I have two songs that are near completion that I just can't pull the trigger on yet.
Have been working on both for several weeks.
I keep tweaking but haven't had 4 solid hours where I've had the will to work on them.

In other news, Acid 4.0 and Sound Forge 6.5 came in.
That will offer a welcome distraction that I can use as an excuse not to work on the 2 incomplete songs...

Even though it's more Breakbeat than House (yes, it's another song with a genre that I need to change), Revel (my first song ever) is number 10 on the Chicago House charts. Gotta love it when an old song shows some life!

It looks like someone has been listening to my mediocre Techno too, judging by the chart positions of Zarathustra and Vapours.

And for a guy who can't do Trance (though I've tried), it's refreshing to see a few Trance songs (Snowy Day, Electrogratification, Chill and Savitur) on the charts.

And now for the charts...

Guess it's time to do rankings. First time in a long time.

Fen is doing well. Old ambient song. Features some classical bits along with some Chinese instruments and Latin rhythms (slowed way down). Weird little song.

I should note that Electrogratification is really a techno song.

I guess I should change the catagory on mp3.com...

Electrogratification is number 22 on the Chicago Trance chart and number 94 on the Chicago Electronic chart. This is another surprise, since as far as I know, this song doesn't show up on anyone's radio station...

Someone's listening - with no prompting from me.

Kinda cool.
