BManning,

This comment follows a bit of internet surfing detective work. Reading your advise on compression from a very old article on homerecording and your spat with the lemonstudio idiot. I'm curious to hear other artists work time to time and was especially curious after lemons comments. I tracked down your songs and had a proper listen.

You are a great singer, that is clear and without argument. You are also a fantastic guitar player with superb execution. What might be causing confusion is that "Dragon" is to me, not the strongest, first impression song to put at the top of your playlist here. I was quite impressed with "Heroin Lady" The vocals and guitar work are astoundind. The lyrics are a bit over the top but I believe you write that way on purpose and I buy it. The chorus and rifts in Heroin lady are clever with moments of magic. Total success.

Also like "All of London" "Pillows" "Summer". You do that sound very well. BTW, I really had to turn up the volume on these samples, but I know some of these sits can compress the songs after you upload them and I think that has happened here. Would love to hear these uncompressed and over proper speakers. Anyway, great work, its totally professional and cool.
