RBN Community Spotlight : November 2012

I just youtubed the original and it sounds FANTASTIC! First RBN song I've listened to in a long time and it hits it out of the park!

Ashley is part of this song according to this Youtube video, what's up with the RBN version not having it?

I think that's Fairwood's recording equipment. I had the same problem with Chart Toppers videos. They all sounded really muddled, but everything ended up sounding great it the game.

Mostly recording equipment (low-def output on an XP machine, eep!). Partly that Stagehands songs have a crap-ton of stems so the mixes take longer to refine. And I only started mixing that an hour before the video.

Marko actually wanted us to do just Biblioteque. He didn't feel Ashley or Searching were really strong enough for the game. I agree about Ashley, as it's just exposition and doesn't really fit into the flow too well, but Searching works perfectly as an intro so that was kept.

You cannot understand the epicity of the Silent City album. Unless you, y'know, BUY IT.

Anyway, hells jeah!

Thanks Fairwoods. It's cool knowing behind the scenes stuff of stuff I'm really interested in.

I'm mainly wondering how TAG's Ne Obliviscaris tracks are coming along.

That Stagehands reminds me of Rock Lobster at the end kind of LOL.

Stagehands: The Epicness of a Rock Opera with The Annoyingness of Fred Schneider

First is a pair of tracks from hrmnzr, a young electro-pop artist with rather light, summery, loopy songs. We'll be doing:

hrmnzr - "Waves"
hrmnzr ft. Bowman - "Someone Else's Song"

You can hear "Someone Else's Song", and all the rest of hrmnzr's material, here.

Ooh, these sound nice, I might check out more of his other stuff.

Since we're apparently up against Kenny Loggins, screw it, here's the big guns.

Woah, just...woah.

Oh, Fairwood is going try to fight the theme song to an 80's movie with a broadway-esque band?

Well, I say fight fire with Fire! St. Elmo's Fire to be exact! And it's out next week!

Her other stuff.

And yea, I was glad to see that one in particular came up multiple times in requests.

Last little bit from me, no videos as of yet. We've got two more tracks on tap from Turkey Vulture Records, both more involved and less Nickelback-y than their first release:

- Beyond Threshold - "First Blood"
- A Memory Down - "Peace Be Yours"

Hopefully I'll be able to start showing those off in relatively short order.
