Yes, we've both been around here a while. You are clearly doing good

Listening to the new Glass Hammer CD "Three Cheers for the
Broken-Hearted" tonight as it just arrived in the mail today. More
upbeat and slightly less prog-ish than their last couple of CDs, but
very nice. Seems a lot of the vocals are *very* processed. Don't know
what I think of that yet.
Anyone wanting to delve into mastering could have fun listening to
this one as it was mastered by Bob Katz himself apparently. He is a
very talented guy. It's very cool how you can listen to the song and
it sounds good, but if you decide mentally to focus on the bass or
drums or keys they are all there standing out.
This is a band I wish more people knew about and supported. I buy my
GH CDs directly from them online. If someone was looking to buy one
consider "Culture of Ascent".
I hope you keep up the good work.
cheers,
Mark
Cool and groovy. Thanks.
Don't know why but listening to this took me pretty quickly to a song
called "In the Centre of an Empty Space" by Carptree on their "Man
Made Machine" CD. It's a VERY different song from yours but I suspect
that if you don't know them then you might like the band a bit. Listen
if you can find a copy somewhere. There are probably some production
ideas in there you might like.
Good stuff. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Mark
Hi Mark
I was hoping you might reply (we communicated once off-list several years
ago, back in my more Pink Floyd-influenced, early phase! Not written much
since then, but I think I've learnt a fair bit).
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Carptree is a name I've come across, but beyond that I know nothing about
them, except they're Swedish. There are two tracks of theirs to stream on
ProgArchives.com, plus several on their official website -- thanks for the
recommendation, I'll check them out.
Thanks again.
Cheers
