Time to clear some things up, and answer some questions; - I don't make music as fast as you think. I've been working on these four demo tracks for nine days. Most of them are eighty percent finished, and when they are done, who knows if they will make the final cut anyway. The full track that I am releasing soon is actually a one and a half minute introduction to the album, to keep you occupied. I'd rather let the music speak for itself rather than my friend's reviews or hype. - The album will be longer than what "Rising Moon" was supposed to be, but there will also be more interludes. Not a whole lot, maybe 2 total and an intro track, so three short tracks, and nine full tracks or something like that. Don't assume there will be twelve total songs on the album though, since it's nowhere near completion anything could change. - This album looks alot similar to A Thousand Suns on paper, and share some similarities, but don't take that idea the wrong away. There will be a track with robotic elements, there will be a track with war-like settings (hint hint; a trench like 1940's battle song with crickets and swamp like ambience in the background), but other than that I see this album it's own thing. It's own journey. It's own voyage (zomgz). Thank you for showing support everybody, you will be presented with the first track soon.
I got an exclusive listen of The Voyage. It was still in the demo stages, but it sounded far off that. The track is a very dreamy track, and its very soothing, making it a very calm track from start to finish. A speech can be heard under the music and it doesn't sound like English, but its got certain effects to it, makes the speech hard to hear clearly but thats the best part, it makes me feel like I am slowly sailing in the ocean, and someone is talking but I'm ignoring him, just focusing on nothing. This is an amazing track, and will be the perfect opening track for this journey.
My friend reviewed four finished tracks I sent him. His spelling was horrible so I had to fix some things. Also the 3rd or 4th song will be released soon. 01. Untitled [2:31] The sampler album begins with echoing noises and digital sound effects. A warm synth pad starts to fade in. Very haunting in the first fourty seconds or so but then the song starts to become joyful and delicate. Soft vocals become present but they are heavily filtered and hard to understand. An odd track to put on an album, since it has dissonant noises and weird screechy robotic sound effects under a smooth melodic instrumental. 02. Untitled [3:57] When this track started, it cut off the last one abruptly. This one begins with a slow electronic piano but then it gradually picks up in speed. You can hear heavy pounding drums and wobble bass. Obviously a dubstep tune. Just like the last song, there are vocals, but they are very unclear and there isn't alot of them. 03. Untitled [3:28] There is a low quality audio clip of people talking and laughing, and you can hear some weird music, reminds me of a World War 2 propoganda type of song. The audio clip starts to studder and glitch up, then it breaks into a heavy hip-hop song. There is alot of rapping in this song, thankfully you understand the vocals this time. Random sound effects like bombs going off and machine guns are present in the background. 04. Untitled [4:11] Dark electronic pads fade in. Very creepy intro, reminds me the first song how it is scary, but it doesn't seem like they would fit together. You hear a robotic voice singing something. There is a sudden stop, and all you can hear are cybernetic sound effects. The electronic music fades back in and you hear a little girl praying the hail mary, but her voice slowly deteriorates and turns into a robotic voice.
Heavy Artillery (Instrumental) [3:28] An old WW2 song, reversed with an occasional gun fire from a machine gun is suddenly cut off by TV noise. Suddenly a techno-sounding hip-hop beat kicks in, the beat continues and then suddenly starts building (the chorus) before dropping back down to the beat again, once again builds up (the chorus). Then the song drops down again, but the man beat in gone and instead replaced by some gun fire, then song then goes back to the beat. The song ends suddenly, gun fire and bombs can be heard before TV noise returns. The song isn't what I expected, but its a great song. I think without the rapping you can find it a little repetitive because around 80% of the song is the same beat, but hey, the beat is really bad-ass. I can imagine driving around the suburbs with the song on full volume, oh man. The gun fire reminds me of Medal of Honor, I like Medal of Honor... 9/10 - With rapping, this song will be the new dope. Serious: While I think listening to the instrumental can bore you a little bit, as the verses and choruses are the same each time the music really makes up for that. An awesome hip-hop, techno-ish beat sounds terrific. A really great hip-hop song, I'd love to heat the full song with rapping. 9/10.
I've updated the review. The second part was the only less-serious part of the review so I only changed that.

Those titles are titles of tracks that are completed. Don't judge the music on the "amount of time put into them", because even though they look like they were rushed, they are not. Soldiers and Heavy Artillery are a combo, While We Wait was a resurrected track from Rising Moon, and the others, I'm not revealing much information yet. Some information I can give you; - This album is halfway complete. - There is one intro and two instrumental interludes. - There will be a loose story to follow. - There will be a huge seven minute track that completely changes the mood of everything. Inspired by various deaths in my life. - The last track on the album is complete, and will be the most unique piece of music on here structurally. - So far it still seems to be 75% Instrumental.
NEW TRACK AVAILABLE I am allowing everyone to get an exclusive listen on the introduction track to this album, Soldiers. The title might not make sense now, but when you listen to the album as a whole you will understand the concept. Soldier - listen here
