And to think that you achieved this feat with antiquated steam-powered software. Just think how much better it would have been with DAW 2.0!

Sorry, couldn't resist a dig at CW Marketing.

Faceless Child is a great song and a great production. This is what the power of music is all about.

Thanks for the compliments! We came in second though... Being nominated was indeed praise enough already but when you get this close... The jury told me that it was a battle between us and the band who won in the end (the others didn't have a chance ;) ). They even had a extra meeting because they couldn't decide who should win! Being almost first sucks more then losing big time, really, haha! It was a fun experience though. ;)

There's nothing wrong with that.  Congrats.  Good job in making them work so hard to decide.  

I promised to post it here as soon as one of the albums was online, well, as of today the 12-track album Laid down my crown is available on iTunes!

To be continued with the 6-track ep Fire and ice!

Yeah, I hear you Jeroen - as the old saying goes .......second place = best loser, and who wants to be known as the "best loser" ?

Still a good acheivement to me though, especially considering the relatively modest equipment used. Congrats to you both.

Thanks! Yes, it was rather funny, I have to say... I have seen a movie of the recording sessions from one of the other nominees: big professional studio, professional gear, professional (session) musicians, well known (over here) musicians helping along, engineers, etc.... and the two of us (well, mainly me, haha) beat all that just with Sonar and a few plugins on a PC on the attic beside the central heater (really!). LOL Which comes to show that in the end it's about the music, not the gear...

I think that about says it all.
