DONE MIXING!
Yup,
That's pretty much it. Mixmaster Micke has completed the album, the full enchilada.
Intros, extros and bells 'n whistles are all there. As always it's all about compromising, killing darlings and sticking to it.
Like Rob said, it's been a true journey, especially for him with his newborn Emma joining his family but a few weeks ago. Welcome to the baby girl and welcome to "Tales from the Maze" - our first full-length album.
From here, JP is up from Amsterdam to listen to the result of our endevour, after which the package is sent to Dalarna for mastering.
In the meantime, myself and pixel artist Gabriel have been busy with the cover artwork, layout and graphics for tangible and intangeble look of our new release. We'll give some hints here on the blog, but the final result will have to wait for the release (and the corresponding party).
Alex - Keepin' you posted as always!

Mixed, but not shaken
Janne called me a few days ago, kind of mellow, saying we're just about done.
JP (Art Perf.) is coming up this upcoming week to listen in, mix all done, tracks in order and all we have left is some into and extros, with sounds captured during the summer sessions. Perhaps even that HUGE rainstorm, so loud on the tin roof, it prevented us from recording that night.
So, we're giving birth really soon - our musical offspring, or the Blurb as Robert calls it.
Concurrently, we're working on the eye-candy. With the valuable from Gabriel from Kärrby Creative, the visual aspects of "Tales from the Maze" will reach up, and post probably surpass our expectations - perhaps even your's as well...
After FX add-ons, it's off to Dalarna for mastering for vinyl and CD!
Bombs away!
