I like the electronic ones, do more of that. (they are very good!) The singing is a letdown on a lot of the songs because the recording isn't that great, like I can hear clicks, and you breathing. Also there is clipping on some of the songs which is kind of annoying, you really need to mix & record the songs better imo. I really like time to go's music but the singing kinda kills it for me.

but yeah this stuff is sweet. v good

aw. Yeah, I used to think I was a better singer than I am. Well, okay. I know the quality of the sound isn't great but I am working with equipment that is basically free, I don't really have any money to make it sound much better although on say falling out of a body I think I have come as far as I can with the stuff I have to use, at least in term of sound production.

I'm digging this as I do everything you make, though I wonder why you didn't include multi-color neon man, its one of my favorite songs by you.

When you multitrack your vocals you should try doing more of them where you use a different pitch for each track. I know you can do it because you have in some tracks whilst others you just double up and it sounds like a group of several jamies in chorus. Which is a scary mental image, i might add.

You should well do a collab with us before we run out of time off uni, it'd be so awesome.

A milestone of elliott fruscinante trance!
I thought exactly this on 1 or 2 songs, can't remember which. I doubt that's what you were going for but I felt Vibes.

But yeah I like this greatest jamie hits album a lot, I've been listening to it quite a bit. do you have your older stuff uploaded anywhere, I have coming back to life but other stuff. Are you still working on your new album btw? I hope it gets dropped soon. I'm looking forward to it being dropped.

I was listening to this in the library today and it occured to me that you may really like VNV Nation. Google "the farthest star". Some of your songs song distinctly VNVish and that appeals to me greatly.

i am curious about what some of you people think of 'falling out of a body' because it is the most recent song i put on this and i think i might post another album of another 20 songs that i didn't use for this one. i'll just post that in this topic though since it's just a double b side collection.

I have not been able to download this off of mediafire. sites like that have a tendency not to work correctly on my computer. Can you possibly email me it? [email protected].

I really did like it, one thing that struck me is its actually the first song I've heard by you that you accent comes through in your singing, which gave it a rather uniqueness compared to the other songs I've heard by you,  and the background music is very soothing to me, though sometimes it kinda muddled together which probably is the result of the recording equipment more than anything.

okay jamie, this is really really good. i love most of the synth-oriented tracks and the acoustic ones are good too. particular highlights: not too heavy now, time to go, dust.
