Welcome to the music forum Snark. Did no one issue you your hip-waders? ...Terrible oversight, I'll get a pair out to you right away.
A bit off topic, sounds like you'd be familiar with Mouth Music? Definitely my favorite Scottish band. I've loved their first two albums,
Puert-A-Beul, and
Mo-Di for years now, and just (a couple of days ago) purchased
Seafaring Man, (2001) to which I am currently hopelessly addicted.
Hopefully you'll turn us all on to a taste of what you're producing soon.
