It was so hard getting all this stuff done with a job and a girlfriend to hold down (ooer) but the Elmo Sexwhistle EP is finally finished, i've recorded a full band, programmed using a MIDI Nes, synthesized my ass off and arranged for the Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, I've learnt so much and done a crap load of work so i'm finally happy this is FINALLY done!

you can download it at:

I'm well proud of this so i hope you all enjoy it ^.^

Looking forward to hearing it. I just discovered your music yesterday and had wished I could put it on a CD. I really like "Go Down", especially the live version.

A lot of different personalities in there...

Great sounds - I would have squeezed some of them more (but I love the sound of compression) and the vocal is a little quiet for me on all tracks.

The low mids are a little weird on my system too but it's probably my system (toddler may have turned a knob or two :-)

Take it to a really good mastering engineer maybe?

I like the drums in Egomania reminds me of an eighties computer game for some reason (very clever).

My favourite track has got to be Genderfuck though.

OK, I listened to the EP a few times. I really hope you get attention for this. It’s very good. Each track is an improvement over the myspace version, though I still like those as well. Do you sell any of the myspace songs or any others?

“Go Down”, in any of the three incarnations I’ve listened to, has one of the best hooks for a chorus I’ve heard in a really long time. I like the unplugged version because it strips the spirit of the song down to its bare essentials; it has a very pure quality. The myspace longish version also has its merits; it’s grittier and reminiscent of early to mid 90s. The organ is fantastic here. And the EP long version is fantastic for all the additions to it. The lead-in was great. The two outros with the solo, but especially the retro game music stuff, is pure ear candy.

yep, i'm learning and certainly improving but i'm no mastering engineer, fear not though, as i'm gonna give a copy to our sound tech charlie to see if he wants to tweak it...thanks for the feedback so far, i'm certainly very proud of what has become Go Down ^.^

Good job, I liked Android the best.
I looked at your my space, watched the youtube video, looked at your pictures and everything.... I am very confused about something :scratch: I watched the youtube video first, thought it was 'sexy', then I looked at everything else, and it ocured to me that the person in the video might be a guy? :scratch: what might be girls who are actually guys who I am not sure if they are actually girls..... now I am very confused :scratch: or is this one of those things that I should just not ask?
Anyway, good music

Is that you in your avatar picture? I take it the whole band is like this? Is it a guy in the youtube video also?
I was just very, VERY surprised, because I was admiring various pictures of what I thought were women in lingerie type clothing and then I figured out that these might be guys. :oops: :oops: :oops: Sorry
