Album information
The album contains plain trance tracks, but also more dark beats and styles. The tracks on the album is normally made during night time, as this is when creativity flows best, and there is peace all around. The average composing time on each track lies somewhere between 1 week to 2 months. Little or no effects were done in post production, all came out of the original physical instruments. Death to software synths! The album contains also some extended mix versions for some of the tracks, including additional bonus tracks. The bonus section contains some live feed direct from studio, a couple of short mix versions of some of the tracks, and a earlier track that did not make it to the final which is My Name Is Stone. The idea for the name came out of my constant persistency that it WOULD be completed - no matter what happend. I would reach the end, and so I did. No goal - no reward! Commercial Coverage
The track "Survival of the Ninja" entered a live TV-show (Demo-Hjørnet on NRK MPETRE) on Norway's biggest channel NRK sometime in 2001-2002 where it at first play got into the semi-finals. But, during the last final they accendentially chose another track that was on the same CD I sent them; ("Violence Amongst Neighbours Theme") and thus failed to go on. If they had not f*cked up, the "Survival of the Ninja" track could probably be one out of 3, or maybe even win?!. I wasn't actually there when it happend, but found the history of the matter on their own website the next day....by the time it was all gone, slipped away. But it didn't matter as local DJ's were playing this and other from the same album where people seemed quite happy with my music. Thanks, Mr. DJ. Mental! But some years before that I had given up the radio channels and record companies in general, this due to the fact that "my kind" of music was extremely popular those years and almost everybody created such music, so it was hard to get through the needle eye (if any). Album artwork
The idea for the artwork kinda lies in the title. End of the Highway....where the asphalt meets the good old rocky road. The photos was taken by Jarle Bruntveit during his Route66 trip in USA some years ago. I specifically "ordered" him for a long highway and a old dodgy rocky road :-).     The rest of the magic was done in Adobe Photoshop blending them together and enhancing the look of the road to give it a very distant and almost infinite horizon needle eye exit point....    |
