i really like it! track 4 is killer! thanks a lot for the download.

Thanks man!, really appreciate your kind words.

My favorite is also track 4, even tho im not supposed to say it. :D

Its already an “old” piece of music for us - and several types of progression, on many different fields have occured since this got actually finished, almost 1,5 years ago.. well, that does not decrease to musics value.

Hoping for a lot of downloads - and hopefully positive feedback. Prepared for bad, too - of course. =D

I like this album. A nice blend of synth- and organic instruments. I am guessing the piano is actually being played (and is not synthetic), yes? I look forward to more music.

Ah, sorry - i havent noticed a reply on this topic…

Thanks for the comments, im glad you like it.

And yes, the piano is played freehanded, we have a bad habit of just improvising all the elements live on top of the plain base, which we then modify - jamm some more etc.

We are currently making an album which should be pressed, propably early 2011.

Albums context is going to be a bit more “energetic, and there is tons of different vibes on it, but enought of me talking about something that havent happened yet. I will spam it on here when time is right. ^^

( not sure how easy its gonna be to get hold on that album tho, i think its somewhat around 500 copies being pressed, so - its gonna be somewhat a rare piece, well see if it will get on digistores, still not sure about that )

ive been listening to this album a couple times a week. i really love it.

“dont stare at the sun too long” is still my favorite song to listen to.
