There's a lovely sense of endless time in this - it works well with the drone

1 second late lol...really cool!

Man i just can't get enough of this song. Hurdy-gurdy me another time ;)

<3

Thanks for the comments! I've now upped a different mix with a hurdy-gurdy sample.... not exactly what I had in mind, but you get the idea. Let me know if you or someone you know plays a hurdy gurdy, and we'll do it right.

listening to this album ,, I like the blue-mars effect :)

Wow this sounds great! a high hurdy-gurdy would really pop this. but what the heck?? I dont know anyone who plays one....without a great deal of liquor involved.

The guitar is killer! Great great great!

Sweet! good job guys!!!!!

Oh yeah! Waiting for more! Great beats and cool guitar in perfect unison! This is gonna be beautiful, guys! Tess

Great job both of you. This is great nice guitar. Brilliant.

Great tune and guitar , had to fav it.

uh yeah!!! great groove - i had the strong urge to lay along, and may have to later. i like lot's of layers and this has it.

Ohhh, I like what you've done with this! Beautiful string work here. Many thanks!

Wonderful stuff man! Love the percussion

Had to log back in to fav this one. Cant help but think of Lou Reed a little here.

I'm not so sure the tunes selected by Ramen music necessarily reflect the popular vote as demonstrated by Alonetone "most favorited", etc. And it is a thankless job, inherently biased, to make selections for Ramen Music. I don't envy the position of the editors. Alas, that was historically one of the problems that lead to the demise of other record labels... In any case, don't let it work on your head. You have a sizeable fan base and we LOVE what you are producing. Now, return to your studio and get back to work: we are hungry for more!

Amen. It just doesn't always feel like it from our perspective. But thanks for reminding me again.

I'm certain I faved this. That's 2 I have found this morning! Love this track too!

Ohhhhhh Michael!!

Hey thanks for sharing your music! I didn't comment on every track, but I listened to the whole thing as I was working around the house. Nice range of material -- I definitely enjoyed it!

The writing reminds me of classic Elton John -- I really like the blend of instruments on this track.

Love this track!

Wow, great anthemic album closer!! Top notch! Your music is an excellent addition to the alonetone community, thanks for sharing. I hope you will consider uploading your older music too. Peace, Michael

Great album!! All songs are top-notch & radio ready, but this one is my favorite of the batch... reminiscent of some of my favorite Americana tunes. Great hook, great harmonies!

"never quite as perfect as I'd like it to be" yeah, I know exactly what you mean, but this record of yours was a really fun listen. I'm off to check out other new RPM releases, but I'll be back to check out more of your back catalog. Thanks for sharing!

Another fave!!

I've been listening to this album as I've been cleaning up around the house & making lunch. A lot of neat ideas on this album! I like the loud messy bits as much as some of the other directions you go in -- so far, this is one of my favorites.

Very nice, laid back RPM 2013. Such a subtle album, I have the feeling this album will reward repeated listening. Thanks for sharing!

Nice one, Brett! I don't know how you come up with some of this stuff, but don't ever stop!!

Classic Bee!! This one has a smile plastered on my face, for sure. Thanks for sharing this Geas.

Jarrett, this is such an amazingly good record, it's another one of those RPMs that I have a hard time believing it was written and recorded in four weeks. Your songwriting, singing, playing and recording are all at a pro level. I mean, I would not be surprised to hear any one of these tunes on the radio. Just excellent. In fact, I feel awkward about criticizing this record in any way as you are a much more talented musician than I could ever hope to be, but I do have one critique: the only thing I would change is the overall loudness. With the exception of "Echoes of Waves," I had to turn this record way down because the loud parts were actually painful to listen to. Not in a sheer volume sort of way, but in a makes my ears work way too hard sort of way. I'm assuming this is something that happened in the mastering process. It's just that having to turn my listening volume down so low pretty much kills the excellent dynamics you have written into these tunes. I hope you don't take offense at these comments, because I truly am blown away at the talent on display here -- just my 2 cents on how you could actually improve upon something that is already so impressive. Thanks for sharing these songs with us! - Michael

Great album Keith, I really feel your sequencing of the songs created a great build. And this last track proves you don't need to collab to make excellent music (but then, we knew that already).

Just a great vibe, and comes at a perfect time in the course of this album -- a neat little "surprise play" if you will....

This one is just superb, Keith! You really made the most of your RPM with all these first-class collabs!

Yup, still awesome! :-)

I listened to this album last night three or four times in a row... back this morning for more. I admit I am just getting started with checking out all the 2013 RPM entries, but so far this is far and away my favorite. This will be downloaded and burned to disc before the end of the day -- as always, thanks for sharing!!

Boy, I can identify with this one from days gone by.... but while these days are a little less "exciting" I do tend to get where I'm going much quicker. ;-) Great tune JMT, keep 'em coming!

Most excellent, Stu! I'm looking forward to hearing some band tracks... do you have something posted under a different account?

Excellent album, but of course you all know that already! It's hard to imagine anyone writing and recording such a great record in such a short period, but once again you have pulled it off -- I especially liked the second half of the album. This will get many more plays around here!
