Trick or treat! i'm giving out my album

[holden]

Hello to you!

It’s late on Halloween night in Houston. I’m manning the door, tossing wrapped sugar tricky treasures into the plastic banks of Incredibles and Angels and Dogboys.
Here’s a similarly sweet treat for you all. I hope it sticks.

Every half-year or so since 2002, I finish another long-player, a cathartic journey of where my head was and what I’d learned. It’s catharsis through creation, and as I haven’t the time for the oil paints or chisels these days, the computer and guitars will have to do. This latest album was finished a few months ago. Up until now, maybe a dozen people have heard it. In a few months, it will be superseded by whatever-comes-next, and by then the mistakes in this will be apparent and unforgivable. For the moment, it’s feels good enough that I’d like to share.

Savvy Underworld fans might recognize the opening track title and the similarity of bassline to a certain jumbo-sized track. But with the second cut, a 24-minute, five-part journey, and the rest of the record, I hope that my own sound comes through. I chucked some album art in your sack as well. This really was a labor of love to make. I hope it connects with you on some level. If not, it only cost you a little time and the effort of dragging the folder to the recycle bin with the leftover candy.


Happy Halloween!
Holden

Nice one Holden. Grabbing it now.

Sounding really good so far (partway into track 3), well worth the download!

You might want to fix your ID3 tags and recpack though, apart from tetris keyring it's all showing up in iTunes as "track 2" by " " and so on.

Cool man, gonna give this a listen soon.

Thanks! Glad you're enjoying it.
Yeah, good spot on the id tags...sorry about that! I basicaly just ripped a CD copy and uploaded it spur of the moment, which also explains the less-than-stellar 128 kbs format. Basically i was just in the mood to share and it gave me something to do while the kids were ringing the doorbell every few seconds for Halloween candy

Hope some folks like what they hear. But please also tell me what parts don't work for you. Constructive feedback is important to improving my lil musical hobby

I still have one of your earlier albums, and i still like it, so thanks for this! I'l downloading now.
