Wonderful arrangements, perfect sound and for me personally mostly important: spirit, soul and athmosphere! And all that despite this massive output of PeerGynt Lobogris.

I love it!

EDIT: I have to agree to what some others already said: Get yourself a professional band!!! You are worth it! :)

This is definately a very good start. But if these drums are programmed someone messed up :) . It sounds like they have been tapped into the keyboard live mostly without being quantized (or too much "humanized") and are way out of time and lack of groove. Neither there are any dynamics.

I guarantee that the album would sound twice as good with well played real drums.

Beside that, I like the album for the very well played guitar, the songwriting and musical story.
My personal favourite is "Enigma"

Keep it going!

Great compositions! Thank you very much for this album! I'd love to hear that with real Drums and Bass(?) - especially with the synthetic drums I'm missing groove and feeling.

Keep it going!

Very good Demo. This Band has potential. Even though I like the spacious sound I think a tighter sound with less reverb would contribute to the songs. Also, I personally would change the playlist and choose "My friend" as opener.

All in all: Good work, keep it going!

This album definately comes from Stradas heart. Very innovative and unique compositions - athmospheric, story-telling, thought-inserting.
To make it short: I like it! :)

"Herr Mitschele" ist auf der Suche, auf der Suche nach DER Melodie, nach der Hookline, nach dem Mix - und immer wieder findet er sie/ihn. Wie beim Poker spielt er loose agressive, schaut sich viele Flops an und findet oft sein Blatt. Aber die eine oder andere Hand hätte er nicht spielen sollen auch wenn er diese immer mit der Überzeugung das Blatt zu gewinnen spielt. Selbst diese Blätter spielt er ehrlich und aus dem Bauch heraus. Ich würde mich freuen wenn er weniger Blätter spielt, diese aber agressiver. Für den heutigen Pokerabend sehe ich ihn dennoch am Final-Table.

Maf - Beyond The Pouet

Very diversified and progressive arrangements. Well chosen sounds, WONDERFUL LINES, good mix and most important for me: Athmosphere (Energy, Innocence, Forgotten Past). And it rocks! You won't be able to listen to it without bopping around, headbanging, shaking, dancing, or whatever...something will move at last :) This musics energy has a long-term effect!

The opener "Beyond The Pouet" (HARDCOOOOOORE!!!) is my most favourite Track followed by "TNS2-g" (CLASSIC!), "Sync", the "Zz + Z"-Series and really not one Track I skipped.

Fantastic Work! You made my day!

Miguel has an absolutely incredible voice - it's a mixture between a big black mama and Jeff Buckley (who I adore) - very unique! Andi plays the harmonica like he was born in St. Louis and never did anything else before. The Rythm-Section grooves along very well but I have to say that Marcos the drummer should put in some more dynamics. He plays too straight forward.

Over all its a great album but I reccomend you to listen to their live recordings first (Especially "FREAK LOVER"): http://www.killingjazz.com/portal-en/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=17&Itemid=31

Don't get me wrong, the studio recording is not bad at all but such music has to be played live. You should definately record a live album or at least play alltogether in the studio instead of one after the other. Overdubs are not made for this kind of music. Btw. I think the sound of the studio recording is too dry and too sterile.

Keep it going! You rock!
