Brilliant Steve. Hilarious, but equally depressing

I have no sympathy for the majors and their artists they should've saved their money
and not given it all to the Bolivians.
Funny little sketch, Ferrari..... pause. Classic
What about the entire chain of high quality professional employment they supported?and not given it all to the Bolivians.

If it's any consolation to you, I record at home but mix in a pro studio.

...and to think in the 80's I was in a band that had a budget of £640k to make an album. They even flew in a snare drum from LA as the drummer said he liked it 
What band was that?Fiction Factory were from up your way, and never made it....as were a couple of McEwans Lager bands (Hipsway "You've got the power" and the chinheads lot, Love Decree "Something so real")
Am I warm?
[Edited after looking up McEwans advert band names!]

Ah, yes very cold!
Wow....I've got one of your singles! (Train).
Were you in the band when that single was out?
If so, did you play the dub bass on the remix versions on the single? Hornby/Mr Chundra? etc (they were cd singles by then (1990 ish) so didn't have b sides)
PS. I will look at your links when I get home. Can't open them here....

Fraid so. It was the album 'Motive' that we spent £640,000 recording (stuipd waste of money - could have done it for a tenth of that)... but then the Royal Philharmonic string section in Abbey Road was ESSENTIAL wasn't it! Were you in the band when that single was out?

Stalker alert.... 
I thought for one second the fact they had the same name was just a bizarre co-incidence...
Ha ha....my 4 year old son is more of a fan than me tbh.I thought for one second the fact they had the same name was just a bizarre co-incidence...
He loves doing the 'locomotion' movements to the aforementioned track. But Mr Carter should take that as a compliment - one, that I dug out a 20 year-old single to play to my son and two, that a new generation will grow up aware of it!
PS. And yes, before you ask, I do the locomotion arm movements too

Most musicians who can actually play a bit, and are in semi-successful bands, tend to pop up in other bands pretty quickly.....or is that when you went the session route?

Well I was a session player when they asked me to join, so I just did it on a daily rate (no Lennon/McCartney moments here!).... having said that I went to college with Simon TC, so it was good fun working with him.

But please tell me you had nothing to do with the Eastenders theme tune 
I wish I had. That was Simon May. I was supposed to be working with him last month but it fell through. My first question was going to be: "Come on then, fess up... just HOW much do you earn from that crap tune?"I'm pretty sure he would have not told me, but I'd be VERY surprised if it were less than 7 figures per anum. It's playing in 150+ countries. At any one time, it's playing somewhere and earning him cash.
The words 'old rope' and 'money' spring to mind
Git.
Now at home, and in true stalker fashion am listening to Train and surfing your website 
A couple of things:-
The bass on 'Train' sounds, how shall I say.......sticcato , sequenced even.
However on the 'Fantasy Island' mix sounds very real, and muddy.
Was the difference post-production work, or are they different takes/instruments?
Torridon. Do you know Lower Diabeg? Friends of my parents built their own house there (circa 1976-79), and I have visited on 3 occasions, including during the build. What a bloody long dead end road to get there though!
