Happy new year to everyone! I hope it's a good one for you.

BTW - 'The Swinging Star' arrived yesterday, what a great album. It may replace MGO as my favourite.

Must get used to writing 2004 on checks...must do it...^^

What'd ya think of the horn arrangements on Swinging Star?

[James]

I think the arrangements, as with all the albums, are fantastic. As soon as I heard "The Swinging Star" and Miwa's fabulous voice over it, I knew I was going to like what was coming.

Favourite tracks being Hide and Seek, Sweet Sweet Sweet (which I have thought for ages now since it appeared in Sonic, was the nicest piece of music I've ever heard), Sayonara and Mountain Mountain (dont forget the Japanese before that! )

I must admit, I wasn't keen on the extra bit added on Sayonara... Mike Pela's voice!? No, not sure about that one! lol

I also got some singles and Miwa's first solo album... I havn't listened to it all yet, but I wasn't that keen on it.
