So what have i been doing over the last few months since I actually posted some VAC news? Mostly working on the web site. So much has changed since last summer, jobless again, broke again. I am working on VAC though, I have finished the track listing for the lp. The New lp is 9 songs like TTG, It will also have a bonus LP on it like TTG. A total of 20 songs. 11 on an mp3 data track (it will be a surprise), and 9 on the regular audio portion on the cd. The good news is that I do really like this lp. There is this theme to the sound. There is a lot of acoustic guitar on the lp, I really found a great way to record and process it. I’m finding that in a home studio, that organic sounds tend to sound the best. Either something analog, or something real like a guitar in a room. I have finally been able to record guitars and get them to sound really good. Do not fear, this still sounds like vac, and I have used acoustic guitars in the past, so don’t freak out. Before they were usually synth patches, not the real thing. This time, it’s the real thing.

The opening track sounds like massive attack meets death in june. The second track sounds like Old sisters of mercy meets death in june, 3rd track is the remake of phucking phreak with new musical parts and sounds like bombastic power goth rock, the 4th track is the title track of the lp and sounds like a cross between megadeth and the pink dots, the 5th track sounds like current 93 meets death in june, the 6th track sounds like something off of fun with knives with way better production think apflux but more acid dance style, the 7th track sounds like meat beat manifesto(think psyched out era) meets acid house, 8th track sounds like astral projection meets fun with knives, the 9th track sounds like hyper progressive psytrance meets industrial. The lp fits right in to the time line of VACs discography. The songs are produced very well, and have great sound quality, loud, punchy and warm. I produced this lp in a totally new way, using a macintosh with a whole new front end and logic studio. The mac has tightened up my midi and drum programming immensely. I am very happy with what is done so far. The only things left are samples, and vocals. I am working on the vocals right now. Its pretty hard :) I hope I sing well. I’m thinking the lp will be out in march or april. It is packed with music. The art is up in the Air, I am trying to find the right artist now, kind of hard, but i think i have something lined up.

What I has saved my life from losing all my friends to distance, is the ps3. I think I would of gone crazy if it were not for the ps3. I still work out, and try to eat healthy. I have been battling fierce depression over the past year. I think I am really starting to kick it now. Working out, and the planets seem to be lining up in the right way. I some how feel a lot better recently, and cannot put my finger on it. I really think the new VAC will do well, it is very song oriented. I think it sounds a lot different from lust for blood. I’m writing 90% this time. Todd hasn’t been around much, in the early stages only. At least the new Ohgr cd is cool! take care..
