We are testing bandwidth capabilities and putting up a link to a full download of our 2006 record, Crushing Reality, online NOW

We know that most of you only hear the crap streaming quality that Myspace offers... and we would rather the larger idea be available for everyone.

Hey erock123, thank you for posting this.

I realise it's a little ambitious given my slow telephone connection, but I tried to download crushingreality160 and the Mac stopped at 14.4MB.
Obviously I get an error when I try to unzip the file.

I'll try again, but if it gets truncated I'm afraid I'll have to move on - I'm way behind with important downloads.
Sorry man.

Well, you may or may not be glad to learn that I persisted... and persisted.
The D/L kept "finishing up" early, so I sneaked up on it by copying the D/L file every few MB and resumed whenever it copped out.
Playing track 4 now...
How come track one cuts out after 37 seconds or something?

I've only got my Mac speaker to listen with at the moment, but I'm already quite impressed.
You've shown good imagination, IMHO. I especially like the groove changes.
Well done man - you did good!

EDIT: I also like your use of Arabic and other scales, as well as light and shade.
The recording sounds refreshingly clean and gimmick-free too.
Again, well done man!

thanks, dude; just saw your reply! we recorded with someone who usually does more traditional rock stuff, so it gave it a more classic sound, which i like. we are recording another now, and it will probably sound a little more modern; but i kinda like having some diversity in tone...

I'm so glad you checked in, erock123.

Yes, the lack of hype is evident.
Sorry more folks haven't given 'em a listen or commented.

I still like the stuff. You did good.
