Thanks Damon. That was my old Alembo on Miss O. And I'm pretty sure my old empathy on the middle 8 part. I very much enjoy Todd's stuff too, looking forward to an album. J.

As ive aquired some studio gear recently james i think i'd better start laying some tracks down for an album bout a year to make it tho!!

Just an observation and tell me to F*** off if you want but a few of those tracks i reckon would lend themselves well to lyrics which would obviously make them a little more commercial = ££££££!!!!

Thanks Daveski, good point about vocals, a few of the tracks did start life with lyrics and vox, but I can't stand my own voice, and I'm crap at writing lyrics. So if anyone fancies a collaboration , then maybe on the next album!? J.

Wow, never had that down as an Alembic. Was it a signature rather than a series? Whatever it was you got a great sound from it.

Always loved The Good Fellow riff, and a couple of the other tracks really sit will with the Stanley Clarke Band new cd I am listening too today as well - I can't pay it a better compliment than that! Would love to donate some lyrics if ever you fancy collaboration - just PM me. Didn't we once meet down at Bernie's in the Croydon days?

It was a signature, running through an Avalon vt737. Lovely bass, but I found it to heavy to use on a regular basis. Thanks again! J.

Thanks Paul, that's very kind, i may very well be in touch for some lyrics when I start the next one. I've only ever been to Bernie's shop in Brighton , always turns out an expensive visit! J. I

Every now and again there comes along an album that leaves you feeling that everything is OK with music. For me this is one of them.
