For those of you who can read Spanish (we haven't effectively translated this yet), here's what wilder gonzales agreda (lima, peru) has to say about our album:
En estos días ha llegado a mis manos el primer álbum de los norteamericanos Colortone Library... es un disco homónimo que se mueve entre las coordenadas de la indietrónica y la música etérea, con algunos toques de experimentación por ahí, pequeños toques en realidad... El disco está bien logrado, bastante sedoso... hoy que lo volví a escuchar sentí que me acurrucaba la música de los Colortone Library... y eso, en mi diccionario, es altamente positivo!!!
La grabación tiene esa calidez de las grabaciones noventeras, tipo Flying Saucer Attack.... aunque, seguramente, los Colortone no hayan usado ese método, pero sí que han sabido lograr el efecto memorable de aquellas grabaciones.... otro detalle es la voz del cantante que es casi mágica tanto como las melodías de los teclados...
Para destacar sobre todo las 2 primeras piezas: son una maravillosa introducción a un disco repleto de canciones que harán volar tu imaginación realmente... el final con "Jazz for Butterflies" es un digno colofón. Altamente recomendable, una grata sorpresa de este 2007 o para esta década. Bien por ellos, y de paso por nosotros tmb que podemos acceder a estas sensaciones, justo como si el "Summer of Love" fuera infinito.... :)
June 14, 2007: "...Colortone Library's debut full-length deserves way more attention in these parts....[it] taps into post-rock, indie-pop, and trance to produce a veritable aurora of washed-out melodies and blip-riddled whispers..."

I work with "INHELIX" the Indefinite Healthy Life Extension cause.
Science knows how to get us to live on and on, past the time aging usually kills us. We can live indefinently now. We just have to make it happen.
This is so important that Im beside myself trying to figure out how to get through to people.
The cause has been on Colbert, 60 minutes, Barbara Walters Special etc.. but it needs more awareness now, time is of the essence. We can end aging in our life times.
Heres one project we are trying to win money for it at. Please nominate this box. It takes less than 5 minutes. Its an excellent way to show a little support that could go a long long ways for the most important and monumental cause in the history of humanity.
"Unconventional is a wonderful story full of heart, humor, and what it means to truly be successful. An A+ novel for the keeper shelf. " - Gemma Halliday, award-winning author
