So ever-so-gradually over the last couple years I've been picking away on a concept album as I've taught myself to record and mix from the ground up. The result is Toaster at the Bus Stop, a bit of lo-fi psychedelia using numerous field recordings and a lot of cut-and-paste techniques in an attempt to do a kind of "theatre of the mind." I've put it up at https://soundcloud.com/colorcode-1/sets/toaster-at-the-bus-stop-1 if anyone would care to have a listen. I'm particularly curious to hear what people think of the overall mix and master. (Dynamics in particular have been really difficult throughout.) Any thoughts in general, though, would be appreciated. I'm not sure if it fits into any paricular category, but a few influences were The Residents, The Orb, Peaking Lights, Stan Ridgway, and Brian Eno. Overall I'm pretty proud of given my means and knowledge when I started working on it, but could definitely use an unbiased ear. Thanks!

Excellent, thanks guys! Just starting to get it out there, wanted to float it past some unbiased ears first. Sounds like you guys enjoyed it for the reasons I hoped. Much appreciated.

Thanks for the good words. I finalized my tweaks and put it out. It's on Bandcamp now here and out through a friend's label on iTunes, Amazon, etc. Now I'm going to have to teach myself how to find an audience for it. Best regards!
