    What's up with Magnetic...

    Well, we have a lot on the go. Firstly, I am going to publish our first two albums to a really cool new site called JAMENDO. You can go here to get a lot of really cool new music and stuff. All the music is free and falls under the creative commons license for distribution. So, that means, you can download the tunes, burn 'em to a disc, and give em to all your friends!!! Music shouldn't be about commerce, thats how I feel. Once I have my profile completed, I will pass on the link.

    I plan to begin remastering the first album and putting together new artwork for both. The first one up on the site should be 'The Desolation Coast', which is a 9 song release. It features the tracks:

    enter
    the desolation coast
    the angle between us (pt. one)
    neurotica
    stillness (for ew)
    the angle between us (pt. two)
    impulse response
    from the magnetic shore
    exit

    This album was recorded between December 2003 and August 2004. It is also far more ambient than the second album.

    Also being posted is [the magnetic north] album. This is the second cd that I have officially released. It contains the following tracks:

    your only truth
    revision
    moving claims
    holes
    on this astral plain
    retrace
    approximately sometimes
    piano #3
    paper dolls
    hearts

    This album began its life sounding even more ambient than the last, but slowly my rawk sensibilities kicked in and took hold of the songs and turned them in to more straight forward tracks.

    Also, I still am working on the new album, 'magnetic II' which should be completed and available soon. It has been a long process, almost a year, but I have learned a lot and I think my sound has been defined somewhat.

    This album is certainly waaaaaaay more rock than the others (i guess it is in the 'post rock' genre, perhaps?) and there is more 'structure' to the tracks. Part of the reason it has taken so long is that once I had decided on the tracklisting (16 of around 25 songs recorded) and begun mixing, I was unsatisfied with some of the sounds. So, I redid almost all the drums, some bass, and add some more stuff to fill them out. Anyway, it is now almost done...final mixing stage...then mastering...then up. 'magnetic II' will see a release by early September.

    Here is the tracklisting (order subject to change):

    31 pt. monitor
    isolation
    unsound
    whitehorse
    discrete
    opportunities
    the economist
    moving claims (alternate version)
    radiotelephone
    golden
    hearts (alternate version)
    discrete II
    may '73
    recession proof
    our revolution

    So, that is it for now

    Welcome

    Welcome to the first post on the 'magnetic' blog! For those of you who don't know, 'magnetic' is my musical project...stay tuned for more!
