Yes, we've both been around here a while. You are clearly doing good
stuff. I am, unfortunately, mostly getting old, very old... :-)

Listening to the new Glass Hammer CD "Three Cheers for the
Broken-Hearted" tonight as it just arrived in the mail today. More
upbeat and slightly less prog-ish than their last couple of CDs, but
very nice. Seems a lot of the vocals are *very* processed. Don't know
what I think of that yet.

Anyone wanting to delve into mastering could have fun listening to
this one as it was mastered by Bob Katz himself apparently. He is a
very talented guy. It's very cool how you can listen to the song and
it sounds good, but if you decide mentally to focus on the bass or
drums or keys they are all there standing out.

This is a band I wish more people knew about and supported. I buy my
GH CDs directly from them online. If someone was looking to buy one
consider "Culture of Ascent".

I hope you keep up the good work.

cheers,
Mark
