Description : know thyself! this phrase was written above the entrance of the oracle of Delphi in Greece, it's over 2500 years old, and still it's the wisest advice that can be given to somebody ...... this track is a journey inside, what you hear is what I found there ........ I used one of DJ Hatim's brilliant drumloops, one from Audiopervert .... bass and synths are created with FL demo, guitar recorded with Line6podXT .... know thyself!!!! peace, rei

this track is dark.. it keeps coming at you. When the guitars come in it takes the track to a new level. I like that. As usual the production and the mix are perfect. I love tracks that mix heavy guitar and an electro sound. so .... i love it. Excellent... mik

Nice bass and drums! The little hip hop hats and bells are great.

Great job!

Ah!...only a second into the first bar and I know this is going to have that signature 'Rei' sound..the one we all hang out for!..it's a combination of things,a mean guitar central riff,lead guitar transients,incredible syncopated rhythms,warm keyboard overtures,and poignant percussive inserts...but what really nails it for me is the way all these elements are combined seamlessly into an advancing musical progression that only Rei can create and is his trademark.......most people look their whole lives for a sound they can call their own...you've obviously had it for years....cheers mate! planet:)

I loved all of this song. The intro is awesome as is when your masterful guitar enters and the song moves forward and up a gear. Production is first class, as always...

Cheers Slap...

i love the intro, ... in some ways.. it feels like... F**K you.. You know? "Know yourself"

"Saying "Know thyself" may refer by extension to the ideal of understanding human behavior, morals, and thought, because ultimately to understand oneself is to understand other humans as well. However, the ancient Greek philosophers thought that no man can ever comprehend the human spirit and thought thoroughly, so it would have been almost inconceivable to know oneself fully. Therefore, the saying may refer to a less ambitious ideal, such as knowing one's own habits, morals, temperament, ability to control anger, and other aspects of human behavior that we struggle with on a daily basis."

I think you must be a really really cool dude in real life.
It's proven you are a kick A$$ mod, and musician.

Description : This is my newest creation, at a stage very near to completion. No third-party mastering or mixing, as with all my tracks. Just have to fix a few tiny things. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO MIX EVERYTHING IN THE SAME SESSION. This song has all human-played instruments - no quantization or MIDI! My brother does all the vocals except for the interlude part, which I do. My other brother plays the rhythm guitar (a Gibson Les Paul Custom - only one of 12 in the world!!) and I play the accompanying guitar (a Johnny Mar Jag and PRS). He has a lot of guitars :P A good friend of ours, Ronnie, plays the bass and another friend, Freddie, plays the drums. The drum track was done in one take (had to use an electric drum set due to time constraints - but acoustic kits are so much better). Overall, pretty satisfied with the result. Let me know your thoughts.

Description : The first track I sing on. Cheap stage mic & no fancy plugins. Heavily guitar laden to the point it's got a bit of a shoegaze thing going on. I pulled the lyrics out of my ass & yes, they're a bit silly.

Description : BIG UPDATE 26/02/2014 - So, this was an 18 min track that I have now successfully split in two. 2nd half I uploaded a few weeks ago (Things That Should Always Be, with the bouncy 2 min reggae intro). This is the first half, which has a new mix, a mega chill, meditative ending and a little jazz thrown in for good measure. Takes a few minutes for beat to really kick in. Constantly evolving electric guitar, bass guitar, acoustic drums and lead banjo driven by fat, busy 80BPM grooves with a bit of a reggae and shuffle feel. Also: synth choir voices, dulcimer, violin, cello, shimmering pads. Builds up gradually to nice and rocking and then gets taken back down for the big comedown chill. I really don't know what sort of genre this is except 'far out'. I think it sounds more like a live band than one guy playing instruments and manipulating a DAW. Not my best track but a bit of blissful, sunny island fun. Real positive vibe here so I hope you give it a chance to unfold and unfurl. Sit back, clear your schedule and immerse yourself in these trippy sonic experiments cooked up deep in my off-planet underground laboratory. I have to send the MP3 to Earth via space courier (not cheap).
