Very analog/classy sounding master...said it before, but I love all those sick vintage guitar/synth tones & the crazy twists & turns

Artwork kills too...will this be a pressed CD?

Thanks! They don't sound 'vintage' to me lol -- that's just the way I hear music lol.

This is slated as a digital release/booklet until further notice (ie, if it gets picked up for distribution, that will change, but for now the only hard copies will be for magazine reviews).

No worries, I am not disagreeing! I certainly know my tone is not modern/high gain! A friend of mine said my tone has 'good diction' and I agree.

Oh..cool...well, I hope things go well

Thanks!

Creatively, things are going fantastically well. This album will be done about 3 months ahead of schedule and I have already started writing the prologue/EP to be released next October.

Financially, until last year, I never made ANY money from music, it's always been a labour of love. The first AF album cost $0 to produce and I made enough to cover the session drummer for this album. So, studio upgrades aside, I am only out of pocket for the session singer. If I can recoup those costs I will consider it a raging success lol.

That was very cool - favorite part is the middle (at about the 3:11 mark) - really nice vocal melody and groove. The arrangement was very well done too (must be hard to arrange a long song?) - good flow.

Thanks so much for the kind words! Yes, writing long format music and be challenging, but I like the broader palette it allows.
