[We are Unchained Legacy]

I remember you making this back in the day, wasn't it for that Brighton festival gig you did? Not bad processing I might add, because I know how DAT's get after a decade let alone two. You also played it
Live with Carl, Daniel and Jeb (Drums and programming on his drum machines? (RIP)), not sure about who you did it with this recording mind. I downloaded it, amazing stuff.

Most of the tapes I own from back then are F'd, so surprised this played back without to much flutter. Yeah this was the one song which we did for Brighton Festival, summer of that year, not this version as the Live one was, unique! What can I say about Jeb mind, poor kid, nearly the anniversary of the car accident as well (it was june 25th 1997) He did the programming for this recording, plus you hear Carls work on this track as well.

[Forsaken (version 1)]

This track has a lot of potential, you need to redo the vocals, and maybe add a bit more mastering as is sounds like turd on my mains monitors, but it sounds really good in my headphones. Loving that sequence that starts around the halfway mark. Text me stu maybe we could work on this together.

[Mind (The Strings of Rock) 2]

I don't think Paul suited this track very well, even though he has a very good rock vocal, just not on this track, and as it was rushed, it personally sounds like his vocals are either under processed, or just mangled...

[Grey Shades]

I really enjoyed this, as you say it really sounds like early Oasys. Vocals a bit out of tune at times and you didn't obviously use Auto Tune, as I can't hear the re-tuning (Unless you got really good since last week). I like the live aspect keep it up. But I would like to see you doing more releases with your vocals but then a 2nd release with an instrumental so some people can do karaoke, or something along those lines.

[Dystopian rock (Series part 2)]

I see this has been down voted and no comments have been left, no wonder you're so annoyed stuart, as for what you been getting in your personal mail and you showed me last night is quite shocking. I also see why your so peed off about someone plagiarizing you dystopia Album when you released it three months ago. This is really good, I know from your message this morning you spent most of the night making it, and it sounds excellent. Narration is top notch, I gave you a vote and here leaving my comment (that's how it should be), I'm so sorry about hearing YouTube taking your channel out, I know it was all your own work and you should be able to effectively complain.

I don't know if you saw I put up that song we did last night together, I thought it would go down badly but its pretty cool, I had a nice time and the mix sounds pretty good, I finished it off this morning.

My only negative here for this track is your cut between your rock track and that second track, you should have done that much better.

Get back to me on that "Somewhere without love" track I really want to help you redo it, and can book you next week (depends which message you see first as I emailed you the details). Also that other track you showed me, "falling for eternity" I will try and see if Brian will sing it for you.

I hope you are well and in a better mood than last night as I enjoyed myself, but that was the only let down. You shouldn't let PM's on this site get you down, as I've been having a load recently and I just take it in my stride. Plus if it keeps on happening I would report it to a mod.

Still would love to know who is bombing your work as its not fair and I reckon they don't even listen to your piece, the lyrics or both. As this is book material and you did all the voicing of the characters, which I thought was pretty cool.

Anyway I'll speak later when you reply to one of my messages.

[I Have a Problem (living with AS)]

respect, hope your well

Thanks fireball, when u get a chance check your phone as I sent you a message.

Also read my reply to the comment above as I'm not going to repeat myself

[Sugar Plum Fairy (NG Mix RD2)]

Just got your text, seems to me that kid which you left the comment on his news post got the hump with you and obviously have been sending you nasty messages and zero bombing all your work... I like this song even though I hate crap step, at least you've tried with this remix and I don't understand apart from hatred towards your cause, why anyone would bomb you like this. All I can say is people! if you don't like this tune leave a comment and backup your rating otherwise it's not particularly fair, to bomb and run, like the obvious wuss you are... I read his news post and looked at his Youtube profile and he had posted a Skrillex Bangarang rip off remix, no wonder he said he got banned from the portal, so kid if you read this, stop ripping music, don't hate towards my mate and go haunt someone else...

[CS-40m Sound Test]

Wicked!!!

[DNA (Album Part 1)]

I really liked helping you with this project Stu =), Geoff was so nice to work with and related to you I just didn't initially believe that he was your dads cousin (I wonder if that had anything to do with your dad reaching fame in the game or visa versa?). Can't wait until we release part 2, but I still think what you spent per song on everything was a bit steep for a free album! Steve I wouldn't work with again due to the language barrier, i know he speaks english, but never sure when he is talking behind your back. You know hes currently on tour with JMJ? 2nd keyboard and drummer! Excellent working with such a electronica musician or I should say god!

I'm still currently mixing those files for that banger you made the other day on the Juno, but will take some work still to get right! I would love to get steves Seaboard, but too expensive for me at the moment!

Jeronimo is still my favourite track apart from your original of optic state!

Carry on sailing stu as your sounding more and more pro everyday!

[Paper thin]

I really like the track and I do agree that it sounds much better on Soundcloud. I do think ir can get a little busy at times, but the overall mix sounds good. this is more of a rock track then a EDM or electro track, but I can hear the EDM components. I can tell from your description of how you went overboard on your outboard was a little over the top, especially on open processing and maybe next just produce something like this inside Cubase and maybe record more layers in time you save....Just a thought mind, unfortunately this version genuinely does suck compared to your LANDR processed one on Soundcloud, which is much louder, in your face, you can actually feel the warmth from your over usage of your owned valve technology (which really is a big shame this version because I do think it could gone down much better (not saying that you ain't done well..) and got more views?
