Now that's a tough one to answer because there was some Arbaic material we had and I agree it would add an interesting and very cool twist. I had a guitar synth that I was devoting a ton of time too and I was using many Middle Eastern scale formats to give a feel. The problem was I was trying to find sounds. I have a Korg Trinity and I was looking into Emu and other sound rack modules to achieve an organic sound. The problem is it wasn't coming off very organic and I have to admit I got frustrated with the tones. The parts were awesome and I can see using them in the future but in order to to have it correct the sounds need right on. Man spatch you have a great memory lol.
The great thing about the next batch material already written is there's a ton of Exotic material in places. The material is very (Gulp) cold, Heavy, exotic that reallys puts you in a trance. It gives dynamic levels when the heavy parts hit in place, they feel really heavy because the lighter side is very cold, eerie and very exotic in places. For instance the song titled, "THE FALCON'S CRY" starts out very intense/crushing and then rolls into a crazy polyrythmic section which comes together in and exotic unison pattern. The patterns get more intense as the song carries on and works its way to a climax then (Clean section) is released to a floating sound-wave of beauty and open space.
I can't begin to tell you how excited we are with the new material. We really feel we put everything we had into the music, lyrics and melodies.
Have a great weekend everyone, YOU ALL RULE!!!
