disappearing dove...

Well, the ADATs went down again about 2 months ago. One night the LCD characters suddenly melted digitally in front of my eyes! As it happened, I was on a roll - with only 3 songs left. But when the old LCD screen went bye-bye, it (surprisingly) brought the entire system down. So there was 2 months where I couldn't really do much work on the new album....

Deep down, though, i think I wanted a break. Because upon finally getting the ADATs back last Saturday, I now am *really* looking forward to finishing these final songs! Well, the upshot is that these final 3 songs will probably be (some of) the strongest of the lot.  So it makes sense to not release anything more (via this website) until everything is done...

Also, I have become pretty certain now that I'm going to use a new "band" name for this next album. It both feels and seems right to do so, and with the new songs I actually have a concept in mind. So, it seems like a real, honest-to-god first release from a band with its own sound....

At this point, the new band name that I fancy is 'Disappearing Dove'. And since I *am* starting a new band (most likely), it seems like a great time to start a new Tumblr blog! (Incidentally, just about everything will be done differently the next time.)

Anyway, I might still blog here a little if there's any new development regarding this album (very unlikely at present). Otherwise, I hope you'll come check out what's going on at the new blog.  With a few posts so far, I am definitely digging the new setup at http://minuteminutes.tumblr.com/
