Hey Bryan
Mark here - MC's partner in crime on the supahip album...I've never
joined one of these yahoo groups before, so I hope I'm doing this
right....

thanks for the kind words - and yeah MC is spot on - we had a ball
making that album, and began the album solely for our own
satisfaction - the great thing is that people really seem to be
enjoying it which is a nice bonus! Recording and mixing a song a day
was a great challenge - but working with MC, well I think he must
have too much red cordial cause man he thinks quick on his feet! And
you mentioned his Macca bassline - it was a pleasure to watch him
play bass, because that Macca bounce, swing and melodic style comes
so naturally to him. I played bass on a coupla tracks only to feel
intimidated by him watching over my shoulder!!

Hmm and I discover here that we're also doing clips for Something's
Gotta Give and Tulsa! Glad I checked in....Cool....
cheers
mark
