Yeah I'm not sure about the editing either. Though I was more concerned with the mix. Acle didn't mix it apparently, maybe that's something to do with it.

Ashe O'Hara's band Voices From the Fuselage have announced their album Odyssey: The Destroyer of Worlds" is now available for pre-order. This is a must buy for me without even hearing a teaser. Ashe's voice is the bomb.

Jam session between Tesseract's drummer Jay Postones and UK artist Martin Grech: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=h7a84cbELck

Just curious if anyone here is into Grech or familiar with his music? I checked him out last night after reading about him in Prog magazine. His music is amazing -- very Chroma Key and Peter Gabriel-esque. But somehow he only has a few hundred followers on Facebook.

Been digging into their EP they did before Altered States, solid stuff, looking forward to this album for sure.

I was a big fan of his first album when it came out. Second album wasn't as strong, and third one was really quite different, very mellow. Interesting stuff though.

Did you listen to the album yet? It's very impressive stuff. I received my physical copy in the mail yesterday, and I thought it was weird there's not text on the digipak's spine and the band member names aren't even listed in the notes. But the music itself is great. I'm still in the process of digesting it.

lonestar · « **Reply #289 on:** June 24, 2015, 10:38:15 AM »

Yeah, I bought the digital download on the release day. It's a fucking beast man, so damn good. I really think they bring out the true best in Ashe's vocals, so much more than TesseracT did. Great album all around.

OsMosis2259 · « **Reply #290 on:** June 24, 2015, 12:22:35 PM »

I listened to it a few times too and it's really great! I hope these guys get more recognition.

Mebert78 · « **Reply #291 on:** June 24, 2015, 02:52:10 PM »

I'm still listening and digesting -- some of these songs are big-time growers. But damn, it feels so good to have another album with Ashe's voice on it to listen to aside from Altered State. His voice is just so pleasant and touching. I really think he has a bright future ahead of him. He's a great lyricist too.

So happy that he and Daniel are both in great bands. They're both such talented singers.

Pleasantly surprised to come across this on Youtube: The full Scala show on Century Media's official page

Enjoyed it much more than I thought I would from the clips they released beforehand.

I gotta say, "Meterorites" is my favorite song from Ashe's career so far. That song is so incredible. It reminds me of "Exiled."

What do you guys think of the production? At first I thought the vocals were a tad too low in the mix, but now maybe not.

BlackInk · « **Reply #295 on:** June 25, 2015, 11:04:10 AM »

My first impression was actually that the vocals were very loud in the mix.

The first thing that I realized is that they used "Toontrack Ezdrummer Metal Machine" for the drums.
So the drums are either programmed or played on an electronic kit with Toontrack samples.

Nothing wrong with any of that... I own the software so I just immediately noticed it

I like the production a lot. Depending on the mood of the song, Ashe is either upfront or a little low in the mix.

Like you mentioned earlier, it's great to have another album with Ashe... This one should get many repeated listens.

Also, the album cover:

New track released! 'Messenger'.

I need more time to say what I really think, but as for now I like it. It's a single though, which usually end up being my least favorite, so there are probably better tracks to come.

I wasn't sure what to think at first but I'm on my 6th or 7th listen now and it gets better each time.
Really looking forward to the album!

Edit: Just like Altered State, the production is excellent.

Exactly this for me too. Once I wrapped my head around the melodies it got a lot better. Some pretty interesting stuff. And I love hearing Dan in TesseracT again, he is fantastic as always.

Yeah, having heard what the song builds up to, the first half is fine, and it works well to start with a tense and unusual beginning and ramping up to the glorious stuff at the end. Definitely more Altered State than One.

Mebert78 · « **Reply #309 on:** August 04, 2015, 08:46:55 AM »

The song didn't grab me initially, but it's growing on me. I really like it now a lot. I feel like it could fit better in the context of an album though. The production is amazing, as others have said. I noticed a bunch of people who don't like various aspects of the song on YouTube -- particularly the vocal filter. The track also skips at the 2:57 mark, and Acle chimed in on the comments and said it was an error by the guy who created the video. It shouldn't appear on the album. This remains my most-anticpated album of 2015!

Yeah I'm not too keen on that myself. Will probably get used to it though I suppose. Not sure what to make of the song as a whole yet though, only heard it a few times so far and I normally need plenty of listens before I really get a song.

Cool track, but not loving it. The grooves are cool, and the vocals are nice, but something about it just feels... I don't know.. pop-ish? Mostly the chorus. Still good though, but Messenger was better. Maybe repeated listens will make it better, like with Messenger.
