Sounds awesome - reminds me a bit of ESCM’s Satellite which is one of my all-time favourite BT tracks.</p> <p><a href="http://bt.tumblr.com/post/200693402/every-other-way-well-friends-and-loved">bt</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>::: Every Other Way ::: Well friends and loved ones, here is the moment you’ve been waiting for. After 7,222 views in around 48 hours, you have earned about 3 min of music based on our Twitter contest rules (500 views=12 seconds). I am in a generous mood, and well, since the chorus happens almost 5 minutes into the song, here is 6 minutes of Every Other Way. I must say, there are some huge surprises in this track in the second half. You’ll just have to wait for the album to hear them. Thank you all for the kind words and tweets. What a fun 2 days. Consider this Tumblr my official location for album countdown. More to come…soon. Lots more :) B</p> </blockquote><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/JamesWiltshiresRamblings/~4/0_uOsN6VyX0" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/JamesWiltshiresRamblings/~3/0_uOsN6VyX0/215448323http://blog.jameswiltshire.com/post/215448323Sat, 17 Oct 2009 12:25:00 +0100http://blog.jameswiltshire.com/post/215448323“Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”<br/><br/> - <em>Ralph Waldo Emerson</em><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/JamesWiltshiresRamblings/~4/lJX6_uU1HtQ" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/JamesWiltshiresRamblings/~3/lJX6_uU1HtQ/161578386http://blog.jameswiltshire.com/post/161578386Wed, 12 Aug 2009 23:30:01 +0100http://blog.jameswiltshire.com/post/161578386<img src="http://17.media.tumblr.com/2XL4TZylWoqil8sxWlkW5Lkxo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>How to be happy in business</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/JamesWiltshiresRamblings/~4/pm74mkYb-xs" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/JamesWiltshiresRamblings/~3/pm74mkYb-xs/123865364http://blog.jameswiltshire.com/post/123865364Mon, 15 Jun 2009 10:15:20 +0100http://blog.jameswiltshire.com/post/123865364<img src="http://21.media.tumblr.com/2XL4TZylWm4liykxLMjs7Q0bo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Best Business Plan.
