It's nice to know someone is going to want to hear it after all this input and time. Glow in the Dark was finished very close to it's target date. It's been all mixed and ready to go since mid December. As I've mentioned on Myspace, and the AuralG site, only the artwork, mastering and manufacturing steps remain. Mastering is but a day trip to MA. and manufacturing, aside from the dollar amount, is only a 2 week process. The artwork side of things has an opportunity to use an effect that has yet to be really seen and is worth the wait. (for me anyhow) This is why Tom Ditto has a copy. So he can ingest the album and take in to consideration it's emotional content as we design the art. A few other people, (my reliable objective ear-force) have heard a number of mixes and have relayed their sonic feedback as to how certain passages and effects react on their various systems and in their various studios. All part of my QC efforts. BTW, They're diggin' it. The major stumbling block to realizing this record has been my own physical limitations as of late. I took a nasty spill after the holidays and somehow managed to fracture and shred up my knee. I've spent the last 6 weeks getting xrays, MRI's, ultrasounds, drugs, braces, crutches, canes, you name it, in an effort to stabilize the problem which no one seems to be able to correctly diagnose. They gone from sprain to tear to break to blood clot to alien gestation and can't get on the same page. Quite a drag. I spend most days horizontal and not really getting a hell of a lot done. The new studio remains at 99% cabled and I'm finding it impossible to finish until I can at least bend or kneel. My hopes are to mend enough for a mastering trip and go from there. So we're in the home stretch and are very frustrated by the delays. Again thanks for the interest and support. You're certainly one of the reasons and people I do this for in the first place. But it is finished and it sounds like a million bucks. I'm quite pleased. C'mon over, I'll play it for ya.
