3" CD maxi-single (ThornCult Records - THRN-025)
We appreciate many people don't care much for the b-sides. With this in mind, we have uploaded the title track in mp3 and Ogg Vorbis flavours. Full, unedited, free.
Any orders can be directed to thorncultrecords [at] googlemail [dot] com, costing £1.50 + p&p (international currencies given on request)
Note: Currently PayPal are busy f**king us over, so that should hopefully be fixed by the middle of next week. Until then, we accept well-hidden cash and cheques. Email for information.
Thank you.

maybe the b-side tracks are less worser

Blastypoops remembers P-mode!?
The tune didn't really knock me out off my shoes, but it's not at all bad.
Somewhere between early Ultravox and Project Pitchfork soundwise.
I have weak spots for both of them, actually. Maybe that's why I rather like it.
Ihr seid auf einem vielversprechenden Kurs, Korin. Ich bin mal gespannt wie ein Flitzebogen was noch von Euch kommt!

I've just had a listen and, despite it not really being my thing, its much better than I expected!
I'd describe it as being a bit like a much nastier Caberet Voltaire, possibley what Laibach might have sounded like if they'd been living in Sheffield in 1978.
Its a horrible, unpleasant track (but not nessissarily a bad one) so I can see why it wouldn't be terribley well recieved by many. I can also see what you are going for and I'd say you've achieved it very nicely, its just a case of finding your audience I guess.
None the less, thank you for the upload.

i'll be brutally honest and say it doesnt move enough to cut it as a lead track, but when it does move (that middle segment with the drums) its a not a bad noise at all... and the complete piece wouldnt sound out of place nestling alongside some of the slower, more abstract stuff skinny puppy or ggfh have done...
find a track with that killer groove and then whack this one alongside it and you've the making of a decent industrial ep

Loved Prohibition Of Still Life but this left me cold, sorry.
I had a face on the mirror
I had a hand on the gun
I had a place in the sun and a ticket to Syria

This thread has every answer I expected. Cheers guys.
EDIT: That said, though, there are a few replies which have left me perhaps a little confused. Still, I'd rather keep going along this path than with the noise-beats from the first album. Prohibition is the only old song I still play live, at least.

If you're trying to make a living making music, its important people like your music so they buy it so that you don't starve to death."my opinion is the only one that matters"
words to live by
I'd say "words to live by, occasionally, in very specific situations".
Korin - songs not too good. Why don't you try a cover version or two?
Covering is good and well for getting the playing skills into shape. I wish the band I was part of would have done a good deal more of that (any of it, actually) instead of "making" 2 new songs per rehearsal that (naturally) were abysmally bad.
Playing skills don't really seem to be that much of a weak spot here, rather exercise in making (Remember how much better The Mumbles got in the process? Or The Sisters, to name a better known band? ) the songs.
Weitermachen, die Richtung stimmt!

I have never intended to make a living out of music, nor have I ever claimed to want to.nodubmanshouts wrote:If you're trying to make a living making music, its important people like your music so they buy it so that you don't starve to death.
a) Because if I did a cover by a band you all knew, I would want to put it on a CD, and thus would most likely have to pay significant copyright fees for something that won't sell beyond 10 copies.nodubmanshouts wrote:Korin - songs not too good. Why don't you try a cover version or two?
b) Because I don't really feel like doing any at the moment. (Though one day I'll finish that version of Pachelbel's Canon In D...)
c) Because I already did a cover on the first album.
I know my songs are bad. I will say it slowly, loudly and very obviously, I Cannot Write Songs Well. I Am Not A Good Songwriter. If I were, I'd be doing a lot better. However, I prefer to make songs sound fairly well-produced, because that's something, IMHO, that I can do.
To be honest, I was hoping for a wide range of replies from enjoyment to hate (as I'm used to at gigs). Though I realise the vast majority of people here aren't really into this sort of music. FWIW, I love Smokestack, and am really f**king proud of it. Oh well, at least you listened.

Take it from a fellow musician.
Never quit, ask for opinions but rarely follow them.
And I guess there's not much musicians around here that will even think about doing it for a living. Most lousy job there is I think.
Best hobby tho
Keep on going Korin!

IMO the main problem with Smokestack is it's too short.
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.
