Excellent, go Robert!

Very nice. My FWIW comments: the bass is nicely compressed
and sustained but the kick is a bit low so they don't quite
reinforce each other. I know some people like "dynamics" but 
I prefer a radio-like mix with everything "in yer face" so, 
ideally, I'd prefer some sidechain limiting of the vocals, 
and solo, so the surrounding music was up a bit more. Perhaps 
a bit more stereo split of the acoustic guitar too.

That is not quite a direct link... are you using the redirect
to do some logging or something ?

I pasted the direct URL to the Rad IO page and it streams
nicely for me. Is this a problem for you that anyone using
the Rad IO streaming link probably does not get logged ?

The version number is a but awkward... perhaps there
could be a "convention" that there be a song_latest.ogg
soft link (or copy) to the latest verion ? This way other
links around the planet pointing to a particular song
will automatically always pull in the latest version?

Also, FWIW, in spamatica_-_undecided.ogg during the racey
chorus part, that splash symbol sounds like banging on the 
side of a tin shed... there is no "ting" to it at all, like 
a lo bit rate soundfont instrument or something. I think
it should be the cup of a ride cymbal.

There needs to be two parts... an ongoing "working group" 
discussion or comments about a piece and then some kind of
summary or permenent changelog for the same piece. The
first suits a mailing-list and the 2nd a Wiki/web-page. A
forum could kind of work for both, I guess, but I find them
too cumbersome signing up for yet another account, logging
in, and the heavy HTML overload per message... and those
inevitable useless one-liner comments.

No one is complaining about song postings/discussion here
yet anyway... perhaps when the quantity picks up to the 
point where the LAU help-line is getting drowned then it'll
be natural to move on to elsewhere.

1.99 c worth.
