The most challenging track to record during the RPM Challenge this year. I like how a lot of it turned out, but there were so many clashing pieces, that I was pulling my hair out trying to assemble it.
this sounds like a circus and all the clowns are sober and the kids and parents watching the show have had a double dose of Mescaline. Your hard work payed off. This is FNG!!! (FNGreat!)

This is one of the tracks that ties into the theme from my RPM 2009 album [Like A Dark Mirror Keeping Its Secrets].
A fall from grace. Every up has its down. Every down has its up. There's definitely a "ying and yang" thing at work here.

This was one of the unnamed tracks that I recorded, forgot about, and rediscovered later in the month.

Sprachgeist is a German term meaning the "spirit of language".

Full name is "The Morphing Architecture Of The New England Vatican". This is another RPM 2010 track.
I have weird dreams where your average New England city is juxtaposed with some holy Old World locale. The music and lyrics arose from that…
Toughest thing to mix on the entire album. Synthesizer music for the attention-impaired.
If you don't like the current melody, wait five seconds.
Song name comes from my workplace addiction - I was going through a bag of cough drops weekly…
Yeah - you can tell there is some microtonal hijinx going on here. It's definitely in something other than the Western 12 note even temperament.
While it sounds a little alien, there is an odd charm to it. My brain on some level acknowledges there are harmonic/melodic relationships going on here.
This is a track from the second Luna Trick CD, Hoar Frost Sheen. For the religious among us, it is not an anti-christian song - it simply rails against church crimes and a history of religion-inspired hatred. Let me know what you think. Thanks…
I like the second layer of almost ethereal vocals that kind of do acoustic acrobatics with the left and right channels. It adds another layer to the folk song.
This is really nice stuff - very atmospheric. It reminds me of Tangerine Dream or Jean-Michel Jarre.
(I remember CoolEdit. Great application - without it, we never would have seen Adobe Audition.)
After defeating the Denebians, humans credit their all-knowning Multivac computer for the victory. But inside the computer, what do the humans tasked with feeding information into it do when given unreliable information? The sound of a flipped…
I'm liking what I've heard of this album so far. It has an early Tangerine Dream sort of vibe to it. You couldn't possibly pick a better subject material to base the songs on.
Believe it or not, I was sitting in a hotel room reading Tolkien when I came up with this. Actually, the amazing thing is that I actually remembered enough of it when I got home a week later. Needless to say, this took a lot of time to record…
I like the little time-signature shifts and genre channel-surfing you do here. It's easy to tell that you really enjoyed making this - it shows in the results.
Wow. This album improves greatly from beginning to end - the last few tracks are fantastic. I like how you veer towards more electronica on some tracks, while other tracks have an almost Evanescence sort of vibe to them.
Product of noodling around. Lead guitars are a combo of UAD's Nigel plugin and the Fractal Axe Fx. Clean guitars are the Fractal. The outro guitars are my Princeton Recording amp.
I played the piano's through my midi guitar and Axon. You can…
Lyrics:
I’ll stand above this cliff
And offer up my soul
Would there be an end to pain
To jump in to this hole
Could this be goodbye
If there’s a light below me
Will it set me free
Could I fly today
Is this my only option
Close…

Superb!
Underground new wave folk! Incredibly original. And great vox.
This track is haunted, and I thought that before the chiller vocal began. Very atmospheric and clever!

Wow. Just wow.
I like the layered streamed&strummed guitars here. The two play well off each other. The stereo effects create a sense of space and depth.
The mix sounds absolutely perfect in every way. I am soooooo jealous.

I'm really impressed with the mastering on your RPM 2012 album. It sounds very professional. Every instrument sounds crisp and clear.
I like the genre-blending going on here - it creates a very unique end result.

[ROFL] The dangers of trying to write music during girl scout cookie season. I'm more of a Tagalong fan myself. =)
I'm in shock that this is your RPM Challenge album. The whole thing sounds very professional - the vocals/songwriting/mastering. It's all good.

Love the vocals here -- they have a Celtic-vibe to them.
Nice! I love the synths at the very beginning. I was working on something else on my computer, and they completely grabbed my attention.

I'm digging the high sustained notes in the chorus. (Wow.)
I like how you juxtapose the electronic and more loud rock elements here.
Wow - nice guitaring on this one. (Yes spellcheck - guitaring is a word..)
[Dances about happily] I would love to hear this machine duet with my dishwasher.
This is beautiful. It reminds me of After Forever at their most mellow.
