When I first heard this I loved it...haunting, yearning, searching tune. In hindsight, I wish David Tickle would have had more time to better develop Eric's tone for the album but the songs shine nonetheless.

Awesome job. If I were a network chief I'd throw enough money to quadruple your salary and hire you to do the whole series!

This has got me to wondering if there'd be any interest in reimaging the entire series for the retail market...

Ok, part 2 now. They recorded in Japan, then probably had to cart around the tapes with them for a few months...print through happens with signals of +4 dB and upwards and if they're wound like they're supposed to be, tails-out, print through would be heard as ghosting or echoes. Wish I could h...
