Hi Andrew,
The reason I love this is because I love the PSB and this track so, hearing it in it's rawest form, direct out of the Fairlight without EQ, effects, and additional synths, is exciting for me. I would love to hear more of this!!!
I'm sure the NAMM presence did it's trick... it certainly did for me, I was hooked.
Peter V: Send me a CMI 30A and I'll sort you out a banging track!!! ;)
Cheers,
Peter

Actually the sequence sounds very poor to me - very plastic-sounding, no
dynamics and so on. I9;m sure the Fairlight is capable of much better than
that?

David, it's interesting to know you have a lot of stuff with a Blue Weaver
connection, though. A very under-rated player in view of some of the
excellent things he did with the Strawbs, at least. I lost touch with his
career when he joined the Bee Gees, though I remember him getting the
Fairlight.

Peter, while I'm not impressed with this as a Fairlight demo I agree with
you entirely - a really good demo was needed at NAMM and I was surprised we
didn't get one. Not a lot came out of NAMM in terms of demo film clips. It
was all very basic - though hopefully it did its job of attracting potential
customers. It would certainly have been nice to see a lot more in terms of
Fairlight creativity.
