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. |

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! |

Thanks guys.
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 ). |

^Awesome! Can't wait to hear them!
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.

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

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. |

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. |

Do you use a 5 string bass on one of the songs? I think one of the notes is too deep for a 4 string bass.

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: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=55539&PID=3143926#3143926 |

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.

Hello all:
I've just procured a site on Myspace in order to facilitate more substantial previews of my music. Samples between 1.5 and 3 minutes for each song are available here: http://www.myspace.com/epignosismusic If you are still curious about what Epignosis sounds like, please listen to those samples.

Buy some beer on me, but make sure that you feed your starving family first.

Five words is a challenge! I use a lot of acoustic guitar, organ, and Mellotron. Clean male vocals. It's a good bit like Spock's Beard's V or Echolyn's Mei, if I had to compare it. |

By the way, if you haven't done so, you can click the link in my signature and listen to several minutes worth of previews.
