hia fellas!

i've made the mirror formula set that was premiered on the digitally imported radio channel available as a free download, including full length set, standalone tunes, front and back cover art and cue file.

edit: haha, i forgot to tell you where it can be found. i am an idiot.
go to http://www.hellven.org and click the blue "X" cover.. and choose if you want the entire set or the standalone tunes... or both

feel free to let me know what you think of it

and oh.. have a wonderful holiday season everyone!

take care,
xerxes

OK, I've given it a few listens now Xerxes, and I must say it's a complete album for sure.

The sound design is great! Just the intro shows some very nice morphing atmospheres. What did you use for these sort of sounds? Nice indeed.

The compostion is really well crafted too. Almost movie sound track-ish (hope that doesn't offend because it's a compliment). Minimal, but still interesting for the long haul - not easy to do.

Unfortunately I don't have track numbers and I didn't bother to try and count, but I really liked the beats and general feel from about 9 minutes to 20 minutes.

The section at about 40 minutes with the bells and stuff is very well done too - again sound-trackish.

All up, I thought it was excellent work.
Thanks for the listen!

thank you m8

this album is now available on CD (for pre-order, ships march 30, 2006).
i've been in studio with a norwegian sound engineer (an awesome one too) and mixed and mastered the entire album + one bonus track. to say the least, sound is twice as good!

glad you like it and that you took time to listen. very much appreciated!'

more info regarding cd on my site.. (xerxesmusic.com). only 300 copy limited edition of this one.
