Well just sorted out the latest track for TCP.Turn The Tide... this was written ages ago ( well 2 years ago)
I have a great version of me howling it when I wrote it.I called it Floyd Eclipse for ages,I think the mix is called that on my Mac.
Its always great to hear Tina sing it properly.You never know if its going to work as a song till that point.
I like the over all vocal sound, a huge reverb. Still not sure if the mix is finished, added some compressed guitars in the 2nd verse...they may or not stay.
I also used my OLD Roland S202 on it...its the same synth that Oldfield uses on all his early work including the Blue Peter theme....no sure if its a great sound or if I like it cos of all the tunes Ive heard it on.
I bought the synth when I last went through my "tonight Mathew Im gonna be Mike Oldfield"....this usually means I will go out and buy something that the master uses.....
So here I am ...dug out all my old vinyl and currently listening to a scratched version of Oldfield "Platinum" from 1979...BUT it sounds soooooo good...like an old friend...With all the technology advances..we still have 16bit CD or worse Mp3..ARGHH!!!!!!!
So for the moment Im still convinced...
Just finished a promo video for somebody who we have just signed to our White Knight Records.... this guy who Im still keeping under wraps is bloody awesome.... he sent me his Cd and I almost started posting all my gear for sale on EBAY...!!!!!!!
Don't sell your gear! It's in a far, far better place now than it might end up in! (not that I could afford it!) :o)
