an aside: folks into ambient electronica, field recordings, etc .. that sort of thing may find it worthwhile subscribing to the Touch newsletter. Great label, good people and tres cool music, imo

I've had tracks done with Denis.

A lovely gent and great musicality in his work.

old gregg

pleased to hear this Paul but not surprised.
I've never met Denis but have been a big fan of Touch stuff for years and know the two lads behind the label.
In my perfect world, I'd end up having stuff worked on by Denis and released on Touch ... but not quite yet.

PaulBrewer

Mick Glossop uses him too.

old gregg

crikey, if ever there was an endorsement. He worked on Ricochet by Tangerine Dream, a major album from my teens and one of the reasons I started making music.

PaulBrewer

He has a 'home' studio in his basement built by Chris from Munro Acoustics.
They had to dig down to get sufficient ceiling height !

It's a small space but sounded great I though.

'Professor' Glossop is on MySpace if you'd care to link up ...

old gregg

indeed and he's on facebook too (a real trendy guy )
