    has passed us by.

    Greg Long has recently completed a remix for The Cranes track
    “Submarine” from their recent album release “Future Songs” This remix
    will be available on a 5 track CD via Shadow Records in the near future.
    We’ll keep this news posted on the site as soon as we receive a release
    date.

    The new Shadow Records compilation “Dub Life” is to be released on the
    26th of this month. This CD is a continuous mix of modern Dub mixed by
    Shawn Francis. Greg Long’s remix of Saru’s “Something Stronger” opens up
    the CD and moves onward into deep and dubby journey. Though I’ve not
    heard the CD in it’s entirety, the ones who have are speaking quite
    highly of this compilation, so it looks to be a strong release. Includes
    Baby Mammoth’s remix of Greg Long’s “Nostalgic Lament” as well as the
    unreleased track by Greg “Mellon Collie Dub”. All clips can be heard on
    Amazon.com.

    As some of you know, Greg has wrapped up his debut album “Balance” which
    is due out in Apiril. We’ve added clips of all tracks from the album for
    those interested in getting a feel of this beautiful piece of work.

    All this and more can be found under the current event section at

    Happy Valentines Day from Greg and I
