Welcome to the new world of Mid-Evil beginning here on
phocas.net with the arrival of Aldrin The Great's New original
Progressive Drum & Bass ALbum entitled Imagination.
In this his 3rd Album He pulls upon his life long experiance
as a musician and his years of DJ skills to combine them
with his love for electronic music and drum & bass creating
a new sound all his own. When asked why he changed his stage
name he replied "I found out there was annother DJ
out there with the name DJ Aldrin.
I thought I had come up with an original name when I took
it on back in 2000 but I guess not. So now since I perform
Live PA I wanted to have a new name for that anyway. So,
I asked a few friends what I should change my name to and
ended up going with Aldrin the Great. I still get the name
recognition I worked so hard to achieve and dont have to
worry about using some other DJs name." To co-enicde
with the launch of his new album here his website, MidEvilRecords.com
has also recieved a makeover. You can go there to hear more
of Aldrin's tracks, see pictures and videos, or book his
Live PA or DJ act for your next event.
Imagination
(all songs written and produced
by Aldrin)
This title's definition is intended to inspire deep listening.
Plug in your headphones and go for a ride inside your own
imagination. This is the Fuel for that journey. Now you
can go to the party of your minds eye and Let Aldrin provide
the smooth sounds of his D&B.
Intro - the lights are all off inside the arena as aldrin
takes the stage. You suddenly see the lights slowly fade
up revealing a stage of your imagination.
Track 1 - Deep In the night - we start out the journey
with a classic sounding track featuring an acoustic bass
and smooth vocal stylings. Bringing the bass out is the
best way to start a party
Track 2 - I Don't Mind - Annother Groove gets underway
this one has a slower section where I bring the beat down
to half time for a bit. It's like a resting place before
the real mind bending Destinations ahead.
Track 3 - It Can Be Done - A simple reminder that whatever
you face in life all you have to tell yourself is Yes it
can be done. then you can do it. the seering deep Bassline
on this track drives you flying at the spped of light across
the world below.
Track 4 - The Power - Im sure you all remember that tune
from the 80's I've got the power. Well with this track you
can have the power to be motivated in any direction. It's
gettin kinda hectic.
Track 5 - Goodnight - A deep trancy D&B production
Simply putting it all in perspective. Good night indeed.
you find yourself becoming lost in the music and the words
all melt away. Now WAKE UP!
Track 6 - Sexual Healin - Ahh You know whats up. After
Goodnight When we get that feelin we need... well you know
the rest. Smooth sounds propell this track through the night.
Just hit Repeat.
Track 7 - Sent To Me - I wanted to do a track featuring
bjork's vocalsso I snipped a couple riffs from the song
hidden place. Here is my new track . I have allways liked
Bjorks voice and her productions. Hope you do too.
Track 8 - Aldrin's Crazy Frog - If you are an internet
buff you know who the crazy frog is and so this is Aldrins
own crazy frog D&B track. the most annoying frog is
now available in Drum and Bass. enjoy :)
Track 9 - Whos Bad - By this time you know whos Bad. Aldrins
got the beats to keep you goin all night long but we have
reached the end of annother journey.
Track10 - Want my love - The final track is bringing down
the intensity of the music and preparing us for the ending.
The journey is over now but we will allways have the imagination
of our minds eye.
