NotDarkYet Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 In this day an age it feels weird to put out an album. There's enough music right? BUT that creative urge is always there. I must admit, I'm proud of this. http://rainbowdangerclub.bandcamp.com/ It's a concept album about two brothers. One flies away to the stars.... to escape the sadness on Earth.
NotDarkYet Posted June 1, 2013 Author Posted June 1, 2013 Make sure to start on song 1, "Once Upon a Time" :-) Not #3 "Human Cannonball"
_LiveFree_ Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 Wow! Cool! So I haven't listened to all of it yet, BUT I CAN'T WAIT! "Once Upon A Time" made me feel like I was a 12 year old boy in 1955 sitting under a tree at dusk staring up at the Milky Way Galaxy dreaming of traveling through space in the year 2013! (or was I the space traveller dreaming of sitting under a tree in 1955?). I don't know, it could be either! [bigsmile] I kept thinking to myself that this was the scaled down mellow arrangement of a great uplifting piece for a 100 piece orchestra. I kept waiting for that huge swell to begin with the strings, iced with the woodwinds, and crescendoed by the brass to a righteous climax! *chills* ....but then I remembered, I was just a 12 y/o boy sitting under a tree in 1955. From a musical standpoint, I love it! It's a wonderfully grounded transparent sound with just the right amount of "electricity" (figurative and literal) to feel aspiring to something greater. Wonderful balance! This is cool stuff! Will be listening to it all this weekend GREAT WORK! [bigsmile][wavehibye] edit: "Right Behind You" I hear crickets!! LOL I'm under the tree at dusk!
thornyd Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 Oh snap!!! I loved "To Where the Stars Begin". That whole arrangement was just so awesome and put a grin on my face Reminded me quite strongly of my favourite band "Muse". I don't think there will ever be enough music. You should feel proud. Thank you for sharing!
Kawlinz Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 Hey I loved your last album Where Maps End, I'll look at this a little later today and kick over a few funds
NotDarkYet Posted June 2, 2013 Author Posted June 2, 2013 Thank you all for the kind words! Even just one good comment makes it all worth it. The whole thing was recorded in my kitchen (even the drums are an electronic set!). The lyrics and melodies took about 2 years to develop. MAN was it hard work. But glad to see it come to fruition.
