New SAFred Website, and new music

Hi Guys,
Been a while again since I was here last, bit of a recurring theme unfortunately! However some of you may be interested to know I have set up a new Web Site, where hopefully I can regularly release Podcasts of my latest material (with a few choice releases here as well).
I have been based in Germany for the past 5 months, and being without my wife and home comforts the only solace I have is my trusty Macbook Pro, a load of samples, a DX100, and some handy music software, AudioMulch being the application of choice at the moment!
So, with plenty of time in the evenings... the music, or sounds are starting to flow! (Perhaps a little bit on the dark side at the moment, as this is reflecting my overall mood).
Of note also, are the photo's, taken by a colleague, I asked for something a bit pretentious... and well, that's what I got!
Here's the link:

Here's a link to an excerpt here at AS:

Hope you like it
Cheers!
Pete

hi - so sorry to hear that you have to spend some time away from your wife. Are you doing a contract job that required you to move?
About the podcast... a lot of people will just want to download it to listen and do not use an RSS reader nor a Podcasting application unless they use iTunes. Even w/ iTunes, the user will experience the file loading as an embed in the middle of the page - so you have to stay on the page to listen. I suggest adding a normal anchor/link to the file so more people can download and listen. I also see you selected m4a as the file time? Any reason mp3 wasn't used?
I'll download the files and give a listen.
BTW, the photos look great - the lighting is excellent

Hi Pete, hope you're doing well in Germany...
I guess you've found a new job over there?
Awhile ago you posted you were unemployed if I'm not mistaking.....anyway the website looks very nice and I've just become a subscriber to your podcasts....
Keep up the good work!

Hi Guys,
Yes, I had to take this particular job a while back, I was made redundant, and didn't fancy staying out of play for too long... it was the best option on the table at the time. It is bloody hard though being away from my wife, particularly since we were involved in some pretty intensive medical treatment at the time.
Cheers for the feedback Gideon, I will make the music more user friendly... upload some MP3 versions with easy links! I've gotten all carried away with the Mac, getting too indoctrinated into the way of the Apple
Roland, thanks for subscribing, I will try and keep up the good work ;) There may be a lapse or two, as this stuff isn't being over produced, quick and dirty
Cheers,
Pete

Cheers for the feedback fellas
Glenn,
I'm on a budget, so I'll take anything for cheap rent 
Roland
I think Encounter 2 is my favorite as well... though Encounter 07 is shaping up quite nicely ;)
Cheers,
