This remains one of my favourite releases. New Order produced such great singles in their initial period, moving from post-punk to very danceable synthpop. Substance brings them together in one place,

37 years of Substance.

50th anniversary of the UK release of the Dark Side of the Moon!

Today marks the 50th anniversary of the release of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon. To this day, I feel honored to have been a part of such a groundbreaking album. Our goal at the time was to stretch the boundaries of the recording process, and in the process create something magical. And I think many will agree we achieved that goal.
