Heya readers,
I did a song post quite some time ago for the Wheel and the Butterfly, and have thought of a handful more based on characters who I tend to use a lot when I write.
So I finally got around to posting my musical work up on Bandcamp.
Right now, just one album for Trans-Atmosphere: The Cosmic Concert is up. Give a listen if you want.
This is probably going to sound stupid after my previous post or if you've seen my comment history on YouTube, but at least I don't claim to be a "musicologist". And I know my Soundcloud doesn't exactly suggest that I take music seriously, but I probably know it better than somebody with no experience in music at all.
So, I've been seeing a few fellers 'round the sight posting music blogs and the like. I thought, maybe, I'd do the same. Probably will be just a way for me to collate my songs and stuff, despite those very songs being held on my phone, and on my computer, and my laptop, and on several other back-ups...
I don't know how many are still reading this story at the moment, but maybe you noticed that the title of every chapter is actually a song. A song often has a story to tell and I picked these song because their meaning/story adds to the chapter in some way. The problem is, sometimes I used German songs and not everyone here understands German. But for one very important song I searched the world wide web for a translation. The original German title of "Chapter 80 - Restoring The Light, Facing
Has anyone heard of Erutan? They're amazing!
In the previous blog, i briefly mentioned two big influences, that of shadowrun, and the other, music. Music, is and always will be my choice of drug. Most of the love, came well, as a measure of solace. For many folks. A songs a song, and I get it it, even if I don't. Because my senses don't work like most peoples. I've been falsely labelled, misdiagnosed, and a variety of other things on that, but its, again, another topic for another day.

What with it being (at time of writing) one day before Christmas, how about come classical Christmas hymns and carols arranged in heavy metal style by Rob Halford of Judas Priest fame?
Some more of that yummy yummy post-metal/post-rock tasty goodness! Sparowes leans more towards "post-rock" than metal compared with Russian Circles and Pelican. It also shades in to prog-rock territory at times. Still, all in all they are an excellent instrumental band to listen to in the background.
Quite enjoyable to listen to while at work.
Lincoln Durham has an absolutely delicious fusion of blues and southern gothic with healthy helping of punk rhythms and alt-rock beats mixed in. Imagine if you will Brothter Dege mixed in with a grittier version of White Stripes.
He is also an impressive artist to see live (as are most one person bands).
