Rich McCoy - Aural Allusions CD
Availability: Apr 05, 2011
It took me just over a year to put this one together, working on it from April 2010 until April 2011 in my free time. It has a more ethereal
sound than my previous albums, so if you're used to my usual style, this one's a bit different. It is actually more along the
lines of what I enjoy listening to myself, but seem to have a hard time finding... I think you'll find that it still sounds like me
if you have downloaded my previous albums.
The title of this album comes from the theme of my previous album Waiting For Nothing To Happen -
Sounds & songs referring to situations being observed & experienced, making some who put themselves in those positions realize that others are
paying attention.
As usual - these are all free for the taking. If you're new here, this is all just for fun, even though I take this very seriously,
so take them and enjoy them if you like what I'm doing. If you think someone else would enjoy these, please refer them here rather
than distributing the files yourself. If you'd like more, all my albums are on my Discography page.
Update: Apr 11, 2012 - All songs re-released / updated with more attention paid to the mix... after letting them sit for about a year.
I'm using some new mixing techniques which seem to be working well for these, so if you got your copy of these before Apr 11, 2012,
please take them again now... Thanks!
