Something is messed up with the links to 'Understanding The Breakdown Of God' and 'Simple Nonlinear Melancholic Swirl' on mp3.com.
I'll post again when the links are corrected. It's something on mp3.com. The songs worked, now they're showing as incomplete...
Go figure.

Understanding The Breakdown Of God, a trip hop song, and Simple Nonlinear Melancholic Swirl, an ambient tune, have been uploaded to my mp3 site. Enjoy.

Other weird things that happen when you're promoting yourself on the 'net - people link to your music and you have no idea why. Well, I guess presumably the like it, but I don't recall asking this site to do it - not that I mind...
Check out Entranced, and you'll find 4 songs from my Glacial CD at around the 191-194 ranking. I found this site when I did a search for "DREAMDAZE" on yahoo. I notice there's a lot of big name mp3's on this site as well. I'm glad of the company...

While I was away, someone picked up 4 of my CDs. To whomever that was, thank you for your support. Also, if you are a DJ, feel free to play the hell out of them live - and be sure to mention my name ;)

So I'm back at home after 10 days on the road.
I gotta tell you it's good to be back.
It's time to load up some new songs (coming soon) and get back to reporting about what's going on.
Highlights...
Frost is number 20 on the Chicago Electronic chart, number 1 on the Chicago Ambient chart, and number 180 on the USA Ambient chart - that's a come from nowhere occurance. Looks like I should load that one up to raw42.
The Monkey's Arm finishes out the Chicago Electronic chart at number 100.

I've got to tell you that travelling for business stinks - especially when it eats up every waking hour. But I guess that's why I get a paycheck!
Anyhow, I'm in a hotel with a crap dial up internet connection which is extremely bad for uploading music - mp3's kinda choke at 28.8.
On the other hand at O'Hare I started a new song and I just completed it this evening. However it won't be uploaded until I return to civilization on Monday.

Bansuri Summer Sturm und Drang has been accepted to be published by raw42. So they've accepted about 22 minutes of my music which means if I was following the Moby plan I'd have a 1/3 of a CD done and ready to be licensed...

Shaku Shake was rejected by raw42 today.
The review follows:
"Felt like this track too closely resembled Enigma or Deep Forest in some of the instrumentation and while the music wasnt poor by any means, it did have an overall new age, mellow sound. Well executed but lacked in originality."
I'm taking this one as a compliment since I've never even heard of Enigma or Deep Forest - or heard any of their songs. Since I've never heard of these bands (or their music) then (to me at least) it is original. What's more, if these groups hadn't done it before, the music would be worthy of a record contract!
However, it doesn't change the fact that the song was rejected. I still have 5 songs in the queue there awaiting review. We'll see how those go.

Long time since I've updated the site. Work has been kicking my butt...
Will be on the road for an entire week starting Friday. Will have my laptop with me though and will try to finish up a few songs and get them uploaded.
It all depends on my net connection on the road though...
