Worth the admission fee on Saturday

Cracking performance

Indeed, very energetic, very live.

Worth it for the broken string alone

Thanks loads guys

Excellent album

A must have just for the fact there's a track called Frost

Impressive to have seen Matt play it live, made it look so easy, just like Jem does on the Frost* reports

Listened to Relic in the car yesterday...which wasn't easy because the car stereo has got really fussy about anything that has not been commercially pressed. It'll either refuse to admit it's a CD, or sit there clicking and whirring for ages saying "Load CD". Eventually, if you take the CD out and put it back in again then it will play...after a while.
So, at the end of this malarkey....having forgotten that the volume was up....'Nightbus' started....made one jump a little!

Listening again now on my "good gear" while catching up on fora....enjoying it a lot.

I had that problem with it as well, but it wouldn't play on the DVD upstairs at all

Some players are touchy about CD-Rs.

Mikey · September 24, 2011, 09:51:05 AM

Wouldn't touch mine

I rip all my CDs straight away, then either play them as MP3s on my excellent little Sansa Clip (which plugs into the car via a HippoModded socket into the car's Lo-Fi), FLACs on my PC while I work or very occasionally burn them to a CD-R. That way they never get worn out

Matt's both a fine guitarist and a lovely person. I missed that gig. Last time I saw him play he was standing on a pile of haybales in the middle of a field not very near Reading.

After Sunday it will be full price for the download. Please tell your friends if you like the music, it does make a massive difference. Feel free to torrent it and burn CDs, I really want people to hear it, like we have been saying for a while obscurity is the enemy, not piracy. If anyone is a member of any forums and is willing to post about my music that would be greatly appreciated.

And for all those that have asked, mum and baby are doing well! Loop baby is 2 weeks old today!
