New CD by Jogeir Liljedahl

Tue, 23 Sep 2008 00:05:25 +0000

From the website:

A full 9 years after the release of his debut CD, The Wanderer, comes the next highly awaited album from Jogeir Liljedahl.

Aptly titled "Out of Silence", the album is a melodic/electronic music feast from beginning till end, with uplifting melodies, sparkling chords, typical Jogeir style wonderful bass lines, and with additional guitar appearances by Øyvind Vik.

This album also features a guest appearance by Chris Hülsbeck who co-wrote the track "Graveness & Romantics" with Jogeir, and by Fabian del Priore who also took part in co-composing and arranging some of the tracks.

This album is released as a download only album. You can buy the full album in 256-kbps MP3 files, or in Lossless FLAC audio format, in the LynneMusic Download Shop. The purchase also includes full cover artwork (4-page booklet and Inlay tray) complete with plenty of text from Jogeir. This comes as a high resolution printable PDF file, so you can print it on a color printer and make yourself a real cover, if you want to. In his album cover text, Jogeir discusses the story behind each and every track on the album, as well other general ramblings.

8 Bit Weapon's "Confidential 2.0" album is now available

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 11:23:14 +0000

This version of Confidential has even more SID packed tracks than ever before! The album not only has the original 12 songs but now includes 6 additional remixes!

"8-Bit Weapon's trademark SID 'n Drums is here, for those who wish remixes had more of that powerful SID sound, and less faffing about :)

Seth Sternberger is an experienced live performer who's done Las Vegas and London, and is currently being marketed by Nokia: normally his sound is more eclectically 8-bit, but here he's targeted his favourite SIDs and put his imprint on them, to great effect.

The album is available as a digital album in FLAC and MP3 (note the "whole album" download), but 64 limited edition signed and numbered copies in a 5.25" disk sleeve are available too.

Highlights of the album include the trippy "Acidgroove", and the epic Times of Lore main theme which apparently took two weeks just mastering!"-Chris Abbott, C64audio.com

Track Listing:
1. Times of Lore Intro (Remix)
2. Neuromancer Ending (Warhol Edit)
3. M.U.L.E. (Bitblaster Mix)
4. Inspector Gadget (GOGO Mix) *
5. Crazy Comets (Orbital Decay Mix)
6. Chimera (Miles Mix)
7. Spy vs Spy II (Drunk n' Basement Mix)
8. Bards Tale II - Sanctuary Score (Ybarras Mystic Mix)
9. Defender of the Crown (Royalty Remix)
10. Movie Monsters Game (Disco Terror Mix)

Reyn's GrandMix 2008 (1st of three)

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 10:09:56 +0000

Hello remixers and listeners!

In Holland there was this guy in the '80's and '90's called Ben Liebrand, who mixed all the hit songs from that year into a one hour long track. I loved those remixes, and I thought it would be nice to take new tracks from RKO and put them in one big long remix.

I took tracks from the first 4 months of the year and there are now 32 different tracks pressed into this first GrandMix which is 40 minutes long. If I would do all three Grandmixes this year every 4 months (to make the full year) in the end combining them would mean a 2 hour GrandMix 2008! Could be a fun beginning of next year!

I'm gonna broadcast the first remix next Thursday 28th of August at 20:00! Be on time!

And keep on remixing! I need the material! Let's make this a great Remix64 year!!

Cheers,

Reyn.
