thanks! yeah I've been very lucky, it was a friend of mine who made the artwork, it's so cool and I'm so proud ;) Looking forward to hear your impressions on the music too! Thank you!

Hey there :) I noticed that you like Chris Garneau, so I thought you might enjoy my EP, which I produced on my own, and am doing what I can to get it out there. If you listen to it, let me know what you think :) Thanks for your time and sorry for the spam, I know it's annoying, please forgive me :) http://open.spotify.com/album/1LyWuYU262i9NjdZprPnyh Hugs

New track available on Bandcamp for streaming & purchase: ”Bested Bones”. A collaboration between Feiner and longtime friend Ulf Jansson. What started out as a piano piece by Jansson, gradually evolved into a full-scale production with Feiner’s vocals on top. Other contributors include Robbie Wilson (Autumn Chorus) & Fyfe Dangerfield (Guillemots) on backing vocals, Ulf Dernevik on guitar and renowned producer Björn Olsson… whistling. http://thomasfeiner.bandcamp.com/track/bested-bones

I can see you are a big big big Sylvian fan... I have been a fan since I was about 18... I got to learn about his music through David Bowie as I have been a fan of his since I was around 15. No doubt you have seen him live many times... I have seen him in Vicar Street in Dublin and also the Olympia Theatre in Dublin. Both gigs were superb.. his voice is just getting better and better with age. Thomas Feiner I then discovered only a few years back through Sylvian's music... specifically Sow The Salt... as soon as I heard Thomas's voice I was hooked. My wife adores his voice also... and The Opiates would rank high on my all time favorite album lists... up there with Bowie's Low... are you a Bowie fan at all... ?

such a pleasure you like it!

Thanks Arrow Sparrow... I seen it only a few weeks back myself... this new version is even better than the "Revised" version... I never knew he could improve on perfection... :) But he did... :)

May I suggest you the new version of thomas feiner's yonderhead? ^.^ http://youtu.be/UBU7e8-D6Xc http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1460740387

Ahhh... A fellow Spotify fan... I'm an early adopter of Spotify here in Ireland and I love it. It's a pity the Spotify iPhone app won't work here in Ireland yet. I use Spotify to check out recommends on Last.fm in full and then if I really like them I either buy the physical CD or buy the album off iTunes. I'm an old skool album lover (showing y age now...lol.. :) ... coming from my vinyl album heritage.... I even can't stand Shuffle mode... Great to hear you are lovin Antony's new album... I'm loving it too... check his website for great new videos and he's even taking over the Guardian for a week... so lots there to enjoy. I'm not a huge Leonard Chen fan.... but I do love the Live in London album... and I love the covers Antony, Rufus, Martha and Teddy did of his songs. Have a good day... and keep the faith. Anthony

Going to see Rufus hopefully in April in the new Grand Canal Theatre... that's if he doesn't cancel. He's already canceled Feb/March tour in Australia, dunno, but I think his mother's cancer is back again. Bye the way.... great taste in music... he says as it's the same as my own...lol... Another great artist I came across the past few months in Thomas Dybdahl. An amazing singer songwriter... seen him in Cypress Avenue a few months back... poor guy..only about 30 people there... but he and his band were superb... really gave it their all... always a sign of a great performer I think.... so one to check out.... as I want to spread the word on this guy bigtime... but most of my mates wouldn't be big on the new music scene... all bloody 80s and 90's fans..... what about the here and now I say...lol... and the future.... Drop me reply when and if you get a chance. Thanks for the shout out.... a nice distraction from work at the moment. Looks after yourself and talk again soon... :)

sssshhhhhh.... you are right...lol..... I couldn't resist..... but I have been good and ordered the proper CD version from CD WOW.... so hopefully that makes up for my boldness... what ya think of it...?? very different to Occupanther... but the sameish tooo.... deeper.... more textured.... needs more and more plays.... I want the CD quality version though.... feel I'm missing out a 160Kps... I tried to add Midlake to my Ticketmaster alert setting but they never accepted it... so forgot to see if there was an upcoming gig... gutted to see I missed out on the first release of tickets.... only standing left and my wife isn't big on standing... so sorta gutted really.... been a big fan now for a few year... and really liking what I'm hearing.... definitely seems like a progression going on here.... what you think..?? Anthony

shh we are both being bold playing the new Midlake ! which reminds me I must get my hands on tickets for vicar street ,, Feb 14th ..the Girlfriend will have to forget what day it is .

Thank's for the feedback ,,,will add as Friend ,,to keep track ,,all the best

Hi Anthony , thanks for the visit , you can get a quite clear idea on the type of music you listen to from your charts ! ( Songwriters with a complex edge to them , maybe ?),
