nice new outfit! Looks like I have to work on my Swedish. Although the weekly update might do, too.

I just wanted to thank you for the free EP with your great cover versions (current favourites: Solsbury Hill and The Only Living Boy In New York – maybe because they´re the most familiar to me, but I like all five)! They made my day, week and month.

Two years ago I first heard 1969 and Hacienda (via swedesplease) and have been Montyfied ever since. I am really looking forward to the new album (and hopefully a gig in or near Cologne one day in the not too distant future), since the last year was a bit of a dry spell for me, after I got all your previous stuff from Hybris (those pre-listening mp3s really paid off – thanks for those, too!) in the year before, and suffered a year of cold turkey after that overdose (well, Names Not Forgotten was a welcome relief).

I´m a bit irritated that the world won´t listen, since I had always assumed, that Clocks/Pretender would get much more attention, but it seems theyneed one more go to wake up to you. Since discovering your music I´ve been trying to get my friends in on it, too(http://www.kuenkneipe.de/dschungelfieber.html), but these stubborn sleepyheads (apart from one or two) keep resisting, mumbling stuff about falsetto singing – but I don´t hear them complain when Mr. Mayfield or Mr. Wagner do the same. Clearly they just need more time … Quality will prevail!

So, I´m really glad you kept on making music (still remember being down after reading you considered giving up music for other career options) and can´t wait to hear Skaizerkite. And everything else that follows in its wake.

Good luck, and kind regards,

Patrick
