like flu in the family have taken privilege over my normal scribing, scratching, musing at the wonderment and stupidity of it all and, well you know, family, love, come first.
I did find a nice review up on the HEMISPHERE CD Baby page
Mr. Armes new release is a surprising developing tapestry. Elegant and transformative, Hemisphere is utterly beautiful and exciting. The tracks continuously evolve, stirring up a fresh perspective with each listen. The beats and percussion are hypnotic, as are the rich melodies that seem to weave in and out of time and space. Developing elements of World, Ambient and Dub styles all live together in unanimity, but the albums real strength is as a whole. I simply love listening to this CD and cannot recommend it enough!

Did you get December yet?
Also if you are on facebook, well, fan yourself under the My Band tab on my page, if for nothing else then because it then ‘fans’ me cooler and better! When I feel better I sound better. Then you’ll feel better. Promise.

Hmm, I’ve been doing all this work where I exist in a drone or very simple harmonic structure yet feel very free to move around within it, I mean, I’ve become quite astute at finding all kinds of wriggle room that works… so now I’m drawn back to making some stuff that is a little bit more complex, yet I want to feel as free within it as I do right now in the modal stream.
