Genres: Breakbeat, Instrumental Hip-hop, Trip-Hop

Hey guys, it took me a while and there were a few bumps in the road, but I've finally managed to get my site/album up and running. I really think you guys will like this album. Its all instrumental and for the most part about mid-tempo. Some songs relaxing, some with a bit more "umph".

Also, I would be VERY VERY appreciative if you guys helped me out with my discussion forums. I need some help getting discussions and stuff started, so if you can help me out that'd be fantastic. Theres also a board dedicated for others to share their music, so if you have any go there.

I'll make sure to check it out, but my current net has a limit on downloads and such, so I'll have to wait until I get to 'borrow' my friend's internet.

I heard the song you posted on the Rap/Hip-Hop thread and was very intrigued so I'll download the album and definitely will help out on the community.

Downloading now.

Also, do you want your name changed back at some point?

No, he likes this one MUCH better.

And start threads and discuss guys, this is serious business!!!

Dimitrius · « **Reply #5 on:** April 10, 2011, 09:55:08 AM »

I wanted to make a nonsense thread, but there's no forum for that.

Also, I can't help but laugh to The Magician's Sleeve, it's like your making fun of icy!

glaurung · « **Reply #6 on:** April 10, 2011, 10:10:42 AM »

This is some really fantastic stuff.

I've only listened to Midnight in Alaska (the song) so far, and while initially I figured this wouldn't be my style at all and I'd hate it, the melodies came in and it got really, really good. It's very subdued and ethereal. Will definitely listen to the rest.

This is going to be my first trip hop album of any sort.

This needs to change like immediately. Try Massive Attack or Portishead.

Get Massive Attack's Mezzanine now, Matt.

That cover is pretty damn cool.

ariich · « **Reply #13 on:** April 10, 2011, 11:07:59 AM »

I really dig it. Not too much going on, but it's very chilled out, nice vibe. I could definitely see this being good background music while I'm working!

Dr. DTVT · « **Reply #14 on:** April 10, 2011, 11:17:24 AM »

Will check out at some point, but I got a crap load of stuff to do today.

So, did you use samples you had some of record a few years ago?

skydivingninja · « **Reply #15 on:** April 10, 2011, 11:38:31 AM »

Okay this album was really good. I liked it a lot. Perfect studying music as well! In fact, you just won this round of my roulette, congratulations!

MetalManiac666 · « **Reply #16 on:** April 10, 2011, 12:06:23 PM »

Downloaded. Will give it a listen sometime in the near future.

Actually, when I got all those samples, I did have some of them used in a song. However, my laptop had completely died/crashed shortly after and I lost it all unfortunately. So I had pretty much finished 1/2 of the album, lost it completely, and had to start from scratch. So no, I couldnt use them here.

And thanks everyone, I really appreciate all the feedback! NAO GO TELL YOUR FRIENDS AND SPREAD THE WORD!

Soon I'll be working towards getting some radio time on a local station, but im trying to get some sort of foundation first.

LeeHarveyKennedy · « **Reply #18 on:** April 10, 2011, 06:10:43 PM »

Downloading now. That cover, however, is fucking awesome.

*Edit* - Well Snuggly Snookem Puff, you just made sweet love to my ears.

Really good stuff, dude.

Looking forward to listening again when I get a chance.

Artwork is sweet too.

Thanks bro.

Thank you all for the comments. I'm actually really suprised im getting so much positive feedback, I didnt think anyone would like it that much

Dr. DTVT · « **Reply #21 on:** April 10, 2011, 08:09:09 PM »

Will the cover make more sense after I listen to the album? It has a very EoP/Static Impulse vibe.

The images in the cover relate to certain songs, so possibly
