Avionik - Death Be Not Obvious (now available on iTunes and CDbaby)

Well it's been about 1 1/2 years in the making, but it's finally out in the wild - my ninth studio album, Death Be Not Obvious.
 
Death Be Not Obvious is the most intelligent and consistent electronic release I’ve ever created. It manages to maintain the lighter, melodic, analog brilliance of synthpop while at the same time introducing horror fantasy in the form of the darker, pounding-fury industrial elements of EBM. This is an eclectic mix of synthesized, mostly up-beat, frequently all-instrumental tracks, but haunting vocals and virtual combat imagery await on the war-themed and inevitably sad “Soul To Keep”.
 
I've been a Cakewalk/Sonar user since v3 for DOS, so it should be no surprise that the entire album was recorded and mixed in Sonar 8/X1 Expanded using a host of virtual synthesizers, drum modules and FX as well as some old-fashioned hardware (a complete list of gear is on my website). I used ProChannel modules often enough, but augmented with FX from Voxengo and Waves (mostly). Mastering was done using Ozone 5 with my own custom preset (lightly tweaked for each track). Recording hardware includes my M-Audio Profire 2626, and monitoring with S/PDIF linkup to M-Audio's excellent DSM3's.

Thanks for trying, Lynn, but it must be your browser. Both of the links above allow previewing the tracks, and I've verified that they both work.

Lynn, thanks. Yes, it's true that you can only get about a 20 second preview on the iTunes website, and CDbaby, and even Amazon, but you can actually hear 1 1/2 minutes of each song if you install iTunes (and I'm not sure if you need an account to view items in the store). Sorry, that's all they give us.

I have itunes on my computer for my new iPhone4 cell phone , listened to all the tracks as a sample .
Some great songs aimed in the direction of listeners who like living on the dark side .

Good luck with your CD sales !

KEv, thanks for the link.  I listened to a few of your songs, and they sound terrific.  Trent Reznor would be proud.  Don't despair about not getting comments here.  It happens to all of us from time to time.  As long as you keep posting songs here, I'll listen.  And, of course, we all would be interested in hearing what you have to say about our music.  You are a talented writer and musician, and you come up with some very clever song titles.

KEv, best of luck on your CD.  The snippets I reviewed sounded nice.
