[dcb]

My bands new album is out, after so many years of hard work, here it is.

heres what carlos (skinny viking) said about the album (i love it so im gonna quote that ;-) hope you dont mind, carlos, haha!

" its catchy without being dumbed-down, progressive without being self-indulgent or losing groove ... just awesome "

quote away dude! I'm on my 2nd listen through now

I got the album today and I'm listening to it right now.
Although I've only got to listen 3-4 songs so far I would say I agree with Carlos. Great Job!

Btw, I was expecting for the song "exterminating angel" to be in there, how come it isn't? It was a great song.

The download link doesn't work but you can hear it on soundclick, I could post a dropbox link if it's ok with Daniel.


I already threw it in the folder with the rest of the songs of the album as a bonus track .

Hey Danny, so glad to see it finally finished... and to hear it, of course!
All those years definitely paid of, great songwriting, great production (awesome bass sound, loving it!) and all around very cohesive (hope that's the right word).

I definitely want a CD of that. You know, one of those round, physical things you can touch and put on a shelf.

 

[Nuno Filipe]

Really great music. Whole album sounds quite good but I am digging Dervish, awesome song.

 

[ATLA]

its like radio rock with unrestrained technicallity and SOUL. great job man!

 

[dcb]

hope that happens in the nearest future...

Agreed, right now "Dervish" is annoying the hell out of me because I can't get that "I'm spinning" phrase OUT MY GODDAMN HEAD!!!!!!

+1

Beautiful arrangements, catchy stuff with a nice groove and a superb mix. Love it.

awesome, yeah many people seem to dig dervish. its actually one of the few songs thats further away from the whole dali concept, basically describing something ive been suffering from for the last 2 years. started the day i went to a u2 stadium concert (the 360 tour btw...) since that day i have had extreme problems with my balance. constant dizziness.... i couldnt even walk down the street alone... couldnt drive... its gotten better over the years, but its not gone completely and no doctor could tell me what i had. i managed to live with that somehow. you see the world differently after stuff like that. and dervish is about that hardest time in my life.

cheers guys, glad you like the mix. have been working soo hard on that. was all analog, summed with my neumann mixer.
mixed it in my new studio, we checked the mixes on many many system, haha, i almost got crazy and lost focus. but it worked out ok, i guess!

30STM? Just kidding, I have no idea but I would love to know.

The production is in my top 3 ever, srsly. I remember when I first put your album on my playlist in a random mode and was doing some soldering in my guitar electronic. When the SYQEM song (I believe it was 01.AotE) appeard I was like "what the f**k is this, this thing sounds amazing!" and after the song I was like "why the f**k everything now sounds like crap" :Spin: :Spin: :Spin: :Spin: :Spin:

 

[LeSedna]

Dude this sounds ridiculously good ! I love the rock-ish vibe to it, in the song choruses etc. I'll give it a deeper listen when I can

EDIT : and yeah, epic arrangements, must have taken weeks just for the mix itself !
