Any mp3s floating around?

Hello guys n gals.  Sorry to resurrect this thread but hey, guess what I found lurking in an old mates cassette box.....  

Yes, that's right it's some bona-fide Freefall tracks.  I had lost mine after multiple house moves and it would seem so had everyone else in the band <cough>! But a visit last week to the UK saw me hook up with my old mate Julian Garner. We were in a band called Rook together with Simon post-Freefall. I will master up some Rook tracks this week and upload those to my page too. Very different, lighter more It-Bites(y) feel to Rook.  

It would appear I had provided Julian with a cassette copy of some Freefall stuff back in 1994. So we spun it onto CD, I've squashed it and poked it with Reaper and various plugins and uploaded to my Soundcloud page just for you lucky people.  So finally you can all see where we all emerged from and probably remark, thank god you all moved on from that stage...!

Warning, this is not for audiophiles. A 20 year old recording off a 17 year old cassette doesn't sound the most pristine thing. It has some lovely wow & flutter in parts too just to add to that analogue authenticity.  But it gives you the essence of Freefall Mk2, the pomp, the grandeur, the overuse of bloody reverb....grr...

So.... without further ado.  Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present to you Freefall from 1991. May God bless her and all who sail in her:

When the Heart Beats Faster
Play for Voices
Surface Tension
Hellstate (the original heavy version - not the one on 'Thrown')
Freefall

Enjoy!

Freefall towards the end at around 5 minutes......

There again I can morph Black Light Machine into Steptoe & Son in my head.

 :idea:  On the morphing front, how about we put Jem in a time machine with the frosterisk* and when he comes back he'll have 5 hands. Should improve managing all his various projects, won't need to rely on other musicians and on the home front an arm each for wife & kids
