Mike, you are a funny mother f*#ker! I'm laughing my ass off over this post. Hey remind us all on purchasing CDs of Systems Theory. 

Hey Colin, I received my Sundae Club CD and thoroughly enjoyed it. Wonderful production, a sense of humor and plenty of melodic tickling to warm the heart. Great Work!! For you pure  tron freaks out there, Sundae Club has some sublimely realized tron going on in their album, Technostalgia, but it is by no means a "tron" album. There's much more going on. Check it out.

Thanks Fritz!!

We like to try and write a good tune!

Some of the album tracks and a new exclusive track will soon be 
available as cheap downloads from http://www.tunetribe.com  Of course, 
some of that production quality will be lost by the conversion to 
mp3.......

Cheers!!

Yes he is. In small doses he's extremely funny. Unlike my two boys,
both of whom can be hysterical, but frequently collapse from humour
into being annoying, Mike knows exactly when to _stop_ a joke.

Let me do that in a follow-on post that will contain all the blurb
and our self-congratulatory posturing... ;-)

Maybe Colin would like to exchange CDs with us?

That's a great recommendation, Fritz.  I'd like to hear it.

As opposed to Greg Amov who has no idea when to start thinking about the
faders on his latest 4 hour ambient G minor epic.
