Very nice work, mate. Thank you for the free album, will enjoy listening.
Did you use any VST instruments in this album by any chance?

I've listened to several tracks so far and I like them. They're interesting to listen to and I like the spookyness as well. Have you ever thought of putting vocals in your songs?

Thanks for the comments!  

Dark entity: I just use two Roland keyboards and for this album I dusted off my old guitar (hadn't played it in a really long time).

StarMountainKid: Yes, I have vocals on several albums, here are links to a few...

More specifically... one keyboard runs to a PC so I can record tracks with MIDI (using Cakewalk) and then let the PC play those tracks back as a rythmn section (which is cool because then you can quantize, cut and paste, ect). I use the second keyboard for lead tracks (recorded as wav) so there's a live feel to the recording. After everything's recorded, I run the MIDI keyboard and the PC out to a second PC to mix down (using Sound Forge). I usually add EQ and mix the tune, panic that the mix is too drum heavy, remix it, panic that the lead is now too loud, remix it, start wondering if I should redo half the mix, and ultimately end up sitting in a corner weeping softly and playing with my toes.
Glad you liked the album!
