Perhaps it might even be possible to do that for me, on my side of the world, will check it out. Will send you links to other vocal stuff and misc via tunebox msg!

	lunarshuttle (level 11) wrote: at 02 Apr 08 12:08am About vocals - I'm blushing... It's a difficult subject. Of course technique is involved but the most important thing is to be able to express what you want to express - something that fits to the music, and I think you're perfectly able to do that. I also think the effects on your vocals make it sound really cool (thinking "Compromise"). Anyway, if you would ever consider borrowing my voice I'd be happy to lend it. From my experience most of the work with vocals is about being comfortable with your own voice - finding out how it sounds and what you can do with it. So just keep working and experimenting with all types of styles and see where you end up. I can send you links to completely different vocal stuff I've done if you're interested. If it's possible to buy your CD without too much hassle with various money transfer methods you have a buyer here!

	lunarshuttle (level 11) wrote: at 02 Apr 08 12:07am Don't feel bad about having too much "stuff" in your music. Sometimes I've feel the same thing - that it would be "better" to keep it more "natural" - but why?? I want _more_ stuff in my music - I'm just too lazy to add it! I think there are already too many acoustic guitar ppl out there doing the same thing... I think that's one of the reasons I like your music - it feels "complete", and I wish I had the energy to make my things as complete as you do. It doesn't feel overworked either. I don't get the impression that you've added "stuff" just because, things have their purpose.

	lunarshuttle (level 11) wrote: at 31 Mar 08 09:56am Thanks a lot - I don't think I have nearly the same feeling of a concept as your stuff - it sounds "united". Unfortunately there are no real "releases" on my stuff, but I've began working on some new Lunar Shuttle Disasters. If you do a real release let me know!

	lunarshuttle (level 11) wrote: at 28 Mar 08 01:30am Just wanted to say again that I still find your stuff really amazing

	Spamtron (level 3) wrote: at 23 Feb 08 04:48pm I also wanted to say that I dig the megaphone / intercom vocals (one of my favorite parts of industrial rock/metal).

	Spamtron (level 3) wrote: at 23 Feb 08 04:48pm Dude, your crunchy guitar and drum tones are so awesome.

	lunarshuttle (level 11) wrote: at 22 Jan 08 01:48pm And no, I didn't mean that the music is similar to yours (and I wish mine was harder but I have other projects for that) . I just thought I felt that somewhere there's a common nerve both of them... like it stems from the same darkness! Keep up the good work! And it's a shame the 61 hasn't caught a crowd for your stuff yet - it's far too much 'Code monkey' around here. ;)
