I'm sure he hasn't changed his views in that matter Whackmiester. Arledrian is right, sometimes Yorick shares older music that isn't earning or that he and his collaborators want to share. It's pretty darned generous of him and I'm REALLY glad he does! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Whackmeister, the crucial point is that Yorick as the artist *chooses* to share his music with us. That is a world apart from an artist whose works are stolen, i.e. shared without his permission. So the fact that Yorick shares these songs says nothing about his views on illegal downloading.

Oh. Okay. Carry on.

Yorick (Hugh?)... dude these are GREAT! What happened with the band? It's a shame... I really like your sound.

[Yorick]

Arledrian, I really like your sig. Love the font. It's a cool name too.

Ehrys.... if I truly knew the answer..... it's an essay in itself. A loooong story. The other three were brothers, so they keep going. Some time after me, they reformed with another guy and called themselves Invertigo. They had another couple of hits with him. Were bigger than when I was with them. But then I guess the same happened for the singer left before they released their long awaited album. Or something... they had two albums, they decided not to release one and went back in the studio to do another... oh who knows.

The BAND were great. The guys fantastic. I was great great friends with the drummer/writer/programmer Vince Leigh. We have since resolved to the point where six months ago he asked me to sing for them again.

However dealing with the bands management was an incredibly stressful experience. I won't say any more about that.

As for rejoining, I was open, but my life has changed. I don't want to move back to Australia - to Melbourne. I have a world here in NYC, in the Northern hemisphere. I have musical projects I'm working on, the church that I'm helping build. Just not the right time.

I am really glad you guys like the songs. They do nothing sitting unheard. I make music for people to hear and enjoy. I sing not just for myself, but for others. I've long held the idea, that musical talent doesn't just belong to the person it's given to, but to the human society as a whole. That idea compels me to do whatever I can to share what I've been given.

So that's really cool you enjoyed them. I'm gradually putting more and more stuff on my site. There are literally hundreds of songs I've recorded over the years.

Thanks mate. "Here we go" is one song I'd like to release on an album this year. I recently got a drummer to lay live drums to it, and replayed the guitars in. to how it sounds now.

Great Yorick, and many thanks for sharing them! I'll go get them immediately. And as I have said earlier; if you are able to set up some method of paying for downloads, I'd love to get your other songs as well. [img]smile.gif[/img]
