Rain Drop...

Hello Magic world! A new song is up, and this one is bound to make you feel what I want you to feel. This is my Star song. No, it's no Soular Eclipse, but it's Rain Drop. I assure you, 307%, you'll enjoy it. First, sit back, take your mind off any problems, relax, relax, relax, bring someone you adore, and enjoy this trip into the world of enchanted thoughts.

This is my favorite release yet. To me, Rain Drop is a piece of artwork.

On less important note, Soular Eclipse is bothering me. I've been workin' so hard on it, and ended up with different versions. One is techno/trance, one it dance/trance, and one doesn't belong to any sane catagory. I don't like when I have that many choices,
so I consulted different people for different views...and the response is, sadly, divided among 2 of the 3 versions. I can't be a judge, and none of the members are sure; I got a headache, so I took my mind off Soular Eclipse, and I don't think I'll be workin' on it any time soon until I get a united idea. Soular Eclipse, for now, is as good as dust...

Enjoy...:)

I think DÜke has a thing for storms...

Amidst the storm
Cloud eyes
Rain drops

Jeez... am I the only person to see a theme?

*Waits for DÜke to say :" Its the journey through life, from seeing the storm to being in it, to the effects of it" Or something to that effect*

I can't wait for the cd dukeling, you'll have to notify me when you get one. Or you could just send me all the .mp3's and I'll make one, which ever suits you.

Its kindof odd. It seems shorter than it actually is, I guess that's a good thing. I like the "blooops" in the the background. I also like the way how you hear the singers warming up. This is deep stuff, I won't comment further....

Ok, how do you expect me to reply when you have read my mind, almost word for word?

Yes, "weather" is the theme for the album, because weather is like life...it changes so often, and nobody really knows when a storm might strike; weather is unpredictable...like life. So you can see the metaphorical approach here...

...and...one more thing...

...it's the journey through life, from seeing the storm to being in it, to the effects of it...:)

Oh, and about the copy of the CD, don't worry about it...when it's fully done, I'll send you one, on me. In fact, I think I'll send one to FoR and ErinPuff also...they've been devoted listeners, and that's all I care about...

Of course...by the release of Soular Eclipse (whenever that is) and the second half of the album, I wouldn't be surprised at all if many more people want the CD. ;) I already got 30 or so people wanting it, but they have listened to the previews of all 7 songs...and have gotten a full meaning of the highly metaphorical-ness of each track...

Actually, I'm a devoted listener too. I just haven't commented on any of your work. This is the first one that I've really liked. The others were very promising, but need to be "cleaned up" some.

I think I would like it, and I have tried to be a Devoted Listener for Souler Eclipse, but when it starts, plays three seconds, stops for eight-twenty seconds, then starts back with another three or four seconds, it doesn't sound that great. The ten second snippit on one was good, but it just doesn't work on my computer.

If you get them up in .mp3 format somwhere that I'm a member of(audiogalaxy), I'll definatly download them.

Until then, my comp is too slow.

Chaos Turtle said that some of the tracks need "cleanin'" up, and I agree...when I've got all 7 songs ready, each will be retouched with some additional cleaning and even more effects when needed. And by the way, just for the record, Amidst the Storm and Rain Drop are the only songs that are very close on to what's gonna be on the album. Cloud Eyes is being remade from scratch, and the other unreleased ones are still at work...

Orgg, <laughs> I don't think you have ever tried listening to Soular Eclipse because that track was never released. :) Hmmm...I seriously dunno what's the problem...some people are having trouble accessing the songs, and that annoys me. Oh well...

I'll send you all CDs...I guess...<laughs> The money is not comin' outta my pocket, so I don't care...:D

Some of those vocals were driving me nuts. I knew I heard them from somewhere and then I remember, It's from the Grandia II soundtrack, A Deus by Noriyuki Iwadare. It fits in well with the song.

Yes Nodnarb, I did use Grandia's soundtrack...I actually made the song without the vocals, but then I remembered that game, and those vocals and beautiful they are, so I decided to somehow fit them into the track...I'm very happy with the results.

Can we not donate then? Not that Canadian money will go very far in the U.S, but meh...

...?

Are you attempting to donate money for CDs or something? Heh, there will be no such thing. I really don't like to charge for the shipping, the CDs, the CD cases, or anything else! The whole concept was to give our friends around the world something from us; a gift or something.

If you're a friend, you'll get it for free...and everyone (almost everyone, anyway) in the CPA is a friend of mine...and any friend of mine is a friend of the group. Period.

The "problem" is, I got some people who don't know this concept, and most are willing to pay at least $5. We could make some money, <laughs> but we're stickin' to the concept...

My next song, Final Fantasy (will not be on the album), will BLOW your mind. It's SO "Magic the Gathering." It's like a living dark, liquidy, silverish dream made alive by sound. Heh, whatever that means. It really is a world of dark, gothic fantasies. In fact, to tell you the truth, the song is PG-13. If you're easily disturbed by er*tic thoughts, then it's not for you...I'd call the track "S*xual Suicide," but that's TOO disturbing...:D...

Even for the angelic, innocent lil'ol'me...;)

Apollo, Spidey, you either have an old Player, or a slow connection. Most likely an old Player, because slow connections don't matter much, as I have a 56K, and it works purely for moi.

I'll send you all a CD...but it pisses me off that you can't hear it right now, because I really want to know how you like the music...

Rain Drop, now, is the highest rank track by me. Even my music-master friends are slobberin' a bit over the lush of beauty...haha...

...they haven't heard Final Fantasy yet...<evil, evil, evil grin> :)

I have no sound at work because I have no speakers and the time at home is you know, time in general. Not download time. I just can hardly get on the Net at home (which is why I always do it from work).

Anyone who hasn't listened to this piece yet, I really want you to. I'm gettin' emails, reviews, it's...

<tries to be humble>

#2 on the Lounge charts, #3 on the World charts, #6 on the Ambient charts, and the #13 song over all other songs. Sheesh, yesterday it wasn't on any countdowns!

This one is special because I made it that way, and you really should hear it...

Here's what some reviewers had to say:

"First of all, I agree with ya, this IS a beautiful, beautiful piece of artwork! I don't understand howcome I did'nt see this... AP has some jewels hidden ...like this piece... they are pretty rare and thats why its SO rewarding when we find them...WOW... I'm in awe... I'll shut up, listen.... and enjoy!!! ;) Absolutely wonderfull!!!! Papa Koala"

"to me this was as if i was visiting another world, not really anythingto do wif being alone but thats just me, love the vox in this, that reminded me of a show. the slow beat went well, i really enjoyed this, the harmonic synth in the background sounded really great, definetely a 10 in my book, check out my latest if ya can -- phsycosis"

"You have me totally relaxed. I like the underlying bass. Its not overwhelming at all. This is a great mood enhancer for all. Very mellow. Hope to hear from you soon...@nnex...."

AND MY FAVORITE:

"its got a enigma feel to it but deeper than that
great work!!! ARSON"

I can't BELIEVE he's comparing ME to Enigma. Whow...that made up my day yesterday...he's not even comparing, he's basically saying I'm better! Damn...

There are more, and some emails too...

It's that good, please hear it...:)
