Did anyone else purchase the music minus one tracks of Human Hardware?  I got the tracks minus the drums, and it is a lot of fun and also challenging to play along with the tracks.  It really makes you appreciate the amount of details that went into the songs.

Bump.

I had the house to myself today, so I decided to track some drum covers of Your Eyes and Human Hardware.  Through up some mics for kick, snare and overheads and went for it.  Here they are:

You nailed the songs! :metal

Thanks!  I'm hoping to knock out some more when the time allows.

Thought this was really cool, someone did a music track to a drumsolo by Virgil. So if you can't stand 14min solo drumsturbation this might help:

The guy doing these videos is a beast! I asked him to make one with Mangini, hope he finds one he can work with :metal

That's cool! What's funny is that I honestly didn't notice the music was added on the first time I saw it, I genuinely thought it was him playing with the music, I just assumed it was a music collab with some guy named Alastair Taylor.  :lol

Good song.  Not too sure yet about the album overall.  I'm liking the music a lot more than the vocals right now.  The guy just seems to be all over the map and isn't focused on melodies.  Do I dare say he sings out of key sometimes?  Sure sounds that way.

Sala of all the places in Sweden?  :lol

No diss to Sala and congrats to them lol.

Would love to go, it's a bit too far from me but if that's the only date I might go.

This is such a cool part in Paralyzed the way Virgil plays it together with the band:

The more I see Virgil play, the more I'm happy DT didn't take him.

He probably would have been bored.

In my mind i've have a hard time seeing him ever saying yes to a gig like DT but at the same time, in most cases you go where the money is.

What I love about Virgil on this album is how lowkey his drumming actually is. In this song he really plays with the song and not ontop and I love that.

There's been times when I felt Virgil was overplaying a lot on some songs/albums, but he NAILED IT with IceFish :metal :metal :metal

Giving the album a spin again. Such a shame the project kinda just evaporated like that, I really like the album.

What does that mean? Did this project die out already? That would be very disappointing.

They’re releasing a live album this year, so no.

Oh, nevermind then. It had just gotten incredibly quiet from my point of view.

I've recently discovered Icefish and I'm totally speechless!!  :omg:
Stellar musicianship and amazing tunes...and their live videos are unbelievable!
Check the new ones on their Youtube page: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvA0C0q43tVzX7v0ANClS_g/videos

Apparently they were also working on a 2nd album earlier this year. Hope they can get to it sooner tan later.
