I took down the link, and am replacing it with this:

www.marshallwatson.net/music/Marshall_Watson_Grey_Gallery_Songs.zip

this is a zip file of the tracks, cleaned up, eqd, compressed, and crossfaded as a gapless album. the sound quality is better...the mistakes sound much cleaner. :)

Redundant if you dled the other link, but at least with this you can skip tracks. it's still continuous if you decide to listen to the whole thing--minus some severe audio bits.

Is this a mix of your tracks or a Dj set by others? In either case, could you maybe post a tracklist please? Gracias!

tracks are as follows:

Sidewall Erosion
Bears in the Grass
Shoelace Polyrhythm
Candid Camera
Stop by Magee

All songs are original and performed real time. I added some eq and compression and separated the tracks out to add trackmarkers.

Thanks, Prof!

Just had a listen, and enjoyed it overall.
At the start, i was a bit surprised by the abrasiveness of some of the samples in "Sidewalk Erosion". But your trademark glitchy beats were there and held interest. "Bears in the Grass" is just excellent! Wonderful, unnerving vibe to it. With "Shoelace Polyrhythm", the wind and scream samples at the start made me wonder if the whole of this set was goingh to be in a slightly creepy vein. But as the beats settle in, and the analog melodies (i keep thinking Orbital "InSides" for these sounds) loop and pitchshift, it's a happier place altogether. Really liked the buzzy beat thatrounds out the track. "Candid Camera" is a slow build. The simple bass drum and one-bar loop were getting a little annoying after a couple minutes, but again, as you add IDM-ish beats and the retro key sounds, the track takes off. The final cut "Stop by Magee" has a great arpeggiated pattern and a renewed tone of optimism. The ending of the set is kind of abrupt, but then, the #1 rule in showbusiness: "Keep them wanting more!"
Cheers for sharing!
