Indigae

is a band that i'm really good friends with. they're from the same part of connecticut as i am and the play a sort of heavy progressive music, influenced by the likes of king crimson and tool. they're working on getting an album together and right now they have some demos at:
www.myspace.com/indigae

they're working on getting a label now and i'm trying to help them out by spreading the word, so if you could listen and give feedback i would greatly appreciate it.

that would be nice, although sometimes they take a bit of influence from metal, and therefore might be suited to be called prog metal. i guess that's up to you to decide, as you surely know more of these distinctions.

thanks, i'll tell them. if they get a contract do i submit them to the prog-metal team?

Had a quick listen. I'm not much into metal these days, which they definitely are. However, they sound solid enough to get somewhere. Small note: I don't like the singing on Inertia, it doesn't seem to fit the music.


EDIT: completely unrelated, Sean, but if your profile is correct, we share birthdays - even if I'm 15 years older than you are....

Don't misunderstand - I had doubts about putting in the remark about the singing. What's more important is that they should keep trying to get that record deal, they deserve it no matter how I feel about metal a this time.

Persistence is good, also in supporting them.

You are a tasty bit of man, Mr. Sean.

Hello all, I play bass in indigae.  Thank you for the kind words, and constructive criticism.

We live in a place where everything possible is on its ass, and without reaching out for the support of people who still believe in the sanctity of music, as it were, we will remain stagnant.

Thank the Maker for the Internet, and thanks again.
PLEAAAAAAASE TELL PEOPLE ABOUT US!

Hello Bill and Keenan! Welcome here.

As for your vocals Bill: it's very hard to explain what I felt with Inertia, but somehow it feels like the voca lines belong to a completely different song. The rhythm is hacking on and one, and you seem to attempt a different rhythm/melody pattern that doesn't blend with it. That's a great idea, but it doesn't work on this track.
Another thing, that could be more general, is that at the end of some lines you try to sing a bit higher, which has the same effect with your voice as with James LaBrie's - it becomes a sort of 'wail'.

Yet, this is based on one track, and I suggest you don't stop singing. Just try to find a way to blend your vocal lines more with the music - sing a bit lower (don't strain your vocal cords more than you have to). As for anger - only to be applied in 'angry songs'

That explains all the messages from Indig I appearing in Myspace
