Friends,
It's time.
It's been over 13 months in the making, but it's all coming together: In just over a week I will head back to the Belfry Recording Studio where David Peters will perform the final mixdown of the brand new album.
Afterwards it will be sent to the icy reaches of Finland, where Jyri Sariola will master it, and then, as we enter October, you will all have the chance to finally hear what your peers and I worked so diligently to create!
Last summer I offered the opportunity to produce this new album to everyone on the mailing list, and a group of interested listeners took me up on that.
I recorded and sent out a song-a-week for twenty weeks through the remainder of the year. The songs evolved based on feedback from my Producers, and then this past January they voted on which half of the songs I'd delivered were good enough for inclusion on this album.
Since I got off the road from my winter tour, I have spent most of my time turning my Producer's feedback into the brand new album that, I am tremendously proud to announce, is...
NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER!!!
*Clang & Chime*
the new album
PRE-ORDER AND GET THE COLLECTOR'S EDITION CD (and more!)
$20+ *Clang & Chime* Collectors Edition

$50+ *Clang & Chime* Producers Edition
(Didn't sign up to be a producer last year but wish you had? Maybe you're new to the mailing list and just found out about the project?
Feel like you were involved every step of the way with this package:
Includes the complete Collectors Edition, plus a bonus CD of the B-sides that didn't make the album & the demo-versions of the ones that did [that's 20 extra tracks!],
plus the complete Producers Notes & Feedback from all 20 weeks of the process!!)
**UPDATE**
Myspace isn't playing nice with PayPal, and they blocked my new Pre-Order site because they think I'm "phishing".
So just copy this link and paste it into your browser...
(again, CLICKING IT WON'T WORK; just copy & paste!)

SO... WANT TO HEAR IT RIGHT NOW?
In case you haven't been to my page in awhile, there is now only ONE track in my player, and that is a three-minute sampler of some of the music you'll hear on *Clang & Chime* -- it's not even mixed yet, but I think you'll agree that if it sounds this good already, it's going to sound fantastic by the time it reaches you.
And if you Pre-Order, it'll reach you before October!!
So listen. Listen again. Listen again after that. Shoot; download the preview and put it on your iPod. Make it the ringtone on your phone. Get to know it.
Then go click that link and secure your place in music history.
Thank you for all your support, folks. I'm so proud of how this is turning out, and I can't wait for you to hear every note!
Thanks for listening...
Seth Horan
