Hi folks, for a limited time (until the end of the month) all readers on this site get 30% off our Trip Hazard album if you enter the code progressive when buying the album. This makes it $6.86, £4.19 UK, which ain't bad, I suppose ! ;-) https://brotherhoodofthemachine.bandcamp.com/album/trip-hazard Basically, think "Hawkwind meet Tangerine Dream in a lift". It's psychedelic / prog / kraut rock. The whole album can be previewed on Bandcamp, and we hope you enjoy it. Back to full price at the end of September. Cheers Dave, John and Janne Brotherhood of the Machine  ------------- |

This is excellent, great music wonderfully played, the sax and guitar work so well against the crafty meld of Teutonic influences it brought a cheery smile to my otherwise grumpy face. I seldom recommend music, but go listen to the stream on Bandcamp and judge for yourselves. I love it. http://brotherhoodofthemachine.bandcamp.com/album/trip-hazard" rel="nofollow - brotherhoodofthemachine.bandcamp.com/album/trip-hazard ------------- What? |

I liked it. But I only buy CDs. Don't suppose you have such a thing...

Hi Infocat, unfortunately "not at the moment". If the fan base were bigger, I'd be happy to offer CD's, tapes, vinyl etc, but the problem is that I'd currently have to offer any media other than downloads at high prices, as it's a big financial gamble. I don't want anyone ripped off, not that I'm in this for the money, so future CD's (etc) are contingent on people downloading the current music in the first place. And you can always print off the covers which are included in the download. ;-) "Support your local musician", basically. Oh. You're in Colorado. Not so local, then. ;-)

 PS I do supply artwork on the download, by the way. ;-) Part of the fun of being in a band nowadays is that you get to (figuratively) make all your own dresses. ;-)

I strongly echo these sentiments. Folks with a penchant for early TD, although handed over to the listener as something wholly original, should definitely take a chance with this thing  I am completely smitten by this album. Thanks a bunch Dave!

Have you ever thought about including something like Indian tablas in your sound. Not necessarily played like a Bollywood movie but slow and pensive, maybe with some belching tabla booms from the bass drum - you know the one that has the same effect as a tangible water droplet, if that makes any sorta sense. I don't read music. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |

Funny you should mention that..... I'm just finishing off a track for the next album and doumbeks (basically a Tabla) make an appearance. Will send you a pre production copy when it's done ! ;-) Offer closed now - no takers !!!!! ------------- |

Hi again Dave I played your album last night, must've been 3 in the morning actually. I was out walking, trying to clear my head of a paper I've been toiling with the past couple of weeks. I guess my brain was still cracking numbers... Anyway, it was a wonderful little stroll, and that huge main piece just drifted by me like some bubbling Persian carpet voyage. Just epic. It's a little sad that there has been no takers in your free collaboration thread - I'd love to hear that! PA have tried before with a band called http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=69835" rel="nofollow - Russian Teacakes . I'm not really sure what happened with that.

Really glad you like it ! ;-)  These are the doumbeks I was talking about..... one 12" and one 8". Note the sax stands (got lots of them) and bottle of gin. ;-) Anyway, with any luck these will make an appearance on the next track, David. The problem is that they've got goat skin heads, so those have to be replaced, and my percussion skills are "very average", thank God for recording, eh ? ;-) Actually, now you say "Persian Carpet Voyage", I did a track called "The Golden Voyage to Samarkand" which is on the Bandcamp page. It was based around the music in an old 1994 computer game - "Magic Carpet" by Bullfrog. You've got me thinking, why not do a track called "Magic Carpet Ride" ? - obviously not like the Steppenwolf version....... ;-) ------------- |

PS I am verrrrrry strongly considering building a synthesizers.com modular synth. ------------- |

^ even though it is kit-form I don't expect it would have been easy or straight forward to build. In my experience (I'm an electronics engineer by profession and over the years I have experimented with building various bits of modular synths but never the whole kit and kaboodle), these end up costing as much as a ready-made and never look as good or perform as well. ------------- What? |

Ah yes, I looked a bit more into it and thought, er, no. ;-))))))) Preview of the next album !! On pre-release at the moment but coming out in early 2015, when the stars are aligned...... 20-25 minute "tribal sounding" title track, extended version of "Set the controls for the heart of the sun" and some vintage sounding psychedelia as well. ;-) https://brotherhoodofthemachine.bandcamp.com/album/aurora" rel="nofollow - https://brotherhoodofthemachine.bandcamp.com/album/aurora  ------------- |

Ps Doumbeks (above) have a trip out in this one. It's more tribal percussion based. I think I'd be happier being a shaman or witchdoctor or something. Jump about around a fire with a big drum for three days, have a vision, then a big barbecue. Sounds fine to me. ;-) ------------- |
