Apologies to the throngs of fans waiting or the imminent release of Looking Glass, only to see nothing after August has come and gone. Lesson learned - mastering can take a lot longer than what one plans for. Technical difficulties, many of them a natural part of the process, have caused an inevitable delay to the release date. I believe we are very close, and will announce the date only when I am 100% certain of its viability. You can expect to hear some previews on this web site very soon.
In a somewhat bizarre twist of events, the latest technical hurdle pits my meek little acoustic guitar against the mighty Metallica in testing the threshold of one of the top brand limiters around. Guess who's winning? Yup - my acoustic. Somehow harmonics are blowing past the headroom of the box, and I've become a test-bench case at the limiter's manufacturing plant. Maybe their next generation hardware will be advertised as "We can handle Tom Getter Slack without a sweat!".
Armed with this knowledge, I'm thinking my next project should involve a new twist on a Metallica cover album. Or better yet, why limit it to Metallica? I could do a Greatest Metal Hits - Mellow Style that beats the living crap out of that pretentious, wimpy guitar distortion with some true sonic disturbance. I can picture it now - 'Come On Feel the Noise' (proper spelling in *my* liner notes), with that wicked acoustic guitar distortion kicking in on the word "noise". It'll be awesome!
