Long time... Posted By: Hey there super 105 Tangents fans, where have you been? More to the point where have we been? Well sit right back and I'll tell you a tale full of adventure, crashes, splits, reunions and so forth and so on. The most recent release, Dev/Null, has been a labor of… well just a labor. The band went into the studio shortly after the release of “Songwriters Anonymous” full of a new spirit and lots of great ideas. They recorded all the demos and had started on the master tracks when all of the sudden fate stepped in and dealt them the first of many blows – the main hard drive crashed and took with it all of their hard work. Undaunted they began again only to be set back again with more computer problems. Some of the wind had gone out of their sails and the future was looking bleak. When they began again it was with a different spirit, one of “get it done quickly before people forget about us” – not a good way to create and as stressful as the creative process can be this only made things worse. Small problems became much bigger in this light and tensions began to manifest themselves in many ways, mostly with yelling and storming out. They continued on though, the need to share the creation with you was overwhelming and in spite of the personality conflicts they had to keep going. As the end of recording drew near the conflicts became too much and Chase walked out, leaving two songs yet to be recorded. Joe and Tony stepped up and finished the songs but the spirit of mutual esteem had been crushed forever… or at least severely damaged. Chase continued to come in after the rest of the band had left to mix and master what had been recorded. Finally all the tracks were ready to burn, artwork was created and printed, CD cases were loaded and off “Dev/Null” went to the distributors. During a band meeting after the release the band decided to jam together, just for fun and fun it was. The chemistry between the members of 105 Tangents is hard to ignore when you are in the room with them. By the end of the jam session wounds were already beginning to heal (music has a tendency to do that) and a follow-up session was scheduled. That was a little over a month ago and the band has been in the studio every weekend since then writing new songs and getting ready for the next CD. Into everyone’s life a little rain must fall… New places on the web Posted By: Here are some sites that recently added us to their already extensive musical offerings: http://www.mp3.com http://music.download.com Check them out when you get a moment. The Rock Keeps Rollin' Posted By: The band is still working on the new CD and it is coming together quite nicely. There are so many songs in the back catalog that we are having a hard time deciding which ones to include on this offering but I can already tell we have out done ourselves. The “sophomore” CD is always the toughest, especially when the debut was so successful so we are taking our time trying to get everything just right before we say “fini”. In a couple of weeks we will start releasing a single here and there to whet the appetite. Stay tuned. And as always, much love from the boys to our devoted fans. Rock on 105 Tangents Feb 13, 2005 Posted By: chase Started laying down tracks for the new CD last night. The demos are done and now it is time to get this CD recorded and out to our patient fans. The beginning of a recording session is stressful; we worry over every sound, every note, every beat until we have over analyzed the song to utter exhaustion - and then we go back and use the first take, go figure. Until the next time I get 5 minutes to update you...Peace. C- Long Time, No News Posted By: chase In case you are wondering, YES we are still here. Things have been busy so I have alot to tell you about. We are now all over the web at 20 different music download sites (iTunes, Napster, MusicNet, etc.), Tower Records, turbo-music (Europe) and the list goes on. We will be featured in an interview on the web site www.k-zine.net and will also have an interview and a review of "Songwriters Anonymous" on www.enigmaonline.com, both sometime this month. We are wrapping up demos for the next CD and will begin to really record at the beginning of March. I hesitate to give a release date as we are experimenting more and more with the studio and time has a tendency to slip by unnoticed in the proccess. Check the our site often for the next couple of months as we will be adding new pictures, demo sound clips from the new CD and possibly a webcam so you can check us out in the studio. Until the next update... we love ya and promise to respect you in the morning.
