Grampy Steve--6% seems like a lot to tax. The States (members of Congress) nowadays wants to take the opposite route and tax those who can least afford it, tax at a lower rate those who can afford to pay AND cut taxes to the wealthiest 150,000 people who can afford to pay their fair share and are not! This country has been turned upside down by the greedy and taken leave of common sense and the public interest. Good-by infrastructure, good-by common sense regulation and good-by high standard of living......we will become a 3rd world country within the next 20 to 25 years if things don't turn around. Enough said.
I'm feeling better since the doctor put me on an antibiotic and my Steve is reminding me to keep lookin' up and giving me lots of hugs.
Michelle--Thanks for the well wishes. I like the GoGi-- sounds Japanese. I was almost adopted by a Japanese exchange student who said he wanted to take me to Japan and give me a tour of the country. Alas, plans didn't work out. That was decades ago!
Al baby--"from that film Candyman where everyone almost died in it, :| " I read a description of that film. Yikes! That is definitely NOT my kind of movie. Didn't it give you nightmares??? I'm more into steamy films like "Don't Look Down." :-)
Now for some "Revelation" the multi-layered rock symphony!

OK, I'm on my third listen now...I really like this one. :-)
The riff is nice and heavy and makes me think of late 60s/early 70s rock...something like Mountain or Grand Funk Railroad. The song structure reminds me of If I Could Fly (a couple of verses and hooky chorus-like parts and then a big jam), so I guess we know what Coldplay's next single will sound like. :-/
I hear a lot of Searching-style craziness in here too.
I really love the fat bass sound...Allen Whitman is great! He reminds me of Matt B. a bit, but his playing is busier and I really like it. Jeff is playing a lot more too...he's all over the place (in a good way). The drum parts for the last few albums have bugged me because they're pretty plain on the recording and don't really shine until you hear them live. But this has that live creativity from the start. I hope the rest of the album is in the same vein.
I really LOVE this riff! And the bit from 3:55 to 4:15. And...everything!
:-)
...Austin...

Just heard Light years Away for the first time!
Sounds pretty cool with a nice melody. Not as much of an insane solo as might be expected with the title but the outro is pretty other-worldly sounding.
Thought I'd mention this
It's been up for a couple of weeks now, it's my first original recored to a drum track with no bass but it's a start.

Do The Stu - you like the track then? No comment on Mike's key work?
Joe - great insight into what's to come. That groove is awesome, loving this in headphones even more!

I guess they decided to throw the single out there a little extra early... That's quite alright, though. I will listen to it now, I don't mind not waiting! Although I'm gonna have to call it a night after a couple play throughs and give it proper attention tomorrow. Sounds like a great track; nice energy and use of the effects. I'll break out my Koss Portapro's tomorrow and really get into it!
At least we know now that the BBW video song is not LYA... I guess we will find out when the countdown begins which song it actually is..
Anyway, time for bed- Goodnight all, I'll be Light Years Away for a few hours!

Just cut my hair from over a foot long to under 4 inches, and shaved my mustache and goatee clean off. Feeling like a brand new man and look about 5 years younger everyone says.
Btw, Light Years Away is truly Kick Ass.
Shedding the 80's rocker/metalhead putting on the modern rocker, all good as chapters of life go by.

Hello,
First let me get this of my chest LYA is awsome, can't wait for the show in Amsterdam. (I'm gona upgrade my ticket full package deal, hehe)
I Am currently working on a inductorless wah pedal.
(taken from the ADA MP-2 preamp) This is designed by the same guy that made the EMB Audio Remote Wah and that is the sound i want to get. (I'll always keep using an inductor based wah for a little more quack;))
Annywho i was wondering if you ever used one?
And do you still have/use it.
Some rumours on the net suggested you had one.
(if you do i'll be foced to hypnotize you and have you give the most wahsome wahmachine to me:))
Thx, Eric
P.S. please get Ibanez to make an Alder Body JS-1000 :)
