Hey hey… apparently I’m about to be released again. Venezuelan progsters Echoes were kind enough to invite me to contribute some melodies & a vocal performance to a song on their CD. Well it’s all done, it’s called Nature|Existence, and it’s about to come out come out on ProgRock Records.
You can hear it in glorious bit-decimated, dynamics-less myspace-o-vision, and then pre-order the CD from PRR, or buy the download in OGG or FLAC format from Mindawn and have it right now! NOW, I tell you! What black-magic technological madness is this?!
I’m getting a free copy apparently, which will be nice. But if I wasn’t, I’d totally buy one. I might even buy one anyway, I’m crazy and edgy like that.
Not quite this crazy, mind you...
I’m just having a listen again, and I must say I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. I wasn’t so much at the time, it was a fairly twisty time signature and I felt like I was having trouble getting the lyrics to sit, but with the advantage of some perspective (I would estimate that I recorded this close to 2 years ago) I think it’s not too bad. Hurrah!
I’d like to dedicate the adlib at 3:59 to Andy Kuntz of Vanden Plas – a band so self confident that they named themselves after a 19th century coachbuilding company.
This totally says "prog rock" to me.
Sounds awesome Nikolai, fabulous job. They slacked off a bit on the credit side of things though, no mention of you…>:(
Wow, we get a mention on your blog =D
Actually, you recorded this in december last year! But it has been 2 years since I first talked to you about doing something with us (And I really hope you’d like to be up for some more stuff in the future)
…and Aardus: Of course we mention him! I guess you haven’t read the press release =)
