. It's illogical of me, but right away I knew that here was something to look forward to. I'm only halfway through; I'll finish the rest tomorrow.
Gregorio bought you a truffle? That's waaay past bromance, my friend...

And, in keeping with the rest of the CD, that's a real door there No faked effect, or stock sound. In fact, it's the actual door of the abandoned Italian farmhouse we used for a recording studio.Nanohedron wrote:Just got mine!

Deb has always said that Greg and I are in love, and she's jealous.Nanohedron wrote:Gregorio bought you a truffle? That's waaay past bromance, my friend...

If it's all the same to you, I'd rather flay you in private. Wouldn't want to disturb the peace with the mess and screams and all.benhall.1 wrote:I'll look forward to hearing what you think.
But all joking aside, I very much liked the album. Good job.

I like it. There is a lot going on so definitely something to listen to 'properly', of which I haven't done enough yet. If not listening properly the ghostly jig has distinct earworm potential.

Thanks David. I'll look forward to hearing your thoughts once you've listened to it 'properly'. But very happy that you like it so far.david_h wrote:I like it.

BTW, you want to watch that ghost jig - it does keep coming after you if you're not careful!
