Inner Light Spectrum

So today’s chill song is Kruder & Dorfmeister ’s Sofa Rockers. You can’t be a fan of chillout music if you don’t know the mighty K & D. The chillest of the chill. Discovered these guys back in the late 90’s. Pickup the Sessions Double Cd, and then the DJ Kicks series well worth checking out. I remember being @ HMV in downtown Montreal, with this cd in my hands & debating to myself whether to get it or not, after all it was $30. The guy beside me looked at me and said “hey man trust me get that cd, you won’t regret it”. Boy was he right. thanks man whoever you are. This album has continued to be an inspiration to me, and has influenced my music forever.

peace for now …

I know I was a little upset with HMV in my last post, but I decided to go check it out anyway.  Sonia, Andie and I went downtown to checkout  the Mega store.  Apparently an employee of the Electronica section dug the CD enough to order or more copies, and offered a free listening post. Cool !!!

My brother called me last Saturday, he was at a HMV store to purchase my cd (thanks for the support!).  Happy to see that they had my CD on the shelf.  Great !, but at $21.99.  I was shocked, no one in their right mind would by a CD these days for $21.99. I mean c’mon when will these people wake up!?  Then they bitch that Cd’s aren’t selling anymore.  I personally think Cd’s should be no more that $10 to $12 tops.  With the exception of double cd’s and imports.  I quickly emailed my displeasure to the distributor who investigated and fixed the scenario, among other things HMV hadn’t done.   So if you go to the HMV Mega store Downtown Montreal, you should find it at a reasonable $15.99.  But who knows for how long. Apparently the other stores will still be $21.99 Go Figure. Or just go to Archambault as they have it for $14.99.

On another good note, anyone outside of Quebec can order a copy through Amazon.ca They have it for 15.99, and I’ve always had excellent servie from amazon over the years.

That’s it for now, thanks to all who have already purchased the CD,  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it.

Peace

September is here! The summer has literally flown by. The Path to Reality launch date was looming in the distance,  seemed so far away and now it’s past. It’s in stores here in Montreal. HMV & Archambault. Yet the work that lies ahead is huge. Being an independent artist your work is cut out for you. I really want to make this album work. Let’s not kid around here,  I’m not expecting to sell millions of copies, but at the very least I’d love to be on the global music map. Someone to take seriously.  Maybe collaborate with some cool artist from all 4 corners of this beautiful globe.

This blog is an exercise for me, to try to keep a journal or some sort of record.  I’m horrible with that stuff.  I never think to take the time to set up a camera when I’m doing things in the studio, or shows etc.  I’ll try my best here to keep things updated.

Happy Reading…
