My Music (Strikes Again)

[AshMcAuliffe]

Digi album has done mighty well which is awesome. I'm dead pleased everyone likes the album so far.

Hey.
So, "Dark City" CD edition has been delayed for a wee while due to health, economic and some rather GRRR reasons.
The printing is finally set to go ahead in mid-late August.
4 bonus tracks are being mastered at present as maybe 1 or 2 will end up on the CD.

[AshMcAuliffe]

Just to let you know, the forthcoming CD version of the "Dark City" record is going to contain 2 bonus tracks. The Digital Version still has the Universal Sickness remix of "Sirius" so i thought it would be nice to add a couple of bonus tracks on the CD.

The tracks are, therefore, titled:

* Outro - Sleep Now
* The Void

So, i'm sure you're getting kind of annoyed at the constant delay of the CD album. Well, there are a variety of reasons which have all led to the delay. Personal health issues, company recession/cost issues, no computer access other than at the local library etc etc.
I'm hoping the CD's will go into print mid-late August. Just a few tweaks are needed but all in all everything is complete.

I want to thank those of you have purchased the Digital version of "Dark City." I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your thoughts and opinions. I'm happy that the response has been firmly positive.
When i went into making this album many people tried to tell me that instrumental albums have no chance of success as no one can relate to the tracks without vocals/lyrics. The tracks speak for themselves. The titles of the tracks aid the imagination of the listener and, hopefully, the "Dark City" concept comes through loud and clear.

It's been an interesting musical adventure but also a very stressful and time consuming project. I have decided to take a wee break from recording any more material. This is due to my current health issues and i really need to focus on getting myself back to full health in order to record another album.

I will tell you, though, that i have been messing with the acoustic guitar once again and the idea of creating an electronic/acoustic album really appeals. Knowing me, however, this is subject to change as my musical tastes evolve.

I really hope you guys will support the CD release of "Dark City" as it is really important to me. I want you to enjoy the full completed package it in its entirety.

Another update coming soon.

Where did my Tatysite friends go?

[dradeel]

Lol, observing now and then, but don't have much to say yet/atm? Hehehe. Sorry, comrade! Have a drink with me! Hehe.

[AshMcAuliffe]

*raises glass of gin* Cheers! What are you drinking?

[dradeel]

I was drinking beer. Hehehe. So I guess "drink" isn't exactly right, but close enough? Alcoholic beverages are alcoholic beverages, after all.

[AshMcAuliffe]

^agreed. Alcohol is alcohol and alcohol is good shiz!
I found a new favourite drink. Malibu, coke and lime! Yum! I was all fuzzy, warm and nicely drunk! :P I want some more.
Had a nice night on Saturday. Adam, I and Kelly had a Dark City night to celebrate. So the album was played, the movie was watched, then the album more. ^^

Really? I've tried Mailbu with coke, and it wasn't very pleasant when I did. Does lime make the whole difference?

Glad you had a good release party night! I should've been there! Hehe. Aaalthough I was having an headache from the night before on saturday and sitting licking my own wounds that night, so would probably have stayed at home anyways

Yup. By squeezing the juice of lime in it makes all the difference. Gone completely off dry Gin now. Sloe Gin can stay though.
"Dark City" night was great and i think you'd have enjoyed it, especially when the alcohol set in. Dancing insanely both inside and outside of the house and annoying the neighbours = good times.
The postmistress is intrigued by all the parcels i've been taking down. She finally plucked up the courage to ask what they were today. Posted the CD's off to various countries so far - Poland, Ireland, Italy, Australia, USA, Germany and Finland as well as within the UK.

Hah! Completely off the dry gin!? What's happening to you? Hehehe. Hmm... if I buy some Malibu I'll try that the next time, but forgive me for saying I still have my doubts.

Hah, dancing isn't really for me. I'd rather smoke my cigar, sip to my drink and watch you guys dance instead

Hahaha, very good! And I'll see if you can't add Norway to that list soon

[AshMcAuliffe]

Totally off dry gin. It gives me terrible headaches now. Just the smell of it. But hey, if it's available i'll still drink it. I haven't had a decent drink in ages what with all the hospital appointments i've had regarding my stomach. That is partly why i'm mega relieved to have the Dark City CD's done and dusted. It's been a worthwhile and fulfilling musical experience. When you're ready know that it will be a great pleasure to post your CD.

A fan (saying 'fan' feels funny!) has used "Sirius" as the soundtrack to his latest skateboarding video. I like!
Thus this becomes the 2nd video featuring a track from "Dark City."
