Oh yes, Rob. I think they do. :D

Are these in chronological order? I had no idea you had so much old tape stuff!
Listening to Upon The Moss...awesome. Is that a slide guitar? Kind of sounds like a pitch knob being tweaked. Some really cool ideas in there...I like the odd-rhythm guitar that comes in at 2.02...tons of reverb. This is the good shite!
Night Falls- Aw man, the copious distortion's gone!, Seems like you're getting better captures all around here. Great textures with the wah and delay!
Sparrows- Nice. Some double tracked guitar even. You seem to have a really heavily reverbed vocal sound on a lot of this early stuff of yours...it's interesting to hear, as I think most of the recentish stuff of yours I've heard on here goes for this distinctive crisp crackling sound I've actually wanted to emulate at times.

Thanks for posting these- they are cool!

Sorry man, been away camping in the Lakes over the last week. Glad they fulfilled the remit. On On The Moss, I think I had an open tuning and used a slide while strumming all the strings. Guess it did give it a tuning knob kind of feel - what the tuning was is long forgotten though!

I still love reverb, but I guess it was a bit of a crutch early on to hide vocal insecurities. It was also from running the mic through a guitar effects unit - I'm not sure I've managed to find a reverb sound I like as much from vsts.

I think I had designs on turning Night Falls... into something proper, but never got round to it. I found another tune I did with some friends - if I get chance, I'll transfer it to PC.

Thanks for listening mate
 
Miriam's House is cool - the bleeps & bass really do place it in time but there's nothing wrong with that. It'd be a good song regardless - and could easily be rerecorded in a different genre - it'll always be creepy good.
This thread has certainly revealed a trove of hidden gems. I'm very impressed with the onsg writing as well as the achievements with , what now seems, limited technology.

If you post more, I will too..This thread got a little more active than I expected and I started to worry it was pissing off the legitimate posters in here!
