new ocean of fire cd?

well……. hellll yeaaahhh!!!. its been some time already and im so sorry to dissapoint some who are anxiously waiting/ curious about the kind of material that will be in it.

well heres the spoiler… i guess its really unlike "home studio" since its really a band effort and you got everyone in the band pitching in ideas here and there. yup, the homestudio prject was pretty much a solo one with programmed drums etc. the new self titled cd will feature music recorded in a full band live setting.

if youre looking for super shred and ultra prog, i guess this aint really it since the band decided to talke a slightly different instrumental direction. NO WERE NOT GOIN EMO OR POST ROCK since that would be departing from our style too much. yes yes the shred is still there but not to the ecessive amount found in "race with me" etc.

THE PRICE…iss….. rm 15. yupsies its cheap. 15 buckos for 12 tracks. 10 new ones and 2 old bonus stuff from home studio.

WHERE TO GET?..unfortunately this is the tricky part. as of current the band hasnt any plans for distribution just yet so the material will mostly be distributed the "indie" way. in short…by hand, gigs, etc. or u can just drop me an e-mail and ill see to it that ill mail one to ya!.

NEW PLANS? of course we have. in fact were already accumulating songs for our very next project, which will be a 6 song ep featuring the "ultra prog" stuff since weve got many listeners actually asking us whered the prog stuff go!. it didnt really go la, just that at the moment the band and i wanted to try diffrent stuff thats all. no worries, the prog is back as some will tell u, especially those who have attended our gigs.

well…. many many many many many many many thanks to the poeple directly and indirecly involved in getting this cd out or been an encouragement to us or even an inspiratiuon. our gratitude goes to u guys. im glad ive met u all and im glad that youre encouraging us to go on.

WELL JUST TO LET EVERYONE KNOW, its been a blast and i had so much fun this year from getting the cd out to playing so many shows and all. its been one hell of a wild ride. ITS NOT GONNA STOP, more shows are lined up which means more fun time for us all weeeee

well, i believe that the age of recording has taken a twist. my shoutouts also go to all the people who are producing music at home. all the encouragement has to be given to them. its great seeing the scene grow. as for the people who are not doin any plans for recording and getting their stuff out? ,what are u waiting for? its way better and more proactive  than just sitting at home and writing comments on you tube! in fact ill gladly aid u guys if u ever need any help. all for the scene baby. cheers people .

FACTS ABOUT ME AND THE REDNESS

if youre wondering..whats with all the red and me …

red is my favouritest colour and by now most of you friends wouldve guessed ( duh!) so plenty of my stuff are red! anyway heres some other stuff that might be of interest..

1. i have over 14 red shirts… NO I DONT WEAR THE SAME CLOTHES ALL THE TIME as opposed to what some may believe. since more than half my clothes are red…it just seems that i wear the same stuff. also mor ethan half my pants are black and i even have the same pair of my favourite pants.

2. red and black are the band colours for ocean of fire. wearing red an dblack during live shows are just part of the whole uniformed band thing we established during the asian beat competitions. after putting much thought to it, i guess it was a cool idea so we stuck to it.

3. all my electric guitars have some reddish hue - metllic red, wine red, cherry burst, flamed trans red, magenta burst, marroon. u get the picture… yes ive dreamed oif owning other colours too. but at the moment red is that way to go for me.

4. i always have a pair of red and balck stage shoes for shows. over the years many pairs have come and gone. but as always ill make sur ethat the shoelaces are the brightest red i can find.

5. my favourite amplifier is also red. a marshall mg half stack special edition.

6. u can bet that the cd is gonna be red too lol.

7. no i dont have a pair of red socks or underpants….nvm.
