Thanks a bunch, Simon! Very much appreciated! I think saying "Just like Gilmour" would be too much, as there is a little bit less of glue between the notes compared to what the maestro would do. ( However this could be at least partially due to settings. Maybe you could tweak in for more tail?) Yet, I like it a lot and that tickle in my solar plexus, or wherever that indescribable sensation radiates from when me is musically truely touched, was fully going. It made me so feeling brother in crime. ( All like: "Yeah, yeah, yeah!" :O) Very nice, man! And I admire your internalising of the scale. - I am such a sucker for PF and specially David G. that a friend called me up just last week, saying he had the vision that I should write Gilmour. I asked him whether he was nuts. For one what was I to say, and more even, one of the most reknown persons on the planet receiving a mail from some Ruphus guy, as if there weren´t flying in tons of unread posts since decades already. The garbage collection must be taking special fees for centners of fan letters they have to drag away all the time. My friend still day dreaming, continued saying that Gilmour was such a down to earth and fine chap that he might respond and who knows along the chat even helping me to get out of the cesspool. To which I remarked that I would like to smoke the same stuff. Anyway, just wanting to indicate what this music does to me. And besides, another musical aspect: I had young friends back then bring to me those remakes of the old albums in the nineties. Took them out of the CD player after only seconds, and put on the old venyls to demonstrate the difference. And indeed the young folks though unfamiliar with the original takes discerned the difference, which was that despite of perfect playing note per note and even yet better hi-fi with the remakes, the performance esprit close in time to the creation lends the original albums a quality that is just unique. Anyone else figured a difference? Agree? - I hope that must not be hijacking the thread. If so, I may delete parts of this post. Rock on Simon! It is clearly worth it. Ruphus
