Yes, Mike is correct. It's okay to feel kind of weird in this situation, but you will adjust over time. Good luck.

Not my cup of tea.

Just downloaded. Sounds really good so far.

I came her originally to learn more about ambient music and what was out there and where I could find. it. Over time, I've gotten to know people on the forum and it's become a comfortable and mostly civilized place to discuss and learn about many things. It's a lot better for me to read and participate in discussions with people I know even though I've never physically met anyone on this forum. It feels like home.

Well said, Mike. I seem to have the opposite problem, though. In the past, I tended to be very loose with my first attempts at recording something. Where I had my problems was going back and fixing what was wrong with it. Some time back I was listening to some pieces I had recorded in the mid 1980's ( a time when I was most prolific). I kept wondering why I didn't go back and rerecord some of the pieces or fix what was wrong in what I had recorded. I would record something very raw and then move on to something else. Short attention span, maybe? Anyway, I'm trying to get back to recording now that I am getting past my awkwardness with recording on a computer ( I bought an outboard recorder). I'm going to make a real attempt at finishing what I start.

Interesting album. I did really enjoy it. My favorite track is Perception Shift. I also enjoyed World Without Sky. Actually there weren't any bad tracks. I did catch myself starting to drift off while listening to this album. I was thinking that ambient music is one of the few forms of music where falling asleep while listening can be considered a compliment.  Look forward to hearing more from you.

Roland HPD-15. I love that instrument!

Same here.

The green one at the top looks like the Elektrix Filter Factory.
