hahaha what a great compliment to start off the new year! thanks man!

the musicians behind adult music will remain largely unknown, that's just the state of the industry and how America views sexuality.

thanks, you too.

thanks man! if the Sun and Earth stay relatively in a constant cycle in their positions, there is only 8 geometrically possible orthogonal points/days in 3-D space, though.

Thanks for checking the music out! Yes, I feel. I've forgotten what mornings are. Because I try to stay awake as long as possible trying to pack meaning into, and always end up way short.

look forward to it, see you spiced it up with some art this year as well.

well it's just another word to use in place of perpendicular if you want to sound exceedingly intelligent. Yeah the feed doesn't seem to be perfect (neither is FaceBook/Twitter/Instagram/YouTubes/MySpace). Perhaps too much activity at one time and notifications might slip through.

oops...accidentally linked to the project file.

Thanks for telling me! And thanks for checking out the tunes!

oh yeah you're right huh. it is true that time moves at the same place anywhere in the universe. Except in our dreams and Master Popo's time compression chamber in DragonBall Z. Thanks for the review!

Well, my routines have been the same as always, yet time seems to be moving at an increasingly increasing rate. I think the repetition, and monotony becomes a blur, which my mind's eye sees through. I only patch together the meaningful moments, thus when I have little, time moves retrospectively fast.

Yeah I saw that!! Phenomenal album, dudes!! Full review:

Not the type of music I'd usually listen to, but it was surprisingly great! The album is full of catchy riffs, uplifting vibes and meaningful lyrics, a beautiful lead singer voice (no homo) that matches the crisp, short, melodic lead guitar bits, complimented nicely by some Cyberdevil hip hop touches, subtle synthetic lines and backing trumpet lines to give the album an interesting ska flair. overall: a fun, well strung out music pieced proportionately over 12 tracks- starting off with a burst of energy, transitioning into a more somber, deep tone, rounding out the album with a more funky feel in the latter tracks, then finishes with a reflective addendum. the tracks were on the short side, yet the album feels complete while I still want to hear more!! (good art does this! didn't get bored once, listened to the album straight through now a few times in a row without interruption). To me, the album definitely has that late 90s feel, reminiscent of those fun teen movies, and bands of that era like early Blink 182, Sum 141, and Green Day before there music became pop saturated garbage. All the music is great quality- well mixed and mastered. Each instrument is crisp, clear and powerful, with the sound being punchy but not over-compressed.

1. Ignition: Great introduction with the great snippet of a punk song EQ'd to play on the radio, followed by a powerful speech regarding one of humankind's greatest accomplishments! The intro certainly ignites the album!

2. Great drums to back the simplistic yet catchy guitar riffs and bassline! Flows greatly from the previous track.

3. Sounds great, once again. A little too similar to the previous track for my tastes, but the brass lines create some nice diversity. I LOVE the guitar solo, short, simple but sweet, with a nice tremolo guitar riff stylistic of the punk/ska genre. Great open sound in the section following the solo, with the background vocals rotating in the stereo with the repeated "this is my heart!" in the forefront. Also ends on a nice note.

4. Great change from the last track! Opens up with a neat groove and interesting, harmonized lead guitar riff. I like the muted clean guitar riffs and groove during the chorus, with well developed horn lines. The lyrics are cool as hell, too cool for school that is. The track overall has nice variety, with the ska-reggae groove in points, and the semi-slapped bassline, and the short intricate harmonized guitar riffs.

5. A mule can be killed by shot in the head! who would have known. A great, extra retro sound preface to Cathode Ray Days.

6. You rock the offbeats nicely here! I like the short instrumental sections, backing vocals, and variation in feel. Nice tapping guitar solo, would perhaps like it to be a 4-8 bars longer, but the continuous changing stream makes the song effective and interesting.

7. Probably my favorite track of the album! That intro is awesome!! Gives a nice contrast from the comparatively more straightforward punk feel. Sick @ss drum groove and spiraling guitar solo that seemingly develops between sections. Some flanger/phaser FX on the lead guitar bits in part may give the texture some additional diversity.

8. Another great groove! The bassline is really cool! I like how you create some space with the bass dominant transitioning. The synth lead was a nice, non-invasive touch to the chorus section. I like the guitar solo against an open, deep rhythm section. However, it feels a little incomplete. Wouldn't hurt the album as whole if there was an extended instrumental section during a track, in my opinion. But overall the song is very well rounded, and the exiting riffage is great as usual.

9-10. hehe, I recognize that voice- it's the Bob Axell! A small, subtle beat with some unexpected 808 percussion in #9 followed appropriately by a crescendoing guitar tone. The rapped lines from you and the Cyberdevil are a great incorporation, especially the way both vocals were intertwined. and the backing sound is catchy and interesting as usual. I especially like backing vocal melody in the chorus, and that drum groove in the post chorus section in the first half.

11. The brass is on point in this song! Harmonizes with the other instruments rather well. And a profound sentiment- success IS not about what you get, but in HOW you get there. Some nice rhythmic vocal buildups to the cool guitar soloing. The driving beat is complimented nicely with the muted guitar riffs.

12. Well the track is good, but personally I didn't care for it as much as the others- just feels on the generic side. But the acoustic, soft nature is a welcome contrast to the rest of the album. I like how you incorporated space, and some lyrical sounding cellos to round out the song. The track ends nicely all the same, with a comforting trumpet tone, and uplifting chord to send the album off.

Full marks here dude!! It's a sweet ass album.

2014/2015 projects, indeed! Well, for whenever inspiration strikes. No pressure.

Oh nice! Electric or acoustic? Nylon or steel stringed? Well everyone is going to develop callouses at first, but blisters are sign that you are playing too hard LOL. It's normally on the fretting hand that people have that problem with though. Well you could develop that callous and use it as a pick (in the sense of achieving the crisper, louder timbre you would get from a pick) like Wes Montgomery did.

Hope your fun continues!

everything's green in Sweden huh. or blue and yellow. seems like a good interjection point for a Middle-Eastern/African immigration joke but I feel it might not be in good taste.

know of any good Afro-wielding American Western movies?? worried I might not be able to fill up all 52 weeks in this project.

S3C 2016-02-25 17:08:25

what about Napoleon Dynamite?? he has an afro and a Mexican friend running for student council.

I just don't want to release tracks that I'm not really happy with!! creativity comes and goes. I've got three grunge tracks in stock, but I want to space them out. One is reserved for a certain week that's not for several months. Jazz waltz ballad, soon. So that covers I was planning on making a latin jam this week but didn't get around to it.

I don't really think the style of guitar is Spanish (to me it's more Japanese in composition), but the piece features a nylon guitar as a lead instrument, which is where you may be getting those Spanish vibes from...is that sick anime btw?? or is it a hentai LOL

S3C 2016-02-26 03:49:15

Cloud Atlas needs to be at the top of your watchlist, though. Yes I had a friend back in the day who use to store marijuana in his afro.

S3C 2016-02-27 10:22:17

Swedes got it right

I'm pretty sure NordicGrounds doesn't have ads! It's more of an American capitalist thing

it was unusual but good, thanks for asking. I mean cucumber don't have any flavor (it was cucumber-blueberry to be precise), so you can't really go wrong. The yogurt was augmented by having a crunchy texture. Would eat again

I didn't make the deadline though, I just missed it!

time to walk to Kungsangen & Back

By interpolating time at quicker frequencies?? Imagine one long whole note, which can be perceptively slower if we can hear the subdivisions. Or a basketball player dodging defenders to take it across the entire court to the hoop in a matter of seconds. Or an in shape runner completing a mile in 5 minutes- like an average song that comes and goes on a playlist, seems like an eternity when you're churning your muscles and focusing on mechanical movement full throttle. Like I implied in a post above, time slows down when your life is filled with events. Contrary to the popular expression, time doesn't fly when you have fun (Well I suppose 'fun' is a bit subjective, but what I really mean here is high energy, engaging, meaningful activity, which usually is enjoyable by extension). But perhaps, since we were having fun, we wish we had more time in retrospect!

Time and space remain objective constraints. However, the limit to which we can recursively divide space and time into smaller and smaller divisions. approaches infinity. Perhaps there is a theoretical limit, due to the laws of physics, where the neuronal cells within our brains can make only so many combinatorial connections, and thus a limit to how many memories our brains can store, how much events we can process per time, how finely we can interpolate life. Computers are getting smaller and faster, but the fundamental building block of a CPU- the transistor, are geometrically approaching that theoretical atomic limit (computer.howstuffworks.com/small-cpu.htm). Our brains however, IMO, are far from reaching that limit. Just watch the movie Inception, which isn't entirely fiction. Seemingly, days, if not weeks can go by during an eight hour hibernation phase.

I think it's consciousness that in the end, holds us back from perceiving time at a slower rate. Being awake, sentient, and conscious is all part of being a higher evolved being. Lower organisms are practically pure mechanical, and are extremely efficient at what they do. All the examples I mentioned above are the result of involuting an activity to the point where it becomes a mechanical, effortless feel. Like riding a bike or learning how to drive. It was difficult at first, took a lot of focus, and conscious strain. Once you master the ability you can turn corners and stop at red lights without even thinking about it, to the point where you could almost literally- in regards to a low conscious state, do it in your sleep. And divert your brain's conscious ability towards something else. Instead of stacking events horizontally on time, they are stacked vertically on top of each other given you more room in the one dimensional horizontal space known as time. More space = higher consciousness = growth as a higher species.

get your tetanus shot yet??
