The Vool Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Instrumental-Jam-EP As you all know we started to work with Marsen as our singer and will continue on recording vocal tracks for our next record, for which we’re currently writing a lot of new songs. We’re really enjoying the process, but we’re realizing that we have so many ideas that we have to collect and record them. This is when we had the idea of recording a LIVE-JAM INSTRUMENTAL EP exclusively for our biggest fans and supporters. We want to lock ourselves in the recording studio for a couple of days and just start playing. And when we say Jam-EP we mean it. This EP will be recorded live, there will be no arranging of the songs, the tracks will be created spontaneously without any preparation, pre-production, etc. Just LDC with its authentic & most intense live energy and back to our instrumental origins additionally with Marsen on synthies, electric sounds and keyboards. We want to start this project right after our tour through Europe in February 2014. As we are in the lucky position that our last record deal just expired and the new one is only to be signed later this year, we founded our own label “Avoid The Light Records” for this project and will contain full creative power over the whole process. The Jam-EP is for our fans that have supported us over the last years and that is why we want to realize this EP together with YOU! It will be a limited exclusive edition with only 500 vinyl and 1000 Digipack-CD’s available. That is how it works: If you’re new to pledge, the way it works is, you pay for the production of the music you want to get made, i.e., you buy the record before it’s made, so that it CAN be made! Your contribution will help pay for the studio, mixing and mastering as well as the cover artwork and pressing the CDs and vinyl. We must reach our target amount until the 25th of February 2014 in order to make this happen. After reaching 100% the money will be withdrawn from your account and we can make this project become reality. We would record the EP in early March and release it in April or May latest. If we reach our goal we can start realizing our project and be able to record the EP. If we don’t reach our goal there will be no Jam-EP. In this case there will be no costs for YOU. Every supporter will receive a download of the EP and exclusive updates of our working process in the studio. So they will be part of the development of our Jam-EP. The EP will only be available on pledgemusic.com and in our Onlineshop. All prices are inclusive shipping costs. Dearest fans and supporters, it all depends on you! Be part of our project and support us.

drds89 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 hmmm, looks interesting... I prefer the instrumental LDC above the latest record. +2 Their band direction/philosophy which they laid right out there for everyone to understand before LDC (paraphrased: We are not postrock or progressive metal snobbish crap writers like others in the genres; we write music accessible to 'everyone' and it will be obvious) pretty much sounded the death knell for me and LDC. I appreciate their forthrightness though in what they think of the genres, though sadly stereotypical and I disagree. Well, not every fan and band can go in lockstep. They need to move in the direction that is best for them. They have significantly changed their bio statement since 2011: http://www.longdistancecalling.de/read/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omik11303 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I love Avoid the Light, but nothing since has really resounded with me. Oh well, I suppose I'll end up checking this out regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drds89 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I guess their 'biggest fans' liked them when they were instrumental and not ashamed of not having regular vocals ergo, 'instrumental jam' is born (maybe to gauge how many they've completely turned away for good) i will listen first many times before buying, because of their previous statements, and only if totally slain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3TA-BIRD Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Don't get me wrong. I don't mind LDC with vocals. Actually "The Nearing Grave" (with Jonas Renkse) from "Avoid The Light" is one of my favourite songs. In most of their instrumental work there is no need for vocals, the guitars tell a story of their own. Musically the modern LDC still sounds great but Martin Fischer is not vocally up to the standard of LDC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
