`Tales Of Us` - Reviews By Us
I'm a little confused as there was an introduction song as they walked on stage in Manchester and I expected that to be on the album somewhere? The intro song was from "The night of the Hunter", a 1950s film.

Guess they maybe needed more time to rehease for Tuesday's gig?

Yes, they're being persistent little buggers today. Am off out dog-walking now. Hope they stay (mostly) away.

Well, on the store it just says 24-bit WAV. Which is correct. Better than CD quality.

Have we confirmed 24/96? Not quite. 24 bits per sample, but 44.1kHz sample rate.

Oh, i couldn't agree more about the "sum" viewpoint. How very different from Head First.

Ah. I think you will love it Peter. It's closest relative in the frapp canon is definitely Seventh Tree. But this is less poppy, full of atmosphere. Much yearning and sadness. Dark but not depressing, ultimately.

I have NOTHING to do today :) I had the choice of listening to the full quality WAVs on my pc/amp in the lounge... or listening to the converted MP3s on my phone + bedroom amp... whilst lying in bed. I chose the latter! Ooh, hearing Thea for the ver…

Well, you could try and get them. Usually it will prompt you to choose a folder. If not, the worst is that they will be at un unknown location on your pc.

You could download the files, put them on a CD and play that. (Carpy, i think Peter said he *does* have networking.)
