karlfer Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) This is the first publicly released CD I've ever played on. At 56 years old! Not overly impressed TBH but hey ho. It only took drummer boy and me around 1 hour to do the four tracks that I played on (you can't hear the bass anyway, thankfully). Took the gaytartists 4 days. So our cock ups took up much less time As I understand it, follow the link, then click on the little blue Troyen thingy and it opens up all 8 tracks on Soundcloud (the 9th was very rough, didn't make it). Crazy Lady, Don't send me to war, Future's friend and Dreams never lie, all re-mastered from the original GIL NORTON!!! produced demo, with the original bassist, Dave Strathern. The writer does not like me calling Crazy Lady Tiger Feet . First Blood, Syrian Lady, Finish what you started and Backlash all have me on. I like the middle bit and last two minutes of Syrian Lady, coz I wrote them bits. I like the last two minutes of Finish What you started, coz I wrote them I should be pleased I passed the audition, they let me contribute and I've achieved a "release". Sounds a little better on my HI-FI, but overall, just s bit disappointed.

karlfer Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 Following is a link to the second review of our album (that I have found anyway). The 1st one was quite good, but this one is very kind http://corelive.co.uk/?wp_artists=troyen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charic Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Not had a chance to listen yet but I'd be careful with soundcloud as it's actually VERY easy to download tracks from there (loads of tools online) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 Wow, thanks guys, not very often anybody pays any attention to me. Including both bands Charic, the illustrious self appointed leader of Troyen tells me it can't be done. To be honest, I don't give a monkey's wang It's not like we are ever going to go professional, or trouble the charts. Do they still have charts Thanks for taking the time and trouble guys.

Stephen Houghton Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Really like it, has a retro rock vibe but really cool, took me back. Nice one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 Thanks Stephen, really kind of you to say so. They are getting a bit carried away wanting to do another album. The amount of time it took for the two gaytartists to do 4 tracks, I doubt I have the life expectancy of another album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]Having listened to the CD about 10 times it is still really enjoyable. Not one track on there i don`t like. It is earmarked for going in my jukebox.
