zzzzzz, I love the layout of your website!
I listened to operator. The robot vocals are great.

I liked Hole even better. The chorus is excellent.

I see you're selling your cd's on cdbaby. So are we! But they won't be available for a few days.

Good luck to you!
John, Friend

Hi John,

I visited your link; it’s a funny site with a lot of intriguing people inside…
The music you propose is somehow reminiscent of what did “The Alan Parsons Project”; similar way of singing, tempo, acoustic, etc. But the main novelty comes from the addition of electronic effects and a rhythm that is not supposed to be rock to an expression that is supposed to be rock-oriented. Quite interesting approach.
“Under the gun” is definitely a great song. It differs from the three other pieces of the playlist in that it is less experimental and it flows better. I particularly like the ending (from 3:45 and beyond)!

Thierry.

P.S.: Thank you for your visit and the comments you posted about my site.

Isolation is a great song! I'm honored that you would compare it to our stuff. Thank you very much.

Isolation reminds me of the swedish band Anekdoten a little bit, but more electronic. It's a really beautiful song. Thanks a lot.

Do you sell any albums?

Hello John

I have had a listen to your music and very much enjoyed what I heard.

Traeth

As a post-script, you may enjoy an album by "Gentle Giant" called "Octopus", it was released back in the '70's and may be difficult to get hold of....but well worth a listen.

It's too bad that no labels have picked up on your music. It's really well done.

right now i'm working on a way to give out free mp3's to people on a mailing list. I haven't figured out how to do what I want to do yet, but if you would like to be on the mailing list, e-mail me at jby343@yahoo.com.

the mp3's would be by either Friend, or bands who are related to Friend. It won't all be electronic. It won't all be music. And it won't start for a while. But if you're interested e-mail me...that goes for anyone else, too.

Thank you [dK], keep us posted.
