Hello again all you delightful people (and even the non-delightful ones, you know, the ones who drown kittens and stuff).

I'm in a really good mood today, things are going very well right now, I'm just a bit tired from it all as I've been very busy. My week has been taken up with my new job, working on the soundscapes album and singing lessons (I have to get back on form for the vocal album) plus my good mate Lee (of "On The Nightwaves") has moved into the spare room in my house, it's pretty awesome having someone else here, but I'm terrorfied it might distract me from my music a bit. He has an XBox and it lures me toward it with sweet promises of Silent Hill: Homecoming and Too Human :( 
Below is an artist's representation (I'm not gonna say who as it's obviously me) of the XBox/Synoiz scenario:



"The Esoteric Order of Dagon" makes Top 10 on OurStage
Oh yeah, much more importantly, judging finishes on this month's OurStage entries today (around 4am GMT I think, that's like Midnight in America I think) and the b-side to Long Lost... "The Esoteric Order of Dagon" has made the top 10 in Experimental! I am so pleased you would not believe! It's the first time I've finished in the top ten (the closest was "Revelation, Despair" which finished at #14). If you're reading this and you've been judging on OurStage then thank you so much :) 
Of course there's still time to vote on what order you want the top ten in, so if you have an OurStage account (or wouldn't mind signing up for one) you can still help the track out by voting for it to stay in the top 5:



If you'd like to help out then just register for an account and then go to "Judge" in the main menu bar, and then select "Experimental" from the channel dropdown. There's only the top ten to vote for now so my entry should pop up at some point! 

New Tracks for Soundscapes
Just to say thank you again to anyone who voted for me on OurStage, here are some of this week's latest demos for the Soundscapes album, "Alien Architecture" is a kinda sci-fi one (I was thinking of X-Com/UFO if you know what that is), and "Realisation of the Truth" and "...Abandoned" are ones for the horror section, they're both very Resident Evil-inspired!

That's it for now, hope you're all doing okay, I've got my fingers crossed for the OurStage results!!!
