Hi Conor. Nice to see you on the list again, and with new tunes.

First. Thank you so much for Teenage Kicks. I believe the late, and sadly 
missed John Peel referred to it as the number one tune of all time, and it  
was first in his box. I don't have the original on vinyl, but your version 
comes across very nicely.

All I summon sounds ok to me. I like dance music (beats), I also like like the 
acoustic guitar, which of course also turns up on dance tracks. Even though 
you say it's a rough mix, I have no complaints. Nice work.

All the best on your new album.

Nigel.
