I don't know if I've mentioned this already, but there will be eight songs, three of which contain music that is a decade old. Glad to see these pieces are finding a home. I have a lot of old material, but of course not all of it ages well. I think these have.
I think this will be a more eclectic symphonic album, and somewhat "darker" than the previous one.

So basically an album with 8 "Riddles in the Dark?" This makes me happy, I like dark music.

Wow dude this is solid! I reallllllly enjoy your shorter solos that come between some parts, especially the flute/possibly keyboard sounding one early on in the title track. Pretty stuff. I'm enjoying your choices of harmonies and strange chords at times. Makes it all sound pretty dreamy. Do you play keys? Some of your keyboard work is righteous.
While I love your harmonies and melodies I think the vocals are a little loud but that's just me- I like quiet vocals haha- This music is surprisingly uplifting as opposed to your avatar picture haha. I'm normally into more hectic confusing music but there are moments of complexity that hit home for me. Some of it was predictable but all in all I enjoyed listening to it. Thanks for sharing!
| I just saw this post- sorry!
The "flute" sound early on in the title track that you hear is a synthesizer that (I think) I ran through a few effects.
I do play keyboards, but my main instrument has always been and always will be guitar. Most of the music I write is on the guitar first (usually the acoustic). The next album is odd for me because several of the songs are piano or organ focused.
Thanks so much for your comments.

The music is damn good and really progressive. Nice effort but I don't really like the vocals. It's a personal taste it doesn't mean the vocals are ungood. I don't like the bass in this album too for I can feel some mistakes with the bass playing wich isn't terrible. Splendid job though! Hope you continue your efforts and bring some good progressive rock to our hears! | Thanks for checking it out!
Unfortunately I had to sell one of my bass guitars to pay bills, and the climate of NC is very different from FL, so that affected the neck of my other bass. However, I don't spend much time practicing bass as I do the other instruments.
I'm working on a third album and three other projects.

Hi, just listening to your Refulgence album. Great, uplifting stuff! (I had to log in just to say this.. guess my previous PA addiction will continue quite soon though I have been reading stuff here like 50x the time you would think according to my number of posts.) Anyways, greetings from Finland!

Great stuff! Just listened to Refulgence and enjoyed it immensely, especially the heavier stuffHow long do you think it will be until you get the remixed/mastered version of Still the Waters up on Bandcamp? | Three of the tracks are done. Two more to go. I was hoping to get them up in January (2 year anniversary!), but I got busy with work, work, and school.

I purchased the 2nd album without a preview, the band name is cool too. I need to get the first album to round out my collection, since I am a completist .
Welcome to the PA.........Mr Skeletor!

It's either a conflict of interest or, as they say in the US, a Baptists and Bootleggers outfit...

Greetings, Epignosis! You're probably still convinced I hate your debut album despite never having said that....

Nice to meet you Epignosis! I hope you can stick around here and meet lots of friends. By the way you will have to ignore this guy who comes here often with your exact avatar and spouts off all sorts of stuff about libertarians, abortion and pretends to play music. He is one to avoid but everyone else you should get on well with!
