Hey gang,

Quite a while since I`ve delved a little deeper into some sort of written article.. I`m aware some of you guys actually do like these, so I do apologise for the lack of em, but we`ll see about more hopefully going forward, as that was the initial plan with the site at the start of this little adventure, but hey, times do change dont they ?

Anyways, since the English Summer is now practically over, and there`s lots of footy on TV (only on as background-promise), just wanted to say that I might go a little deeper on a few subjects close to our musical hearts over the coming month/s. I have kinda missed doing that. Been planning an NFT “thoughts” type of article, as I can see that affecting us all in the long run.. but that can wait. Cant see that kicking off really till the Etherium transaction costs come down via the 2.0 update.. and I`ve thoughts on why “Major label/official” stems & multitrack sites (with very well known songs on there) wont work, and why thats not a bad thing.. all sorts. Bet you cant wait 🙂

But, as of now, there is something you need to watch. Please find a 30 minute slot in your life, and watch this:

In the video on the Breakdown of Seal`s (classic – is not quite a worthy word to use – lets try Grammy winning) track “Kiss From A Rose” you will hear little clips of the KFAR multitrack, or stems. dunno. But stillll.. really nice to hear some solo`d bits from the song.. and yes, I`m secretly hoping theyll be the bootleg sample pack with “grabbed from you tube” audio clips too..

As a previously confirmed Stems/Seal/Trevor Horn fan I`d hope I kinda get the right to parp up about something like this every now and then, so do bear with !!! It`s almost exciting. So the news is Seal is very much “Stem Aware” uh ??!! yay. That`s another one to add to the list. Which, in my humble opinion, artists now really need to be stem aware, because, lets be frank.. their fans already are and no-one likes being behind the curve uh?

But do watch the video, its fun and you`ll probably learn something. there`s worse ways to spend 30 mins.

And when youre done, feel free get in touch with Seal, maybe on my behalf or your own, and ask him very nicely, to please release the stems for Kiss From A Rose “to make the world a better place”. Yeah. That should do it.

Ok, so we know that wont happen,(?) but the point has to be made. I know people want these things.. you know people want these things ..as you ARE the people that want these things !

(go ask). be as much a P.I.T.A towards the artists (and labels-for that matter – ZTT I`m looking at you) as you are towards the guys that wont give you the stems for free by simply asking on a Reddit thread… use that passion/initiative.. point it in the direction of your favourite artist…get it across, S.T.E.M.S (in big letters) and we might have a collective “chance”.

just sayin. tbqh. imo. lol.

And if you`re not already a Seal fan (why not?) I hope that maybe the video will inspire you to go check out more of Seal`s songs. Start with the first 3 albums in the correct order and your good.

Nearly forgot.. a few of Seal`s Multi`s:
