sweet enjoying these previews :)

oh good, will grab when i'm more awake. wedding present ;-p

yeah well it's ok i guess...got a bit annoyed with the whole thing to be honest...i don't really like doing albums and that...just the odd track here and there...anyway, it's out there now! I'm going to be doing some more things soon, of a slightly different nature...got back into laptop producing plus also want to put out some modular nonsense...cheers to all who have purchased!

Oh lol, I forgot, I bought vsnares, had to go and find paypal password and everything. I'm all set up to do it when I get home from the working place.

Bought this right away and have been listening all day. It's fantastic. Sunup is probably my favorite track from it. Thanks BCM!

/puts that one on then ...

on you for getting it out there man.

obviously i have too much time on my hands and nothing better to do but here's an opinion:

i find these tracks boring and flat as hell. they sound like they were made with no inspiration, nothing to communicate, no emotion to convey etc. excuse the harshness but these are polished turds, rehashed versions of things already done.

i don't see the point in creating the same thing over and over without trying to explore new ideas, new territory. i mean it's ok to refine a technique and idea, but once your musical output consists of obsessional gimmicks created inside a comfort zone, you're pretty much dead creatively speaking. i think new musical ideas, interesting and fresh stuff, can only emerge through different creative process. the medium is the message etc.

i know this music's made on spare time with no pretense and for fun. but i think any musician should, at a certain point, ask himself what his contribution to music is.

to quote rdj, new sounds make you a new person. music is powerful. so stop making those half-assed, unsignificant mini poops. embrace the power of music.

bow down to your master and serve him, you unsignificant vessel of a greater purpose.

don't like it - don't buy it.

Oh lol BT, I want to listen to it now just to be rebellious, hah. Ahh shit I forgot to put it on my phone. I listened to a few tracks yesterday and one hook has stuck in my brain.

From hearing where bcm (wow, ipad autocorrects bcm to 'bum', don't put the boot in even more on the poor fella), nwae, from hearing where bcm was to where he is now, he's far more competent at delivering what he intents in his heart to create. I think that he's not making turds, and that they aren't totally polished. Instead he's making truth nuggets, and as he gets better at extracting and refining the ore there will be more gold.

lol cheers delet. it's ok though, brian's just being brian. thanks brian.

cheers btw there are many musicians i could have made the same comment about:

ceephax, dmx krew, steinvord, heorge garrison, eod. one could argue gerald donald should be there but i happen to love everything he makes, despite the extremely gimmicky nature of his tracks. i don't have a problem with gimmicks per se as long as i like the result.

these tracks are ones i just needed to get out there really so i can close them off and get on with some different things...i'm changing up my workflow a bit and using ableton for more recent stuff (rather than logic/numerology) so things are sounding quite different... I'll post some new stuff at some point.

bump gump

Still loving this and surprised you're not getting more of a response and sales on BC. Excited to hear your new stuff as well.

cheers weakmassive! am slightly disappointed with the seemingly muted response but hey ho...maybe it'll pick up! if not it'll be one of those special secret albums hardly anyone owns :L

I need Ghudus End in FLAC!

Thanks for bumping this thread, didn't see this when it was initially posted.

Purch'ed based on the previews of a few tracks, sounds good!

:)

Actually I just finished my first listen through, solid release BCMboss!

I think my favorite on the first listen through was 2AM EFM, goofy and playful sounding to me.

Across the album I think you kept the track times perfect btw. Only listened to on my monitors, will be playing this on my main system later with a few brews.

thanks dude, enjoy! just about to crack open an ale or two myself
