So I see :)  Just listening to Lair of the Dragon King.

It sounds really nice, but you are insane.  Every few seconds I hear
it differently: it goes from Vangelis to UB40 to Kitsch to Blur and
everything in-between without actually changing.  And it has a sense
of humour between the melancholy.

I really like the lead synth.  You've probably noticed I like grungy
distortion on synths :)
