mellow this is soothing but discordant, like there's something rotten in toyland. Lovely little piece. Currently working my way thru your album Michael, and really impressed - the vox and guitar on track one are killer! steve |

Thank You! Oh Michael, you're my hero! What you did with this is absolutely perfect and adds exactly what the song needed, some more interest and depth and dimension and the ever-important cool parts. I love the fact that you've brought in all these wonderful sounds, yet kept everything very musical and dreamy. I've used this music to put myself to sleep for a long time (it works really well) and I'm glad to hear that I'll still be able to use it as a lullaby. (The old version is totally getting ditched from the iPod now!) When I wrote the original song, I was thinking of a house, mine in particular, and how all these families had lived there before me and had lives in my living room, and how families will live there after me and would have lives there, too, and how I know none of these people, yet they are/will be intimately connected to my home and how that's kind of strange. So, I had originally planned to put lots of snippets of voices like the part where I say, "come inside," and say la la la in the song, but never finished that. In light of what my intent was with the song, I think the time-shifting effects you used, as well as the sounds that evoke the future, fit really nicely with my original concept, even though you didn't know about it when you were working, so that's very cool. I'm very, very grateful that you did this and incredibly thrilled with the results. A few people, including me have tried adding additional instruments or beats to this and haven't managed to come up with anything we liked and I think your choice was perfect, to add effects and gleetchlab sound and to rearrange the end. I really think you made incredibly intelligent decisions and made this about 80 million percent better, so thank you! L |

GleetchLedeb This does have an eerie "I got on this merry go round, and found myself stuck here behind the looking-glass" dreamy quality... very very cool. Is this the imagery of the old man, reflecting on his childhood, with the blips in the hospital room slowly fading to flatline? :-) ttfn, Drakonis |

Workbench Here's a link to the Workbench for people who don't know what that is, since Bryn just posted over there that he hadn't heard of it before. http://www.macjams.com/artist/Workbench |

Ooh wow......... Blown away, blown away, blown away..... Great treatment. Sounds as thought you're DJ'ing your way through the piece, improvising as you go. Through a haize of purple smoke it's like totally cool man!! Or is that looking out through purple glasses at cool smoke?? Same effect..Same effect....Same effect. Peace. Paul |

It doesn't get much better than this really great production - kinda Boards of Canada meets Looper at Eno's house. This is one long piece I never wanted to end. Lisa - you're to be commended for supplying great grist for Michael's mill. I feel so bad that I haven't done the workbench thing yet. That'll have to change. |

Interesting blend The mix of the reverse, that drum rhythm, and the occasional childhood laughter brings about a curious vibe. This is a well made piece (though I haven't heard the original). Interesting work here. |

This is... ...incredible. Instant download. I love Lisa's theme of houses, present and past. I have often thought of the same thing in my house. Especially when I first bought and gutted/renovated it. Stood in the rooms, lights off, bare wall frames, moon through the window. Great, great interpretation of the picture, Michael...excellent work. Very moving... |

How weird! I started playing this without reading the notes and thought "What the....it's a rip off!!! Where did he get that from? I know that!" etc etc Then I realised I'd listed to this once on the Workbench and it must have stuck. It's one of those classic little motif's that just gets into your brain and stays.......forever..... Good work! Phil |

Great piece. Beautiful music and mixes of sounds. The only complaint is the original beep was a little too loud for the music and I had to reduce the volume more than i would have liked it. Very nice. Thank you. |

Alpha Knock (W/Le Debutante) Very cool. Great Collab. |
remind of those crazy synths from early 70's records that now sit in my basement. kinda nice revisit.
still trying to figure where to go with your workbench piece. I've worked on it & tricked it up quite a bit, still not sure where I'm going with it yet.
