As Queen sang
"I want it all. I want it now!"

Would make the ideal Christmas present so crack on Godfrey. 

Cheers chaps.
Bottoms up and all that!

Mr Hippo. I applaud you!

For me DT went downhill after Images and Words. I keep dipping my toe into their work but find I dislike each release more than the last. I had a listen to a Dramatic Turn Of Events and didn't mind a couple of tracks but the others were just cold, unemotional technical work outs. Not my cup of tea anymore.
Heard some clips of this album and the bits I heard I liked but I really dislike the chugga, chugga  metal guitar style they started using on previous albums which I am sure will appear and at that point I will switch off.
Time will tell.

Its video but you could grab the audio?

I knew I never should have posted on here. I suppose it was obvious someone would send them just to wind me up. It has been a complete waste of their time and effort and I had to waste mine deleting them. So no thanks again and Good Day to you all! 

My laptop died and I have lost the copies I had. Most stuff was copied except very recent stuff.
As I hated both tracks I would be severely offended if someone sent them to my inbox.

Is there a 2013 version?

We use Acid Pro 9. There is a facility called beatmapping which may sort it out but I think he would prefer to record everything again. I really need to sit down and get my head round recording. We just play at it.

And as if by magic the track mentioned above.

It does slow in the first piano bit. Most of it was done first take on each instrument and it stands out quite a bit after everything else was added. He has changed that bit too. Drum levels are a bit awkward too as the TD9KX2 just outputs the whole kit sound so if anything is a bit overbearing it is almost impossible to rectify other than EQ. There is a track he did where the crash/ride drives me potty as it is too loud and too splashy. Tried everything and come to an acceptable, to me, compromise.
Downloaded a set of tweaked sounds from Vexpressions and we have a kit we tend to use now. Brought the Hi Hat and Cymbal levels down as we still found them too loud. There is another track that I think is epic. Unfortunately it also has a bit of a tempo wobble. It is a big piano and synth wall of sound, no guitars at all. Builds into big dramatic Choruses. I think it screams for an epic guitar solo at the end. It is more Frost* influenced.
Will see if he will let me post it?

Quite a few of you know Cameron. His first gig was Frost* when he was either 11 or 12  and he has been to plenty since, age limits permitting.
Since then he has been writing his own material, learning to play any instrument you put in front of him, and recording a lot of it.
There are probably 20 recordings from then till now. He has finally agreed to let me post a couple of ideas up. One is very old and an experiment in recording and using samples, the other is from early last year and we are going to redo it shortly. He is also starting to write other material for the band he has formed with two school mates. Anyway here goes. Enjoy.
