Finally finished mixing my first full-length album
Rick Paul
I've been working on for almost ever (though most of the vocals were
recorded within the last 5 years, and about half of those in the last year,
some of the MIDI tracks for the arrangements go as far back as 1996). The
title will be "Love Holds On", and I've put up a SoundClick "user station"
to preview the entire album in order at:

I've still got to figure out what I'm going to do on artwork and liner notes
and such, and do some other admin and other work to actually get this out
the door (I'm targeting having CDs ready to go by a show I've got on July
12th, so timing is really tight, and I'll probably have it up on some of the
digital download stores somewhere between now and then, probably early July
for the first ones). However, it's already feeling like a big relief to
finally have the mixes done, as they have been a very long time in coming.

I listened several times, all the way through and it's clear you know how to
structure songs but the problem is that your hooks aren't memorable.
I've listened to it several times through and though pleasant/not painful ,
nothing is a standout track.
To make different songs stick in the memory it might be an idea to use
different singers - and it needn't cost you anything if you could
reciprocate on their albums.

Thanks for checking it out.
On your note on singers, maybe I'm just misunderstanding what you meant, but
this is intended to be my album as a singer-songwriter, not an album of song
demos. It's mainly something to sell at live shows, though hopefully also
via iTunes, AmazonMP3, and other outlets (including both CDs and digital
downloads).
