Hi guys. The latest installment of your ongoing series is brilliant (as always). THanks so much for sharing the sounds and for the add. Have a groovy '09.
THE TIME ELEMENT is a great listen, and not just b/c I'm on it! Thanks belatedly for the opp... Also, if you're up for a show, come see us , The Doughboys and Third Of Never at Asbury Lanes on Fri 1/23...cheers, Kurt
Thanks for the discs, your Royal Purpleness! I just got home from work and they were waiting in a frozen mailbox for me... I know I should actually absorb them all before raving, but I can't resist a bit'o'praise for you guys. All I can say at the moment (Spearmint Experiment has finished and I'm midway through Instant Analysis - I'm a chronological kind of guy) is I'm in a Rubble / Nuggets Heaven right now. Sign me up for the next release (and the next and the next... )
Oh, THANK YOU! This one is better than the last one. Which is to say the last one was great. This one is greater. Can it be? How do you all keep doing it? Just fantastic. Fully of pops and hooks and I love it!!
