My name is Sebastian Schleicher and I wanted to ask you for an introduction to my recently released album. It is called: "Theories in the Absence of Definition" and is a compilation of songs that has been going on for many years.
The whole work was arranged, recorded, mixed and produced by myself. All instruments as well as the vocals are from my pen. But for drums, keys and bass I was able to gain great amplification and finally make it what it has become.
I can also send you a CD as a thank you, but I have also attached a Bandcamp link. I hope that the information is sufficient and I will hear from you.

I always knew that they needed a special place and should be released in their own light.
The title of the CD "Theories In The Absence Of Definition" carries the name of one of the pieces and thus also forms the heart of this CD. For me it is also the most important piece, because I personally connect it strongly with my father.

In the later line-up with Chris Herb on touch guitar and Tom Johansen on vocals some changes were made which finally resulted in the basis of this final version. Basically it's a big piece of work, which consists of three parts and thus connects two single songs by a longer solo stretch.
The second song from the "Beside" period is "Find Me". It... more
