...which I hope you'd be kind enough to give a listen to. I've been breaking skin and bone for months at work on this project, striving to complete another work to compete with the breathtakingly positive response I garnered with the last disc, 'The Audial Equivalent of John Wilkes Booth,' before I begin a new page in my life in the coming weeks. This was released yesterday on Pavia, Italy's End of Music label.

Thanks for your help! :thumb:

:eek:
Never! :D
Why mess with a good thing? :thumb:
No, I'm afraid it's just me trying to 'stoke some interest, from at least 8 people...' :blushing: :o

Ok downloaded listened, but sorry just don't get it.

Can you elaborate on what "getting it" means? :o :D

well, you know i love your stuff...
really love that first track..!

my favorite song though is still 'Empty Dreamer'

Did you all know, he does all the singing, and plays ALL the instruments!

You are so very kind.

Interesting that you like 'Empty Dreamer' -- it was my very first single :)

The title of this thread scared me for a minute.

Me too....

It's just hard to listen to not tuneful or very melodic, the sampling and playing back backwards is over used and makes it hard to listen to, i don't get it because i can't imagine any situation when anyone would want to replay it. Simply using musical instruments does not music make.

I'm sorry i've had a drink so i'm being a bit to honest i like you your obviously a good guy, and you've worked hard on this, but you asked.:blushing:

Thank you for your honestly reply -- it at least means that someone was willing to listen :)
I was only wondering what you meant by "getting it" :o But thanks for elaborating and listening :thumb:

*buummmmmmmmp*
:o :blushing:

what genre, first?

Errm, well, when asked that I usually respond "alternative pop" and "post-punk." My influences include Luxuria, Morrissey, The Divine Comedy, Television, Shelleyan Orphan, Minimal Compact, Crime and the City Solution, Serge Gainsbourg, Howard Devoto, Buzzcocks, Sinatra, Ludus, Negativland, Sparks, Magazine, Russ Columbo. :blushing:

Are you a Patrick Wolf fan by any chance? :)

I've never listened to Patrick Wolf. :o Should I?

he's plop (Patrick)

who do you sound like, then?

Erm..:blushing: Well that's quite a difficult question to answer. If I named a group then I imagine one could disagree. You could sample it for me and tell me your opinion :D www.myspace.com/popisflammable :)

Magazine reviews have likened me to early Animal Collective, Sparks, Moz, Beck, Jeff Buckley, etc.
Oddly enough I'm compared to more bands that I've never actually listened to :o

I didn't download the EP, but I listened to a few tracks on your Myspace. I agree with billybu69 in that the sampling, atmospherics etc makes it a bit hard to listen to and obscures some of the vocal and musical hooks. Keep going though, because there's definitely a lot of potential there I think. :) I particularly like 'Empty Dreamer'.

yeah, i never liked it...

yeah, i never liked it...

But the point is, you tried. :)

I found it hard to hear what you were singing :o Might need a few more listens

It's strange, up until now the multiple instruments and samples seemed to be what people liked about my music :o
Guess there's no accounting for taste :D

I've never listened to Patrick Wolf. :o Should I?

I think you have a very similar vocal style, and the tracks have a kind of Wolf feel to them. Check him out :)
