Jay Bharadia remix up on SoundCloud
If you haven’t seen/heard my remix of Jay Bharadia, you can listen to/download it from SoundCloud, as well as the other remixes from Lone, Airliner ’67 and Implosion Quintet.
I’m actually on SoundCloud, and although currently mainly using it as a means of receiving mastering files, I’ll be uploading demos and sketches now and then, so if you’d like to ‘follow’ me to be notified of track uploads, please visit my page. SoundCloud is a very nifty service, totally optimised for listening and commenting to music—you can comment on particular sections of tracks using the natty timeline while listening. As far as I know there are also the obligatory widgets for posting/sharing tunes too.
The server can occasionally strain under the weight of users, as it’s getting rather popular, but it seems pretty responsive these days, ironing out its initial teething problems.
Meanwhile, back at Ochre HQ, the new album is back from mastering, coutesy of panicStudios. Sounding warm and punchy after being fed through some ridiculously expensive analogue gear, waiting patiently for a release schedule to slot into. I’ll be able to spill some more beans once I’ve got a definite plan to unveil.
Midsummer Nice Dream CDs and vinyl continue to shift nicely, but there are still a few copies left if you fancy one. If you’d rather have a download version, it’s slowly making its way through the usual download stores like iTunes and Napster etc. At the moment it’s currently selling for a ridiculously cheap $1.69 at Amie Street (for 320kbps mp3, no less), though given the dynamic pricing used there it’ll probably creep up slowly as people grab it. Also on Bandcamp for a flat $6, in just about every digital format available ever.
I think that’s the current news round-up sorted.

Beautiful remix!
Knowing what kind of music you compose this remix is unusually instrumental plus you brought in a vocal which is non-typical for Ochre. Good experiment.
Ah, I see AMND is also up on eMusic now too! So that’s iTunes, eMusic and Napster, all delivered to in a couple of weeks—quite impressed with EmuBands.
I always wondered why you took out this remix from the free downloads list. Ive had many blissful moments while this tune was playing.
I was just thinking before i came here and read this “hmm…i wonder if hes posted any news about the album”, and sure enough!
Take your time Chris. Let it come together at its own pace.
@Aaron Took it off as it was originally due for release somehow, but I guess I could always put it back on my own site—will ask Jay at some point.
dude thanks for u music!
i want buy Midsummer Nice Dream vinyl, but for now don’t have money, and planed to buy on next week.
if this no problem – please hold one LP for me (my paypal email in this message) for next week
@jim
No probs — I shall set a copy aside for you.
Oh…
I used to have this piece of music until my hard drive crashed and took everything with it. This brings back so many memories of mine, particularly, staying up until 5 AM finishing art projects. Your music kept my mind creative and my inspiration full!
Beautiful tune.
I feel it distracts, the way Sound Cloud allows people to leave messages on parts of the work. I also dislike the similar feature of Flickr, where people can annotate images. IMO it’s extremely rare that anyone has anything to say that justifies annotating the actual work. (In this particular instance, could not the commentator have just left a comment on the whole work? Surely his message would have been more coherent in that case, anyway.)
@nf
Well, we could say that for 99% of this Web 2.0 business, to be honest! It could potentially be useful for private collaborations, on pinpointing bits of the track we like, queries about particularly sounds/instruments used for specific bits, offering critical constructive feedback etc., but it gets a bit cumbersome when there are multiple comments from multiple authors all over the timeline.
Just waiting for the spammy comments to start appearing…
