Sometimes it's easier to run with the flawed routines we're familiar with than to turn over a new leaf..
Compare to "Firecracker" and "Livewire" from RPM 2010 and 2009 respectively.

Interesting,saw you hit on one of my tunes but hearing this I think you'd find Awakenings and Morning Prayer a better suit.These two songs and I have a few more are unrehearsed unplanned and totally spontanious, from one single improvised session. I know it's rough and primitive however it was picked right out of the cosmos
Format Sea - Part Two
Based on the age-old concept that a person is born anew every seven years. It's technically meant in terms of physiology - you develop all new bones/muscle/fat in a seven year period. I kind of add a spiritual/alien abduction…

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 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 initially had started out as my attempt to do a basic electronica track - I sort of failed miserably at this. (Like most music I program, it ultimately begins to sound like 'not electronica' by the end, for better or worse.)
The re-recording…
I confess I wasn't expecting this -- when you see an album cover, you have a preconceived idea how the music will sound based on it.
This totally surprised me -- I love the strings here and the wind instrument being used.
Welcome to the Beauty and Truth Lab. Describe what you want more than anything else.
The song is part of the soundtrack from my book, "PRONOIA Is the Antidote for Paranoia: How the Whole World Is Conspiring to Shower You with Blessings," which…
I like this one - of all the ones I've heard so far, it really grabs your attention. All the different elements (acoustic guitar and the unusual drums) mesh together well.
The chorus is adapted from "O Death Rock Me Asleep", by Anne Boleyn, while imprisoned in the Tower of London, waiting for her execution.
(Tolar & Savigear 2010)
I'm hearing a mixture of vocal influences - Tracy Bonham, Letters To Cleo, maybe even a little Splashdown.
Overall, this flows nicely - the only thing you may want to do is pull back a little on the open hi-hat in the background.
This is the centrepiece of the album; my self-confessed preferred track to RPM HQ. Powerful vocals by Jen Gibbons and heavy beats supplied by Chris Thomas. The drum track was heavily overdriven to crispen it up and the kick was given a lot of…
I like that harpsichord-esque synth, and the various twists and turns the vocal melody takes.
This album as a whole flows very nicely -- it holds your interest. I haven't gotten bored for a second.
I've gone more acoustic for this piece with bass and guitars courtesy of Jaz Arwand and the lovely, airy sound of Jess Spencer's voice. The song is about empathy or lack thereof.
Interesting -- this is good sleeping ambience, if you want to have really screwy dreams. For some reason, this has me thinking of number stations.
[listening carefully for EVP's]
This album has been all over the place so far -- I like the genre channel-surfing approach you take here.
Is this named after the neuroscientist, by chance? I googled the name on the whim, and that's the only thing that came up.
Part 1 - Hotel & Backstory.
Hotel.
In which Johnny tries to betray Angela, whose suspicions are raised when Jenny calls.
Backstory.
In which we learn about Julia's involvement in the affair.
Lyric -
So Jennifer sits…
This album is very captivating. You definitely wear your influences on your sleeve, but it's a certainly a good shirt.
This is playing like a concept album - is there a theme to all of this? I'm detecting links between the various tracks.
Okay - I'm glad that I'm organizing my comic book collection, and have myself trapped in a corner of my apartment to the point where I can't get to my computer to shut off the Alonetone feed, because I'm hearing some really awesome stuff tonight over multiple genres, including this one with a mellow electronic vibe.

Brilliantly pieced together. Awesome track!
Whoa love how this starts
Cool, great prog rock track, I like extended works.
Wow! Thanks to Tess for pointing this one out. Great piece of work! Mix sounds really good in cans
An 8 minute adventure - just great! Love the traditional folk flavours in your melody.
I always wanted to do something that sounded like this. Sounds awesome!

really dig the textures in this one, nice work.
Cool atmospherics
Neat, interesting in places, love the concept of perpetual change.
What a bloody good mix , i love it
sooo dope love the melody changes
very clever.
Hahaha wicked!!
Some freaky moments
Gentle and soothing, like the odd weird noises too, cool.
Nice off beat feel to this, quite haunting and strange. Like it.
I know that fence. Liking these beckoning beats!
This track does it for me , totally excellent , love the percussion , love everything
Very nicely produced track , dripping with so many tasty sounds , love it

(ROFL) This is great. When the sacred janitor at the edge of time speaks, you better pay attention. =)

Nice. I like how it starts rocking out at about the two minute mark and then again at 2:50. (Sweet guitar solo..)
This one has a nice flow to it. The flute adds another dimension to the sound, with the bass adding depth.
Very relaxing. This has a Peter Vriends sort of feel to it.
Wow. This one has a nice chemistry to it - the whole thing meshes well. I particularly like the vocal buildup around the 4:45 mark until the end.
Oops - if my last comment wasn't expressive enough, I really liked that track.

The vocals here are impressive. They play off the bass and drums well..
I really like this - you create a nice atmosphere here. The bass synth anchors the whole thing down as the higher synths weave a tapestry.
Okay - I like this one. It's catchy. The lyrics are well thought out, and the guitar accompaniment fits it like a glove.

This is really catchy -- I like the groovy bass line and guitar-playing.
That's nice.. It almost makes me want to rush out and get Reaktor. Any chance of a VST version of it someday?
