I can't tell you how strange it was to be serving in the Army in a country half way around the world, along a demilitarized zone, and learn that my commander in chief had been shot in my own country. Sure gave me something to think about. Ernest Shukara Walker wrote at 4:48pm John, I am speechless. heard the MLK song. Can find nothing wrong with it. Your music seems to come from a very stable and centered place within you. Rare for a musician, I mean I could go into where I think your influences stem from but that's not important. The song is simple, direct and fun. I like it. keep doing what you do "MADE IT TO THE MOUNTAIN" Written for Martin Luther King by Jon Ben Berger Dedicated to President Obama http://www.ilike.com/artist/JON+BEN+BERGER WISH LIST TO GIVE AMERICANS JOY AT KNOWING SOME TIMES DREAMS TAKE MORE THEN A LIFE TIME BUT IDEAS THAT ARE SOUND AND FAIR CAN BE ACHIEVED...

Atlas Reshaped from Subliminal

Subliminal — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 20:11:37 GMT

At last, I have finished my remix of Anchor's Atlas. Now, it may seem that I am on a roll here, but I started quite some time ago with both Atlas Reshaped and A Comforting Solution. Not that I have been working on both these songs all that time, but still, both were not exactly created overnight. Next up is a serious attempt at completing my version of Blind Date. This one I have been working on when I got stuck with everything else, but now it is time to try and finish it.

4 new (old) songs! from Richard Thomas

Richard Thomas — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 09:00:24 GMT

Hi friends, I've recently added four new songs to my page, relatively old for me but new for this site: Two more or less spontaneous instrumental improvisations (category: humor) and two songs, 'Bushmensong' and 'Mystery to Me'. The latter being based on an improvisation of words, guitar and Groove Agent. The lyrics seemed meaningless at first but in retrospect they reveal some meaning, at least to me. Song art will follow… I hope you like them.

Freedom from Subliminal

Subliminal — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 18:43:42 GMT

I have finished another track for my Orpheus In Hell project. This one features Snowflake's spoken word piece Freedom, which is therefore the title of my song. You can also hear some excellent clarinet playing by Fireproof Babies, which he recorded specifically for this song. The track opens with a flute solo, originally called Still Life, which in its final version was inspired by the Dead Can Dance song Piece For Solo Flute from their splendid live album Toward The Within. I used a stretched and reversed version of my flute solo as an extra layer in the second part of the song.

A Comforting Solution from Subliminal

Subliminal — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 19:24:56 GMT

There is a new remix to be enjoyed. It's called A Comforting Solution and it's a remix of Artie Q's song Belief. I could waste your time by talking at lengths about it, but Artie has said it all here. The only thing I would like to add is that it was Duckett's drum loop which got the creative juices for this remix flowing again. So, thank you Duckett!

BELIEF: NEW REMIX by SUBLIMINAL from arti31023

arti31023 — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 08:16:46 GMT

Yo, Boys & Girls! Well, 'es only gone and done it, ain't he? The Master of the Mind Manipulation, The (un)Scrupulous Subjugator of Subconscious Suggestion, SUBLIMINAL has done a Mind F**k on me and subverted the course of normal remix procedure by eliciting a bunch of vocal samples from me (while I was sleeping!) and produced a fab remix of my song BELIEF, called A COMFORTING SOLUTION ... OR DID HE??? Maybe I sent them of my own free will; you know, asked him to do it in the first place. "Hmm ..." See ...? That's what 'appens when you get involved with a top notch spoon bending psychic like SUBLIMINAL/TRIPLE M/THE MOUSE MANIPULATOR FROM THE LOWLANDS. Anyway, enough of my nonsense, check out A COMFORTING SOLUTION and let him know what you think. Thank you, Michel. Nice!

Real World from The Cedars

The Cedars — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 17:15:34 GMT

Sorry we've been so quiet, a crazy year for us. We've had several emails and messages asking about the Real World recording sessions, the short answer is it hasn't happened yet...

We were scheduled to record in July and that fell through and the next available date is November which we've not had confirmation on yet, so fingers crossed it all works out, you'll be the first to know when it does.

Thanks from us all...
