First of all, you're viewing the post. Which is nice. Infinitely Close To Nothing is now available via Mediafire and that the title of it may inadvertently be a statement about the artistic merit of said album. I hope otherwise. Finally, new song "Soil" is up on my MySpace. Didn't quite turn out how I wanted it, but it does have a random preacher taken out of context, so that probably redeems it somewhat. |

Needs moar glitch.
I wanna sample some of your songs someday though. Considering how sparse some of your tracks are there's a lot of opportunity for my thick, layered style.

Thanks. I seem to be getting a bit more praise with this stuff, so signs are afoot that I might actually be starting to get this whole music thing.
And so, first we take Manhattan the undisclosed UK city with a university in which I mostly spend time residing in.

I like it = the first one reminds me of old T Power stuff when he was doing loads of acid. The second has a mellower Meat Beat Manifesto vibe. I likey - I sent you a myspace add request. |

Released two new albums, streamable here and here. I've also put made both albums downloadable here and here (incidentally, the albums start off free and after about a dozen downloads start getting pricier), but this is operating under the delusion that they will somehow make money, and at some point I'll probably just make them free through Last.fm, unless I suddenly start raking in the millions. Anyway, yer feedback would be appreciated. |

Adding shameless bumpage and (hopefully) explanatory information.
Anyway, the two albums differ thus: Poverty is largely beatless, and is an attempt at writing canons (i.e. the baroque classical form), hence there's a feel of quiet solitude about it. It gets a bit on the livelier side (more cinematic than aggressive, really), and also more Eastern-tinged, on "Streets".
Opulence was meant to be the "main" release, the big, sprawling album that, whilst not exactly poppier, is perhaps easier to get into. I'm not sure if it is, but it is much broader than Poverty; elements of Chinese rock, gamelan, house, techno, polyrhythmic drumming, metal, rave, trip-hop, tonal serialism and whatever "Made of Night" is are across the album.
The artwork to both is quite simple: in Poverty, the image is a magnified 1p coin, in Opulence it's of a £1 coin.

Sometime this month, and guaranteed by July 3rd, Dunsinane will no longer be on the Internet - every place that sells or streams it will take it down by then. Given the play count on Last.fm it stands to reason that nobody is really gonna care, but just to make absolutely sure that I'm not making any horrible mistake: LISTEN HERETuring Tones, now only audible on Last.fm, will also come down shortly afterwards, leaving Poverty and Opulence as the only remaining Ctrak albums. |
