Don't want buy anymore CDs??? NO PROBLEM! The 2 Part Invention Album is now available on iTunes, Rhapsody, Napster and other fine digital music retailers. Now you can put the album right onto your iPod with album artwork and everything! Yes, I love technology... .. .. 2 Part Invention is the creation of award winning songwriters and longtime friends Richie Castellano (bassist for the legendary rock group Blue Oyster Cult) and Andy Ascolese. .. .. In late 2003, Richie and Andy began working on the 2 Part Invention album. Their goal was to create a power pop album that reflected their virtuosic playing styles. The songs were heavily influenced by their love of the music of the 1980s, and their admiration of composers like J.S. Bach, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and Brian Wilson. After a few months of writing, revising, and revising again, they were ready to go into the studio. Between the two of them, they were able to cover the vocal, guitar, bass, keyboard and drum parts. They also augmented their sound by enlisting the talents of several guest musicians. Production was a long and slow process on account of perfectionism. The album took 2 years to complete with Richie and Andy handling all of the production and engineering duties. The result is an album containing 16 meticulously crafted songs with lush arrangements and mind blowing production. .. .. Be sure to pick up a copy of Richie Castellano and Andy Ascolese's 2 Part Invention CD and experience it for yourself... .. ..
