 My 3rd indie album (2006)
Genres included: OPM, Hiphop/Rap/Gospel, RnB, Reggae, Alternative, Ska
Featured artists: Jai Garcia, Jab Molino, Fleamarket Froggy,
Bonus Tracks: ETC Graduation, The Crossroads Rasta Mix, Little Abigail's Song
this album, in contrast with the Butterfly Deceptions album, is more upbeat and positive (except for State and Wraith of Numbness). This album also includes my first Konglish (but mostly Korean) song "Suk Je" ("Homework") dedicated to my Korean students in ETC -- this song contained 4 bars of a melody lifted from "Saranghet Na Bwa" by Hyun Do Yun for recall purposes, but it wasnt used with permission so its still subject to change ^^ It also includes "Umarekawaru"("reborn") which contains Japanese lyrics. "The Crossroads (Reggae Version)" is originally by Bonethugs~n~Harmony, i made a reggae rendition of it ^_^ it was again used without the legal shit so i'm not selling it or anything ^_^
Enjoy!

 | "beyond that simple glance" - HA! i remember you made this a duet back in highschool (with joanna i think...?). you made it more rnb this time though as opposed to a ballad. either way, it works. :-)
btw, did u ever release that "gallery of love songs" song in one of ur albums?? i heard it from you're soundclick page, and the piano part and melodies of the song are purdy awesome.
anways, keep up the music bro! ^_^ |
 | yup, thats the same 'beyond that simple glance' me and joanne sang way back in maksci ^_^ i dont know if she heard it yet. i sent her a link but she never replied. i dont like my singin tho, im really more of the rapper ^^ i should get a real singer to sing it ^^ gallery of love songs is gonna be in my Project Loli album ^^ im glad u liked the piano riffs ^^ we should do a collab sometime ^_^ thanks man! |
| cool! yea, i particularly liked that middle part, where it goes instrumental and sets up the climax. good stuff :-)
I'm definitely down for a collaboration!! i'll send you some of my stuff sometime, and maybe we can work on somethin. :-) I just got Sonar 6 on my laptop, but I'm still trying to figure out all the functions. Are u still using FL or have u got ur hands into some 'leet protools rigs..? ^_^ |
| FL Studio 6.0 i think, with a hell lot of VST plugins and Adobe Audition 2.0. sure man, just let me know ^_^ im upgrading big time, was able to get hold of a B1 Beringher condenser mic and a mixer console too, im getting my UMX61 keyboard controller in a few weeks, then im all set^_^ |
