A train leaves the station at 5:30pm in the afternoon. It arrives at its destination at 5:45pm. This seems impossible when the track was anything but straight, but its destination was only an illusion and the real point of awareness was in this moment. We need a different vehichle. One that would allow us to fly and deliver a message through the air, through the sound waves. This message would take the form of music, and the few that heard it would understand something they didn't before. Whether about themselves, their surroundings, or the intangible laws that govern day to day life, the words would be spread and the connections between people would grow. Music would be the new society!

Hey Ryan thanks for the friendship and sharing some really nice music!
I wanted to thank you for the tips on recording gear, I'm really not much on the mastering stages...I try to master as I go along and then tweak at the end.
I'm really impressed with your tracks. The overall feel reminds me of Zeppelin's acoustic work on III and Physical Graffiti (Bron-Y-Aur), dark eerie and delicate melodies. Aphrodite and To Be Happy are fantastic tracks as an example of that feel, though I think my favorite track might be The Colors of the Sky, which reminds me more of Wall era Floyd (can't complain about that).
Anyway, keep up the great work and if I ever get a record company to actually cough up some cash for a "finished product", I might ask for your help on mastering.
Maryam played me the CD last night and I really liked it!! My favorite ones were Dangerous, Detoxing, and Pokin U. I thought your guitar on Detoxing was awesome. I listened to your songs too. You're really talented. The first one (Aphrodite) made me sad b/c I can hear a lot of pain in that song. But it's brilliant. My second favorite is To Be Happy.
Its one of those kind of songs-melodic structures that grows on you slowly. Hey some body out there REALLY likes "there are songs"... it suddenly recieved more hits.
