Cloudyhead, Debut EP "Analog" - Come on, have a listen! (Jazz Funk Groove Metal?!)

JamesM · 03-08-2011, 11:31 AM

Heya folks!

Well, for some time now I've been working on my sonic journey through the cosmos for my little project Cloudyhead, this first release being "Analog." Now, I can't hope to compete with say, Drewsif, or any of the other fantastic musicians and songwriters on here. I just hope to have a few people listen. I'm a pretty poor guitarist, a lame ass bassist, and a mediocre vocalist (vocals on a single track). However, I hope my passion for music shines through.

First I'd like to describe my plans for this EP. This EP is soundtrack music; not for movies, for life. This music is living in tones and colors, music to walk to class listening to, to drive your car with it cranked, to evoke emotions and memories--especially those pertaining to the greatest emotion of them all. Love. I want to spread love for nature, for humanity and for thought. Romanticism isn't a strong point of mine, sorry.

Second, I'd like to state that this entire EP was recorded in my dorm room in an academic season, so I'm sorry. No Axe-FX here, no BRJ instruments. Just love for music.

Third, this EP is on a "name your price" basis. Feel free to pay nada.

I'm not trying to make money off of this, I do this because I love it. However, if you find you want to contribute to a poor college kid, I shall not protest.

Finally, I'd like to thank some people. I'd like to thank all of you for even listening.

Then I'd like to thank Alex (Prydogga) for the badass album artwork that he did out of the kindness of his heart. He's good people.
Then I'd like to thank Kurkkuviipale, my Finnish friend. He programmed the drums on "A CPU Error Has Occurred," and rather skillfully I might add.

Thanks a ton guys, and enjoy. Sorry for the essay.

Clicky.

JamesM · 03-08-2011, 05:06 PM

Thank youuuuu. I really appreciate it.

Dark_Matter · 03-08-2011, 05:46 PM

Poor guitarist my ass.

Sick stuff man, love it

JamesM · 03-08-2011, 05:57 PM

^Thank you, but if only you knew the number of takes required!

I thought I'd kill myself before finishing the damn thing!

Thanks a ton my friend.

JamesM · 03-08-2011, 07:32 PM

Some more comments..? Maybe... I...

Prydogga · 03-08-2011, 09:32 PM

I'm good people

WHY DIDN'T YOU LINK ME THIS THREAD? I must thank it and bump it!

Thanks for letting me do the work, I love the EP. Hope it gets you places buddy.

JamesM · 03-08-2011, 09:34 PM

I figured I'd let natural the natural flow take its course.

Thank me? No, thank you Alex.

All the best.

Prydogga · 03-08-2011, 09:46 PM

SERIOUSLY GUIZ, LISTEN!!!!1!!!!one.

Prydogga · 03-08-2011, 09:46 PM

I just realised, you and Drew released EP's within a day of each other. If only I was ready to do mine tomorrow

JamesM · 03-08-2011, 09:48 PM

Could have been the epic tri-fecta of awesome-sauce.

Prydogga · 03-08-2011, 10:04 PM

Next time.

lurgar · 03-08-2011, 10:12 PM

This sounds awesome. I also agree with the sentiment that Ryze Bot is OP. Of course now you replace him with Annie Bot.

JamesM · 03-08-2011, 10:13 PM

Thanks dude! Enjoy.

And yes, ....in nuke-fest.

I don't play that much, but a lot of the people on campus do.

Prydogga · 03-08-2011, 10:24 PM

Yeah, can you explain the reference in that Ryze Bot thing? That one confused me

JamesM · 03-08-2011, 10:30 PM

OP = Overpowered. There's this silly little free MMO-RTS game called League of Legends. Pretty damn fun. You can choose to play against people or against bots, and a few patches ago there were different bot characters to choose from, one of them being Ryze. All of the bots were so terrible at the game, except Ryze. Somehow he could absolutely rape everyone, even experienced players.

He'd just pop up and DEATH.

And for the record (I've already heard about this) pertaining to track two, yes I know his name is HEATH Ledger, and that he never played batman. Just a lil trollin' I do in games that gets people mad.

Dude, I'm loving this. It reminds me of Cloudkicker in parts, which is a good thing.

Many internets to you, friend.

JamesM · 03-08-2011, 11:19 PM

I keep getting told I need to listen to Cloudkicker.

Thanks a ton dude.

Prydogga · 03-09-2011, 12:03 AM

Meh, doesn't remind me of Cloudkicker at all, which is a good thing, I'm not a fan of his.

This is the shit!

Prydogga · 03-09-2011, 12:03 AM

OHHHHH LoL reference, yeah, I know a few peeps who play, but I don't myself.

TreWatson · 03-09-2011, 12:26 AM

lol

i love it dude

so much.

Vicissitude27 · 03-09-2011, 01:37 AM

Sounds sick as hell man.
I love your whole concept of the soundtrack for life.
I can't wait to hear a fellow Missourian record off of SS.

Let's meet up in Columbia and play the Blue Note
