Thanks for tagging me! :smiley:

Empty Silence of Our Hearts - I think this is really beautiful :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: and probably my favourite on the album…

Final Awakening - This feels very LP Living Things and Final Fantasy in that the music almost tells its own story…

Dying Star # Total Eclipse - Yes! Some rock :metal: ! Both very natural to listen to and not at all over done (which is easily done with rock). This chilled-rock vibe is just begging for lyrics (especially TE where you can almost hear them before the end which becomes a bit synthetic).

Outside - Wow, you guys can play instruments so well!!! :grinning: Great video to showcase talent. :+1:

Blink - Is this about Blink 182??? :open_mouth: (just kidding :laughing:). Still, I need to know who the drummer is…! :drum: :metal:

Infinite Universe - Nice rift :guitar: this is soooo short :pensive:

Overall, a really impressive album and you should both feel proud of what you have achieved here. Thanks for sharing this with us all :slightly_smiling_face: :hugs:

Thanks for providing your feedback! :hugs:

Credits to @MenyaNet, that track is all him! Nothing has changed from the first demo that he sent me, because I felt there was nothing I could add to improve it.

I guess that’s because I produced most of it and LP has such a big influence on my sound. :slight_smile:

Thank you!! :blush:

No, but to be honest, I don’t remember why we called it that :joy:. I do remember we were coming up with titles and this one evolved from another title idea. Anyway, open to interpretation I guess :smile:. The drummer is @MenyaNet’s computer as far as I know haha

Thanks! We wanted to keep it a short interlude type of track, since there are already a couple of slow tempo pieces on the EP.

I’m its biggest fan :heart_eyes: :laughing: Loved listening to the album and really pleased it’s worked out so well for you both. I can really hear the LP influence which makes it all the more awesome! Oh and sorry about my large font, I didn’t realise it would do that :confused:

Newsletter? That’s news to me. :joy:

Though, now that you mention it, I do remember signing up for it. I don’t think I ever got any so I figured you just didn’t use the feature and it was a generic feature that was enabled by default from the site provider.

I’m receiving them for every news, so something must be wrong with @the_termin8r newsletter… :scream:

@rickvanmeijel I find them very useful, especially because now I don’t have much time to check the forum or your site,so this way I’m still updated :blush: :grin:
:thinking: For now I don’t have advices… :sweat_smile:

Do I miss anything in not getting them, is there more in them than there is on here?

I’m pretty sure that’s just an algorithm that inserts the username. lol

It’s not a generic feature, I implemented it myself! But that’s not a good sign. Can you try unsubscribing and then subscribing again? To see what it does

Nice to know that it keeps you in check, thanks!

@the_termin8r Same news indeed. Should there be more interest, I could use it to share exclusive content for example. And yes it’s an algorithm, but I choose whether to use it or not. I also try to write more personally than in my main posts.

It says the email is already in use. If I’m not missing anything, I’m not too fussed about it.

:unamused:

Why would I get annoyed for NOT getting duplicate info? It’s like me getting annyoed for not getting tagged here.

Because it’s cool to stay connected and updated with Rick who’s a nice emergent artist :grin:

I read the forum posts though. Redundancy is not a substitute for more content. I’m still very much in the loop. lol

#259

Hahah, really appreciate your comments :hugs:

So basically you couldn’t unsubscribe? What a strange program this is

That’s okay :slight_smile:

I like your emails too. Informative and impersonal. I haven’t had much time to check out anything yet, but I still like getting them. Like @lpfan61 I don’t always get a chance to go through here as much as before, so it’s really useful
