Since we are primarily loop-based (hence our “clever” genre-description, if you’ve never noticed or caught up to that yet), we thought we’d present one of our songs in that fashion, rather than putting yet another mp3 up, pre-launch.
We put this little player together on Tuesday night, with most of the loops drawn from the completed song. It took all of the rest of the week to complete the darn thing. We initially wanted it to be html/javascript based, rather than Flash, but we found the javascript version way too unreliable to be fun, especially in certain browsers (IE8myshorts).
Werner even took some birthday time to get this baby done. Happy B-Day buddy!
Follow the link then, to play YOUR version of our song, Up.

Told you we'd be back
Maaike Bakker is gifted :) Check out her blog in our blog-list. She did the artwork for the album, and here is your first look at it. She grabbed a slice of lyrics from each song, and drew squiggly lines to fit. We love it! Thank you Maaike!
Also, we uploaded a song from these three. You hopefully already know Sinners, and you just need to wait a while longer to hear Up.
All for you by A Skyline on Fire
More later :)

“All this time alone is going to take its toll, have to take it slow, going to take it slow.”
Before I could write this update, I had to read my previous post first, to make sure that I’m not backtracking on any previous promises or contradicting myself. It doesn’t seem like I alluded to anything as yet, thankfully.
During the next month, you WILL see more activity from our side. THAT is a promise. If it means that we have to stay up till 2 in the morning, Werner will stay up until 3. If it means clawing each others eyes out over artistic differences, Werner will lose a tooth as well. All of this will be aimed at putting a disk in your hand or an MP3 in your ear, by the end of this year, and maybe entertain you along the way.
I don't want to give too much away now, because I don't want to shoot myself in the foot. Not again. So here is a picture of us looking lost in the woods (notice that we're not looking eye-to-eye):

Self-prophesising album titles
So here we are: an album called ‘Slow’ taking forever to reach the public.
This post feels like that awkward conversation you have with a really close friend after you haven’t talked for too-long a time. It's not supposed to sound apologetic, although it might come across as the ramblings of a guilty man.
When we started the process of this album, I think we were aiming for an April or May release. We nearly made it! I mean, it’s only October now, and we're almost there - not exactly prolific... Granted, one half of this outfit (me, CF) has been out of action for what feels like forever. Not that I can use my hands for anything constructive at all, but I could have been force-feeding Werner coffee if I had the time.
In all honesty, I think we (I’m talking about the royal we at least) were relaxing a bit after we finished the recording and got the master back. It felt like: “battle won”. Of course that extra time was then automatically filled with stupid life stuff, pffft...
At this stage, I think all that Werner and I want to do is write new music. It seems much easier to come up with a new concept album/EP than it is to come up with a launch strategy. Neither of us have ever been the guy that does the actual planning for a launch, so we keep avoiding the question of a launch date. Hell, we’ve been eclipsed by our brilliant friends Fulka who recorded after us, and have already launched their album.
“Okay CF, enough yada yada. What are you actually saying?”
It is simple really: Werner has been kicking ass in silence, together with mastermind Maaike Bakker, and we’re so, so close. Don’t forget about us, we’re still the same guy. It’s just, we’ve been busy you know... and you don’t have to always wait for me to call.
We miss you,
