finally it's finished...the four noble truths... it's been a while the cd been push back supose to come out like what? 3 month ago? lol yea now we have the set date. the worldwide release is march 24th. and cd release party which u will recieve a free copy by attending the show is march 28th at arlean grocerys

Arlene's Grocery. the thing is that the set time we have an hour and half set. from 11:30pm to 1:00am the problem u would think that.. would people show? because it runs till 1am.

first whoever attend the concert and paid admission receieves a free copy of the new CD.

and I figure most of the people going, and would be too late to catch the bus on a Saturday night.. then why dont they just split a hotel room where they can drink before/after if they wanted to... it's not that much for 1 night to split..

so we are planing to rent out 2 hotel rooms and other people can do that too so we can make sure people come out. and it'll be an after party at the rooms or wutever.

and the show's saturday night.. and sunday free parking so no worrys about that.

it's party time biatches~

The Hsu-nami song Signature Review on garageband.com

Entering of the Mandala:

Epic
The initial guitar strumming coupled with the violin (it takes a moment to discern the violin from a woman's voice... very cool) are an instant hook. Had my attention right away. The slow build up of drums also really reeled me in... By 3-4 minutes the song has taken a complete about face and takes the Decemberists "Shanty for the Arethusa" feeling I was getting at the very beginning and throws Metallica's "Master of Puppets" back at you with the speedy guitar and drums... My jaw would be dropping and I wouldn't know what hit me if I saw this live.

Progressive with Flair
First off I have to say that this song sounds either Celtic or Chinese from the flute but it gives it a flair that makes it unique.
The mix of the Guitar and what sounds like a Pan Flute is very interesting and seem so be produced very well.
I enjoyed this track alot and then found out at the end that it was recorded live which impressed me more to find out that the sound quality was so good for a live recording.
If I had to pick who you guys sound like, it would be what you might get if you mixed Jethro Tull and Emerson,Lake & Palmer together. Very original though and I commend you for doing something different.
Keep it Up,

Rogue Wave:

chinese rock
here something i dont here very often, but when its done it usually desnt work, in contraire this intro is very appealing, the asian music blended with modern music creates a unique atmosphere in this song. the guitar solo is also not badly played.
interesting combination

nice
Drum corps dude. Love the drumming. Y'all listen to Mahavishnu at all? I really like this. It's prog(gish) without being too boring, except for the shred part, but WTF. I wish there was a market for this type of music in this country so you could sell it to more than by more than just musicians. I love and appreciate what y'all are doing. Keep it up.

Rising of the Sun:

wow'sers

the celtic feel in the intro is very origional. i love the strings and guitar changes, the production is well done and the mood of the song is up-lifting.
the performance of this band is fantastic, the arrangment is very good.
Who do you sound like ? No one i can pick out, you've done a great job of creating your own edge here with this song. to say you guys sound like any one band i've heard would be an insult to what you created.
A+

Kansas-esque Prog-fest!
Sounds like an energetic, more celtic flavored Kansas. The fiddle player isn't bad. The drummer here is revelling in all his double-kick-pedalling glory, and the guitarist is laying down some bluesy and epic tones in the service of this prog-rock instrumental rock-out.

Rock Japan China
Pretty unusual japanese violin phrasing and guitar combo lead to fairly engaging experimental rock song.
The japanese bow violin hook effect is pretty unique and works well.
quite an odd mix of genre's that actually works...quite an amazing feat.
Not keen on that electric guitar sound it's too 80's old school mainstream prog rock for my tastes... but the song is elevated by that melody. pretty good.
