Reminds me a bit of coldplay when it gets going..

The man should charge for music this inspiring. Just my opinion Steve Jones tag:www.foyvance.co.uk:/content_article_402/5680 2008-08-08T19:21:21Z 2008-08-08T19:21:21Z First up - thanks to Foy, not only for such a blush-worthy post, but for the funky-ass BVs he did on Time Once a Friend!! @Rory - its hard to explain the reasons behind why I decided to release this album for free... but already today people have been clicking the "donate" button and paying for it by choice, which is actually ten times better than getting a "sale" because you know they have actively chosen to pay for it, reflecting something of their spirit. I just think the days where artists produce work and people pay for it and that's just how it goes are dying. I'm not saying that creative work doesn't have a commercial value... but for me, getting people listening to this music is more important than anything. I just want to celebrate the friendship and joy that led to it being created in the first place, and if money is supposed to come as a result, it will find a way.

As much as I hate to say it, 'grower' is the word here - it grows better the more I listen to it. And 'Summerlight' could be up there as one of the best opening tracks I've ever heard (that list includes Foy's 'Be With Me' too). To all who are on this site - buy Steve's album and keep the music alive. Now for Foy's new stuff.... mark tag:www.foyvance.co.uk:/content_article_402/5690 2008-08-11T10:21:19Z 2008-08-11T10:21:19Z look out for an upcoming triple album by that new group, Cafe Vony, indeed.....

I downloaded the mp3 versions and they were all m4a tracks so you might want to look at the files you have in your ziup files unless I am doing something wrong. Just downloading the AAC versions now. One other thing, I'll donate if I like them which I am sure to if you are a friend of Foy, but I would definitely pay more for 16 bit 44.1KHz wav files. anon tag:www.foyvance.co.uk:/content_article_402/5700 2008-08-12T14:53:35Z 2008-08-12T14:53:35Z Paul, Im sure your a real hoot to head out for a pint with......

(that's payday here in the states!) keep making really beautiful art, all of you!

I realised the mistake with the mp3s, and that has now been corrected. I'm happy to upload 44.1KHz files (WAV or AIFF) or just send you a CD - we can work something out ... you can email me steve@sayonaradeadweight.com.... @Trey - thanks a lot... glad you got them working in the end!

I'm sure the guy who invented mp3's is a good laugh too! Jamie tag:www.foyvance.co.uk:/content_article_402/5789 2008-08-18T22:44:31Z 2008-08-18T22:44:31Z Paul, I have to agree with ANON.. Chill out man and enjoy it! and mark, your hardly Billy Connelly! Mark tag:www.foyvance.co.uk:/content_article_402/5798 2008-08-19T08:41:12Z 2008-08-19T08:41:12Z Jamie, I'm certainly Billy Connelly but at least if I comment on something at least I say who I am rather than do it to their face rather n a snidey way. I don't know Paul from Adam but t appears all he was doing was trying to be helpful, not least to Steve Jones and, judging by what Steve replied, helpful he was! Geez! On a more positive note, I don't know about Flowers On Mars but, for lovers of atmospheric music, might want to check out Flowers Of Hell www.myspace.com/flowersofhell mark.ede@gmail.com tag:www.foyvance.co.uk:/content_article_402/5799 2008-08-19T08:49:15Z 2008-08-19T08:49:15Z The post above makes no sense, not least because I tried to write it without my glasses on!! What I meant to say was, of course, I'm NO Billy Connelly and if one is going to critique something (and this is the purpose of having a comment facility?) then the rules (in my world, if not Foy's or Rod the Mod's) is maybe is have the courage of one's convictions to identify yourself (anyone can make a snide comment as Anon) and look the person in the eye as it were! I've still not got my glasses on but hopefully, I've got the main drift across..... The other part of me says save your fingers and never engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed man but.... there you go......

I heard Foy's voice poking out in one of the tracks for a tiny moment tantalising us. More of that would've been good! But anyway, I can't believe hes giving this album away... go get it!
