I don't remember what song I was thinking of, but it has a short repetition of E then B. At least thats what I think the notes are.

Perceptive ears, my friend (and my guess is you are talking about the long bass note in "A Pearl in a Field" just before the guitar theme???).

I used a Spector 5-string bass on the first two songs.  The other three feature the Fender Geddy Lee jazz bass.

A complete list of my equipment can be seen here:

Honestly, I've always wanted to go there.  Not sure why- maybe it's the thought of being much closer to the south pole.

I've never been on an airplane, by the way.  Embarrassed

I hope this doesn't sound too pushy, but honestly this music is so good, I could see your putting a live band together and taking this music on the road! Have you tried to get your music professionally distributed? Even an indie label would be a good idea. I'm sure they would sign you up, man.


Thoughts of taking this to the stage has crossed my mind, sure.  The trouble (at least where I am living) is finding people who would be willing and committed to playing my music.  It's hard enough keeping together a weekend, bar-based cover band here...I know- I've dealt with people so flaky they should work for Kellogg's (okay, bad joke).

As of right now, I'm just enjoying things as they are.  If a label picks me up down the road, I'll evaluate the situation then.  As for now, I'm just happy to have this music out there.

But I sure could use a mansion and a private jet.  Cool

Either that, or seriously look into CDBaby Rob - looks like you can get some excellent distribution that way.

Thanks guys.  EmbarrassedSmile

I'm genuinely glad you enjoy the music- it pleases me to no end.  I actually have about five other albums "in the works," mostly just from songs I've started over the years.  If it's not too ambitious, I'd like to put out two a year (but we'll just see how that goes LOL).

ClapClapClapClapClap Excellent album Robert!!! You're a great composer and player! Unbelievable really.

My fave track is A Pearl In a Field, the climax in there is simply outstanding, LOVE it.
And my fave guitar solo is in An Everlasting Kingdom, simply beautiful.

Those 4 years of hard work, have finally made justice my friend!Thumbs Up

The music is amazing. I absolutely love it. I am probably going to be listening to this for a while! I can't believe you did this on your own! I wish I could do that, and make up such cool riffs and wow.

I'll need another listen to catch the lyrics.

If only I had money to listen to it...I might be getting a job soon, so it may come to pass. Hopefully.

I'm very impressed, bro.
 
You just had to release this now that I'm getting MY musical project underway. Talk about a hard act to follow. *gulp!* Wink


Noticed you had a page on the same website, and so I visited your myspace and listened to that demo you have there.

I have to say, the feeling is mutual.  I couldn't help but focus on that great acoustic guitar (and my wife loved the drums, for what that's worth).
 
Wow. Really? Embarrassed That means a lot coming from you, man. I can only hope that my project will evolve into something worthy of your praise.
 
P.S. I just got through listening to the whole thing, and I must say, it is quite fantastic! I really enjoyed how the songs flowed, and I was never bored. Very good songwriting, my friend. And yes, I could hear a Squire-ish type of trebly bass sound here and there. Really cool! Clap
 
So, when is your album getting added to the 'chives, then? I need to review it now!


Thanks, Micah.  I really appreciate your gracious comments.  I also look forward to hearing what you're working on.

I handed off the tracks to Ivan for his team to evaluate, and if they say no, maybe I can get it put in eclectic.
