[Incredible Reviews]
Greetings [disciples]
I’ve taken great pleasure this week in seeing the initial reviews for the album coming through from all around the world. Although you can’t really get too focused on them (be they good or bad) I must say that I’m pretty happy that they are good, in fact great, rather than the other option!! Here’s a few samples from them that perhaps you can use to leverage your friends to pony up and buy it :)
“Dark, intense and captivatingly eccentric…becomes a colossal peak, an electrifying tempest of thunderous bass and chilling feed-backing synths.” Papercut Magazine
“…Pop tunes that quickly evolve in to something otherworldly, building to an explosive climax ….. Cinematic material”. Pop Dose
“Introverted and dark with hints of optimism throughout. Simply gorgeous”. Fourculture Magazine
“cinematic, sleek and nothing short of captivating. extremely close to being a gothic masterpiece”. The Big Takeover
“Intimate and honest … achieves that illusive quality of something that’s harking back to the past, but resolutely facing the future.” The Weekly Podcast
“Passion” …. shifts and rolls with power, while showing a sweet vulnerability. This is Thomas’ masterpiece.” AXS.com
“…mesmerising and stunning” Vents Magazine
“…beautiful in all ways..” Brutal Resonance
I guess we are on the right track then :)
Peace, love & Mischief

[New video coming soon ….. “More Than This”]
We just spent a very long but incredibly rewarding birthday Sunday filming the new [debut] video for “More Than This”. Trespassing, permit dodging and such is the life for zero budget, indie music videos these days it seems! Jail and fines were avoided though and we all made it out in one piece. Huge thanks to the team ….. Justin (DP), Bryan and Frank (Band), Trisha (model) and Denni (valued assistant). Plan is to edit it up and get it out to you all as soon as possible. Until then, here’s a still from the day for you. Don’t forget, “Postcards From Berlin” is released this Thursday March 5th. My advice is … buy it :) Gx

[The album is now finished]
Hi Everyone
Well finally, at long last, the album is finished. It’s been a long road to get to this point and I am absolutely knackered. However, I’m so pleased and excited to have this done and I really think that you are going to love it. I kept reminding myself in these last weeks to not cut any corners and to just keeping focused on making it the best it could possibly be. I can honestly say that we left no stone unturned and obsessively slaved over each sound, mix and song. Mission accomplished :)
The next step is to visit “The Mastering Lab” this Saturday and to hear the final mixes fully processed and ready for delivery. For those who don’t quite get what “mastering” is, it’s the process when all the song mixes are analyzed and tweaked by audio perfectionists to make sure that every frequency is 100%, that all songs are the same volume and that the mixes will translate to your car stereo, iPod or deluxe home speaker system. It’s the icing on the cake and the “Mastering Lab” is the best in the business for this.
I have also just recorded a very special audio commentary that discusses each song, it’s lyrics, and production. It is only going to be available to fan club members or purchasers of the limited edition CD which also comes with a unique signed polaroid from Berlin. There are only 25 copies of this limited edition package available so if you didn’t order one, grab it at this link while you can : http://debutsounds.storenvy.com/products/11094519-postcards-from-berlin-limited-edition-signed-with-polaroid
Lastly I am pleased to share with you now the album cover for the first time. It’s dark, intense and insular just like the album itself.
Peace, Love & Mischief
Gx
