very nice, thumbs up ! i like that -although there is a lot going on in the songs- it never sounds overloaded or tiring 100% linux production ? grtz Thijs 2012/8/13 Kris Calabio &lt;kriscalabio(a)gmail.com&gt; -- follow me on my Audio & Linux blog <http://audio-and-linux.blogspot.com/> !

Hello Kris1 I'msorry I got back so late. I enjoyed your album very much. It's an interesting mixture of styles. Platypus fits the bell quite adequately. I like the overall production and the ensemble of instruments. I still can't decide, which of them is my favourite. It's a run between Long distance call from grandma and Lemonade. I like some of the harmonies in the Long distance call very much and the very celtic intermezzo speaks to me. Lemonade draws me because of its overall drive and its changes of feel and rhythm. Overall it's fantastic musicianship and a very nice production. I don't always agree with the bass. Sometimes it sounds to slim to me, but then your bass player generally likes his slapping, which goes very well with that sound. I don't say it's bad, just that I might have expected different - especially with a song like Alien. The metallic influence there is nice. It all sounds very transparent to me. It manages to form a unit, a whole. and you didn't fall into the trap, that is so often heard with small productions, involving real drummers, which is: you didn't make the bass drum to bassy. Although with your tight playing, it could still have lost a little more there. Fantastic album. Very surprising for a first listen and then surprising again with every song and every listen. :-) I enjoy it, it's inspired music. Sometimes deceptively simple and almost psychedelic, only to reveal a surprise or three, when I listen again. Thank you for sharing this. I'm sorry, if that had been covered before: did you produce it completely with Linux?
