Default Ok..So I released an album

I remembered on Sunday that last years New Years resolution was that I'd relase at least one album a year from now on..and I hadnt done it..so..I hastily decided to get it together and it went live at 11pm NYE.

I was initially gonna just make it a 14 track offering..but I just though feck it..I'll upload as many tunes as I could before the midnight deadline, to make good on my resolution and just,sure theres no point in just leaving tunes gather dust on my hard drive.

So,I present The Visionary Sounds Of...

http://gazlerock.bandcamp.com/

Thank you for listening and happy new year RPR POSSE!

Dude... 27 songs that's like three albums you could have been covered for the next two years.

its 31!

And I have another 30 tracker ready to go.

From here on out I'm raising my game though.

I'm going hi fi!if it kills me!Well..not hi fi exactly..but I know where its going..

I hope people can get some pleasure from it..and if they do..well they might buy it..its very cheap..and I can invest that money in better sound.If not..thats cool too.

I do it for me..its just what I do.

But the technology is there for me to distribute it..so distribute it I will!

Congratulations !
You should make a judicious best of EP or album and market the hell out of it...
Your songs have serious potential. I will pimp it as much as i can.

also notice the special thanks to Reaper on the 4th line




Proud to be a Reaper User!


PS. sorry for the big picture
Very nice.

Mind you,you've got all these endorsements and God knows what and you need to come in and hijack my little old thread for an album I made with the help of nobody.

That sir...is bad form.Start your own thread.They're free.

And only 9 tracks?Why so stingey?

I'd have 9 tracks recorded in a week .

This is interesting. I take it you consider this album a "lo-fi" or perhaps a "budget" effort?? When I listen to it, I just assume that's the sound you're going for. I think it's fantastic. I assumed you did it on purpose. I was thinking you went to great lengths to get that sound.

And the lesson (it's the same lesson over and over): It's the music, not the gear!!!

1 constructive criticism: Think about releasing smaller efforts. 31 songs is a lot.

Guitar is all Amplitube man...BUT..I have a tube compressor on the front end that I use as a DI...gives it the proper tubey chime..its a TL AUDIO Fat1..You can pick them up cheap..savage on bass too.

I've gone to extreme lentghs to get that sound in fairness..11000 hours of REAPER in 2 years.
I'm only really getting happy with my efforts now.Still a lot to learn though.
My gear is shite and my room is untreated..I have but one microphone and a battered Squire Bass(which totally rocks).Ya gotta work with what ya got though.Anything is possible if you put in the effort.

Yeah..I later regretted putting 31 tracks on there..but I just needed to get them off of my computer..I've flipping loads still..and it was driving me a bit mental.It was originally only gonna be about 15 tunes approx..but I just thought WTF..next release will be normal length..I'm gonna just start releasing a album when I've enough songs and not let them build up.

"You fucked my amp up you prick" Awesome! I'm glad you got his fuzz.

The few songs I heard a very well done. And very cool. The drums are perfect. And your guitar sounds are fantastic. What's the guitar,amp and recording chain?

I'm buying your record but I need to figure out how to upload it to my Droid. I will return.

Just donated to your Volts and Decibels fund.

I found myself listening to your stuff off youtube way more than I expected (I'm sad kind that avoids "proper" songs really) - ones about Satan or intercepted fuzzbox are incredibly earwormy and "I'm in love with an egomaniac" has pretty mindblowing vocal melodies. Everything sounds, I dunno, nimble and effortless, if those are good words.

Thank you very much!

Nimble and effortless..they are excellent words,and pretty accurate to be honest.

I don't think about the harmonies until I press record..I just open my mouth and sing..and they just come out.

That's exactly how I imagine that - this just doesn't sound like something that has been made in pains.

BTW, lyrics sheet would be nice addon for non-native speakers who have hard time to decipher the lyrics when delivery's getting hectic. I think I'm missing some gems, given overall top quality of lyrics-writing and storytelling in there. But I'm not insisting, as gathering the lyrics for all of those might be pain in the ass.

But I'm gonna retype them.Leave it with me.

I'll dropbox them in an little while..I have to nip out for a few mins

I am now the proud owner of my first LDC mic and it is absolutely FANTASTIC!

I'll still have to go easy on the food for a few weeks but its worth it.
I'm dying to record a few tunes!

So thank you from the bottom of my musical heart zeekat and everyone else who's supported me.

Means an awful lot to me.

Also,he was in my car giving me the mic cos it was pissing rain and we were chatting about recording and I played him my new tune Boring Bastards..his mind was blown.But better still,he asked,"What are you using ,Pro Tools?"...HAHAHA!!

I was tempted to rub it in,but I went easy on him.

I fell foul of the classic difficult 25th track syndrome!
