EtherealSL: Thanks man.

As for the vocals, I recorded those tunes more or less as an experiment and never thought it would become popular stuff. I was just trying to apply some concepts I learned about 20th century composing techniques to heavy metal. I may do more similar stuff in the future, probably with more contrast between mellow and heavy, and maybe with a vocalist. Don't know right now, time will tell.

music is like art, it's good to know that other people feel your music even when it's more abstract and open to interpretation

good luck with your music, man

Hiya,

I'm a progressive metal/jazz fusionmetal musician myself on keys and I think your work is great. As myself I found this forum by googling.
I've done both electronic music and metal and there is no way that either of them should be dished, they're both completely different ways of producing.
Jazz metal has its emphasis on the use of a LOT musical theory and improvisation in its music. You dont find any Virus-arpeggiating or anything in there that comes close to trance. Its also mixed in a whole different way, theres less instrumentation.
Trance is more based on step-by-step shaping and theres a lot more time spend on the entire mixing progress, choosing sounds, and everything has to be perfect, where jazz is more spontanous. Simply put, trance is electronic, jazz is acoustic. Good job! And I like to hear everybody's good music here as well!

Eekarooz:

Thanks for the compliment and forum input! Is there any of your music I could hear?

Sure thing, if you got msn messenger post your adress and we can discuss and exchange in private.
I'm pretty new to the forum so I'd like to get to know you guys too! I downloaded quite some songs already but just random... Any more recommendations?

Offguard was at #3 again yesterday, today it's at #4.
