Hello fello Cakewalk Sonar-ians. Shane here. I wanted to share this labor of love with all of you. Without Sonar, this record would not be as it is. Its been a hard year for me, but instead of taking it in, I did what I do best: turn it instead into music. Now I intend to share it with you.
 
If you are searching for something electronic, fresh, new, and at the same time completely out of bounds, then Manmademadman- blasting straight out of electronic music's new hotbed Denver- should be filling your thirsty ears and playlists.
 
Now on his third independent record, MM:MM brings you WARPAINT. A tale of loss of love, despair, and resurrection, WARPAINT feels like the long lost follow up to the records of yore, in the style of Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, Radiohead, LCD Soundsystem, IAMX, and AWOLnation if they were smashed in a room and forced to make music at gunpoint.
From the home base:
"If great tribulation leads to even greater art, then this record should be the strongest yet from MANMADEMADMAN, now on his third independently produced album. Rather than being as impersonal as possible (NVIIISIIIBL?), this one is intensely personal, each song a graphic step forward, the yielded output of the painful climb. From music production to lyrical content to engineering, this album was crafted to overcome self-imposed limits. But if it never reaches another person’s ears, it was still worth in the end. If you listen closely, you can almost feel what’s underneath the noise; there’s a calming there somewhere. Modular synthesizers are throttled and clearly pulsing everywhere. The sound doesn't go down gently, its engineered to be in your face. Its not nice. "
 
Yes, you can buy WARPAINT digitally everywhere (iTunes, GooglePlay, bandcamp) but I've allowed free downloads on my soundcloud page, specifically to see how people respond.

I listened to the first two songs on Soundcloud. After reading your brash and egotistical post above I was pleasantly surprised at the music. It's not as far out as you describe. Perhaps not bubblegum-friendly, but accessible. Well sung, well mixed. The all-electronic vibe is not my cup of tea, but the compositions and arrangements are good. Thanks for sharing.

I listened to the first two tunes, great sound with great arrangements and that bass riff in NVIIISIIIBL should be illegal due to excessive awesomeness. Unfortunately it's not clear to me which tunes are originals and which are remixes of other work, can you enlighten me? Thanks for posting!

NVIIISIIIBL is a really good track. The mix could use a little more low end, but it isn't that far off.

very cool - you're obviously a Depeche Mode fan but so am I so that's a good thing

wow.
thanks (and humbled) everyone!
@kevinwal ... all are originals. I remix under a different name.  
 
@larryjones ... THANKS, i didn't know... i'll check the site. I recently changed it over to wordpress (from raw html) which has proven tough for my pea brain to h4ck!! doing everything myself is SO MUCH FUN. (sarcasm)

Since NVIIISIIIBL was mentioned a few times I gave that one a listen - I like it!   All of the synths sound really good, particularly that synth bass (layered?).   Vocals are well done too and for me mixed just right.    I also like those "synth trails" in the end section.    

Not my thing - but pretty cool anyway.

Hello Shane....There's an energy flowing in your soundtracks. Extremely well done !!
 
Cheers,
Kane

Interesting stuff, quite enjoyed NVIIISIIIBL good vocal, nice mix, thanks for sharing.
