Hey Chris!
Your song titles are great (Once I Built a Railroad, Now I'm Dead)! I love the unorthadox (at least in the US) scales you lean toward...Really cool stuff!


Lee Skipper wrote on September 16, 2009:

Great minds indeed, love your new tracks, especially like The Dazzle + The Madness I would very much like to do a remix if that's cool with you, I have a few ideas, let me know xD

Thanks man, just checked that trailer out, looks a good old classic movie, I wonder if I can get hold of a copy? I'll be looking out for some of those older movies for samples without a doubt Thanks for the comments, I'm glad I was able to give you some inspiration, now you have given me some xD


Lee Skipper wrote on July 7, 2009:

Hey Chris hows it going?, like the new tunes keep doing your thing. Was just wondering, those voice samples you used in Every Man's Dream, where did you get them from? I've heard similar samples used in other songs and I've been wanting to get hold of some for ages(been searching everywhere on the net), I think they would go with some of my music, Please help!!!! P.S. got a couple of new tunes you might like on my page xD

Chris, I just noticed the comment you added to "They Hide", I really appreciate it. That was my first collaboration online. Steve Fultz sent me the instrumental and I wrote the lyrics and sang. The concept was escaping the hard stuff by hiding in your imagination, like kids do. Anyway, thanks again.


Dell Rogers wrote on June 2, 2009:

I really liked your "Shifty" remix. Keep striving for excellence. P.S. I'm way into Cheb and Zero 7 as well.

Smooth tunes you got here. I like Zero 7 too. I'm very much into chillout sounds. Thanx for the add. Peaze
