NEWS   I'm happy to report that; TIME "the CD" is now available at ReverbNation!!!!
My name is Eric, musician, was born May 10th 1972,and the rest, as they say,is history. Hope you enjoy.
Why this name?
Well, in the begining, I really had no say in the matter, so I figured I may as well just shorten it a tad.
Do you play live?
As of now? No. Would I like to again?,Sure,I miss it. Playing out and doing shows is one of the greatest things in the world!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Oh absolutely, maybe for the better perhaps for the worst but if nothing else it made the transportation and sharing of music convienient.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
No,regretfully the business end of music is the rape of all things pure and genuine in regards to music in and of itself and the art of creativity as a whole.
Your influences?
For me, anything really can be considered an influence as well as an inspiration.I think the top few who has had the biggest impact on me as a musician has to be Steve Vai,Randy Rhoads,Triumph,Dokken and Dream Theater. As much as I'm inspired by other musicians, I'm equally influenced by visual artists such as Salvadore Dali, Monet, H.B. and William Webb. My inspirations come also from not only other guitarists but bassists, drummers and certain vocalists such as John Arch, and not to mention keyboardists as well. I thank God for the gift of music, and as long as we're all able to create,does it really matter where the inspiration comes from? Just so long as it keeps coming,we're good.
Favorite spot?
Downstairs in, as my wife has named "The Dungeon", Crystal Blue Studios.
Equipment used:
Ibanez guitars. Marshall Amps.
Korg keys and soft synths. Morley,Digitech,Boss pedels.
D'Addario,Blue Steel strings.
Fender jazz pics.
Shure mics.
Nick-knacks galore.
Anything else...?
I would like to thank the very talented Dee Lakhani for the use of his piece;"Necronomicon6",for which I used for the cover art for "Time".www.unscarred.co.uk

There's actually a funny story behind where I got the name to this, well, maybe not so much, but anywho.One day as I was doing a bit of God's work, I was reading 'Uncle John's Bathroom Reader', naturally, and I came across , oh nevermind.

This is the final trilogy on the album.Penduluum starts with a middle-eastern kind of feel which leads right into the 'free association of life and death' section.Coming Home is the last song on the album.

Well,it came down to a coin toss between which version would be on the album.The first version won.

Wow. Can't express how awesome this is. Epic. Simply Epic.
Quite a trip. Pushing lots of boundaries here. Reminds me of WXPN in Philadelphia. They play a lot of experimental music. Love the free form feel. Vocal track is well done. Ending is suburb. Very unexpected as I was wanting to ride longer. Nice job.

Love the soulful intro and the power when it kicks in. Amazing arrangement, very passionate and powerful, yet atmospheric and kinda chilling at the same time. This one definitely strikes an inner chord, it has an awesome "feel" to it. Very dramatic, and skilfully executed.
