About this album

  • Updated: 13/04/2011

This is my seventh album, recorded from 2009-2010.

My favourite track have to be the opening track, "Niall's Song", inspired by a picture I commissioned of one of the demon characters from my webcomic and providing a quick summary of his beliefs (and hobby, as you might call it).  "Demonhunter", the last track, is another of my favourites, taking up once again the theme of someone setting out to fight the demon menace, only to discover that they fall into that demographic themselves.  In all honesty I wondered if it was too similar to 'Daniel LaGrange' on the last album, but I think it turned out well.

"Anathema" - I suspect some  people will figure out the fairly thin references in that song.  "Super Funk Time" was actually written for the DMFA radio series project, but people seemed to like it for its own sake so I included it here.

All tracks were recorded on 8-track tape at 15ips except 1, 2 & 7, which were recorded 16­track using two synced tape machines.

Each album keeps the same feel but becomes slightly more refined than the last, and this is certainly no exception. I strongly recommend at least listening to the last 2 tracks, "Return Ticket To Heaven" and "Demonhunter," though the entire album is pretty amazing. I really wish that it would be possible to see some of this stuff live, but I know that is rather impractical. Just saying, it would be awesome.

And once again we immerse into so well known sounds, that less and less are just 'reverse-engineered Pink Floyd stuff' and more in their own unique style. Once again some of the lyrics and concepts are either form DMFA or Jacob Pettersohn universe, but once again being not familiar with these works do not impair reception.This disk is a bit more 'mainstream' than totally retro experiments in ...and Daryil answered, some instrumental tracks thrown in... But the final song is just beautiful: makes me start to wonder, what if JP ever assembled a band an gave a concert...Yet, overall the sound is a bit crude and the album lacks a concept. Seven stars [+++++++---], and enter to the Album of the Year 2011 competition.
