howdy fellas, as my album is long sold out, i've decided to release the bonus track from my album "the mirror formula" for free. its 12+ minutes of fairly minimal ambient. get it at my website www.xerxes-music.com hope you like it cheers, .x

lots of live vs semi-live vs not live at all yet live discussion going around. personally, i dont care too much as long as the music presented is fresh and not just a playback of an album.. as for myself, i just put out a video of how i do live with my elctronica concept. check this thread: http://www.psynews.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=40100 cheers, .x

tracklist: prologue [from album] crush [unreleased] unnamed track [made specially for the bendik drumsolo] outro [unreleased and not really named yet either] hope this helps a little cheers, .x

yeh.. i would like to know this to. .x

well said! and good luck prosect .x

thank you fellas appreciate it! respectfully, .x

thank you fellas appreciate it! .x

dear friends, xerxesmusic.com (where my old site was hosted) was lost due to a few idiotic mistakes.. so i have moved and redesigned my site. you find it here: http://www.xerxes-music.com very simple design, but i think its easy to navigate. you will also find A LOT of free downloadable music there. so please let me know what you think note: IE (ofcourse) makes a few mistakes showing the ambient portion of the download section. the scroller looks a little weird. other than this all should be good. looks beste with firefox. if someone should test it with opera 9, let me know too. much respect and love, xerxes

the entire album (minus the 12 minute long bonus track and minus studio mixing/mastering) is available for free on my download site. its called xerxes-the_mirror_formula.mp3 (i think hehe).. xerxesmusic.tz4.com (download site) album sold out really fast as it was only a 300 copy limited edition. less than a month and it was gone. hopefully next one will be a bigger release with more distribution etc. thank you for your kind words, and keep listening much respect, .x

you are too kind! *blush*' my next album due in a year or so will be even closer to the ultimae sound.. in the mean time, expect a few tunes from me on various VAs and also free ones coming on my website very soon. once again, much gratitude for the inspirational words. respectfully, .x

after seeing it, i totally agree with you. if IM served me that live, i would seriously never listen to them again. .x

well, lets just say they are one of the biggest in the genre.. world fame like robbie williams is ofcourse overstating it a bit .x

awesome selections! most of those are shoe-ins for chillout.. but the dummy CD is also quite a gem for this.. .x

LOL! so true .x

i still like'em.. i think they have a unique sound. it is funny how people seem to dislike anyone who gets "too big".. i kinda understand. when you like an underground group/artist - you sort of have this "ownership" to them. but as soon as they get world fame, you lose that. but their music is still good. no doubt about it. .x
