Thanks for the generous comments you left on our songs sir.
Love the vocal effects here, masterful production and really entertaining arrangement, the intro transitioning into the verse was a nice touch.
This one was inspired by Wen's mom; and is therefore dedicated to all those musicians doing RPM, and all musicians who toil away at home to make their music despite what their friends & co-workers might think of their efforts.

"You wanna see talent? Come over to my house and watch my kids play Rock Band."
Hilarious!
I guess I should admit that I occasionally enjoy a bit of Rock Band...
Well, there was this Spectrasonics contest... and songs had to be submitted by June 30th... so we finally started working on this one on the evening of the 29th. Yeah. We procrastinate.
you guys amaze me with your RPM. I'm seriously blown away by this entire album. Each track stands out on its own so well... tapping into different emotions... flirting with different styles... it's an amazing piece and it makes me proud to be a part of alonetone. cheers to Kirk and Wendy... I raise my glass high!
Ahh, this is Vivian Circle length...and as I was commenting on Joshua Wentz' work earlier today, the two of you really know how to make an ALBUM...something that is so rare today. A piece of work/art that is to be consumed from beginning to end and savored. This is one of those albums. I really love that you put this piece last, it caps off a beutiful journey and leaves me wanting more...I think Ill start it up again...
I was listening to this and did not want to turn it down whent he phone rang...the person on the other end said...are you listening to Siouxsie (of the Banshees- and btw this person loves that band) and I said, why no I am listening to Another Cultural Landslide and thier brilliant new record, and I cant stay on the phone..CAUSE I LOVE THIS SONG!!!
Gorgeous....again, this record is so brilliant. I hope that someone dumps a truck full of money on your front lawn...I would take it as a sign from the Muse that you have done good with your beautiful music...truly gifted the two of you are.
I sent the tracks for this tune to a friend of mine who owns a professional studio. I gave him no instructions on how to mix it, as I wanted someone else's take on the music. He created a very dry, intimate mix, focusing more on the acoustic guitars…
She just a panic standin in that ring of fire
Say hey maybe Janet baby ya took it just a little far?
Maybe ya said somethin ya ought to take back?
Said she don't need to be forgiven for nothin
She the one they run into this shot gun shack
And…
what was the reason for that lie
not that she really cares or wants to know why
she just wanted to hear you deny it
n now that she has she goin down to the river quiet
(break)
now i wasn't lookin swear i was turned the other way
when she walked…
skin is a rock track, written and recorded by ourselves. we have a self built studio! where we meet every Friday night to write and record our own slant on rock music.
I composed this waltz for my niece Joana. She started playing piano this year so I just wanted to give her a goal :) I don't expect her to play this in the next years but hopefully she will be able to play it.
The song title translates to Ladybird…
The band had all gone home, and I was left mixing what we had accumulated over the last few months of work on what is to be our "final" album. Things felt over. it seemed like we had reached a saturation point, where we had driven the car as far…
Something I'm working on. I'm a sucker for 5/4 time these days.
The biggest issue is the vocals which are sort of a placeholder right now until I re-write and re-record them, or maybe even find someone who can actually sing to lay something down!
