"Thanx so much Chay. I had never heard of Medwym Goodall so I looked him up. I was very impressed with his music so I will have to purchase some it. Have you every heard of David Arkinstone? He is one of my favorites."

I hadn't heard of David Arkinstone before, so I looked him up and his material is very like Medwyn Goodall's! I still have a few MG audio tapes which I've not had a cassette player to play them on for some years so I decided to re-listen to some on YouTube and I was absolutely shocked by what I heard! Although all of his music on YT is pristinely pure digital it didn't sound nearly as good as on my audio tapes as they're all analogue recordings and none of the atmosphere that I'm used to was there! It's surprising just how much is lost with digital. With a lot of music I have on vinyl it's not so noticeable, but I had the same shock the first time I heard Morricone's "Once Upon a Time in the West" in digital format as the original analogue from the movie has so much more warmth and feeling to it. But re MG, my favourite of his albums that I've heard - maybe only 6 or 7 out of his unbelievable 141! - is his very first, "Emergence", as some of the tracks 100% evoke the sea and seaside. My favourite tracks on that are "Sail Away", "Driftwood", "Sea of Clouds" and my all-time favourite of his, "Tideline", to which for my own benefit I wrote lyrics for! Among my other favourites of his in other styles are "Celebration" and "Sun Drumming". It's amazing just how many instruments he played.
