One for the forum? Before going ahead and just setting one up I thought it'd be a good idea to see if there are even any IRC users or anyone thinks they would like to use one?

For those of you unaware of what IRC is, it stands for internet relay chat, and is basically a chat room accessed by an external application, such as mIRC, or X-Chat.

Original post is here Andy Gray did a more 'radio' mix of 'Wall'. Everyone liked it, but we all felt it would be a bit cheeky to sell it as a proper release, cos its not *that* different. But it is different enough that we figured people would want to own it. So we got together with our mates at Music Glue to give it away for free. http://www.musicglue.com/entershikari Enjoy

Your first album Take To The Skies--released on your own Ambush Reality label--debuted at #4 on the U.K. chart, becoming one of the most successful self-released rock albums ever. With your choice of major label offers in the U.K., why did you decide to release it on your own and what did you learn from it? At the time, we didn't really feel like we had a choice--we'd been touring for around two years properly without any press or label interest. We'd done everything along the way ourselves from ...
