Thought I'd chime in - I love Tape Op, great, great mag. May be a bit
on the techie side for non-recordists but there's usually always
something in there that will interest the general music fan. Plus you
can't beat the price.
As for the new America record, I just heard it. It's pretty cool,
although maybe a little bland in places. I really like the lead off
track. Don't know what recent America records sound like but I assume
this disc is an improvement. Adam/James did a fairly simple/tasteful
production on the whole affair, staying out of the way of the tunes,
just letting them breath.
Unfortunately, the track I submitted to Adam for the project didn't make
the record but he told me the America guys actually liked it well enough
(not enough I guess though :-)
Mike V from Candy Butchers sent me a track he wrote with Hanson for this
project as well; it was cool but unfortunately it didn't make the album
either. Probably could make a pretty good album from the tracks that
didn't make the cut.
Might have posted this here before but if anybody's interested in
hearing my demo, here it is -

After hearing the proper record, I think the song would have fit in
pretty well (if I don't say so myself :-)
