Happy Anniversary! Free E.P. in Remembrance of Jules Gabriel Verne!




We were planning on releasing the full length version of Behold the Machine today. But Martin and I decided that we should push the official release date back a few weeks so that we can finish the rest of the planned songs and polish the album in general.

So here is a free E.P., with fully mastered tracks. Most of these tracks will have vocal recordingings, and we still have at least five more to finish before we are ready to share them.

Please let us know what you think?

Huge picture is huge. Might wanna re-size it to all the places you posted it. I've got a huge picture showing up in a row of three on my friend's page.

Other than that, AWESOME. Can't wait to download.

Heh... I always forget that I have a super high res monitor. I'll fix it in a sec.

Snagging it! Yours is the only steampunk music I will bother with :) I've liked what I've heard of VP so far. Keep up the good work!

It worked! Very nice--it will be interesting to hear vocals over them, but they work quite well as instrumentals as it is. "Steamwave" is perfect.

I absolutely enjoyed listening to the EP, and I cannot wait for the full release, but I do have to say this: "I Am the Sea" and "The Alchemist's Vision" have just been tweaked too much for my taste. The old versions were beyond reproach, and I think every note was absolutely perfect, so the changes just seem...unnecessary. Now, again, it's just my opinion, as I cannot know what your vision was for the music, but for me, I'd much rather have the old versions.

Well "I am the Sea" and "The Alchemist's Vision" were always supposed to have real post-punk style guitar and bass, I just didn't have anyone to play them. But now I do! Also both of those songs are currently without vocals. The vocals in both tracks really make the songs complete. As far as the added flourishes and melodic changes, Martin and I have both agreed that we want the whole album to have a very Baroque feel.

Well, I do have to confess that I have a tendency to prefer demos to final mixes, so there is a bit of a bias. I'm eagerly awaiting the final versions, and can't wait to hear your finished product.

"Vagues de Vapeur" sounds INCREDIBLE! I cannot wait to hear the final version!

Thank you! I was actually messing with the drums on that track tonight. You can hear my new mix here:

Sounds great! I love how it builds up at the end, and then when the drum beat drops off...just haunting. LOVE IT!
