Kuno's Dream Album Release - September 20, 2010. 2:30AM

We have finally released the Kuno's Dream album.

You can download the whole album over at http://www.kunosdream.com.

Recommended tracks are to see the stars again, the colourless generation, defeat the sun, and you will see.

The album was recorded in the winter of 2007-2008 over two jam sessions.

Our first session was on October 13, 2007. We had never played together before, but something just 'clicked' as soon as we powered up our amps and pressed record. I brought some riffs I had come up with, and Joe brought his improvisational magic. We recorded 'defeat the sun' within minutes of getting together, with drums added in a later session. Later that day we put together 'you will see', and another track or two.

Our second recording session, on January 12th of 2008, continued the theme of the first session: a pre-meditated riff here or there, with the really good bits resulting from random experimentation. That day we recorded the first and last tracks of the album, which have the same main riff in them. We started the day recording the opening track from the album, and before Joe left for the day I said let's do that one again. We did, and joe's equipment started giving him hell toward the end of the recording, but we pulled out of it by working with the difficulties and letting it ride. The resulting recording finishes out the record, completely unedited. Somewhere in the middle there Joe sat on the floor with his amazing delay peddle skills and toyed around with the drum and keyboard samples from a toy piano piped through the pedal. While he did this, I pulled a haunting underlying theme out of the air on the midi keyboard. The result of that divine moment of experimentation was 'to see the stars again', another unedited track on the album.

After listening to rough mixes of our first two jam sessions here and there, I found myself mentally arranging a play order for an EP. Around that time I rediscovered E.M. Forsters amazing short story 'The Machine Stops', and listened to the tracks while reading. The music provided a decent sound track for the short story, and so I proposed we name our band after the protagonist in the story, Kuno. Joe agreed. Song titles are lifted from themes in the story, and if nothing else, we hope your interest is piqued enough to go read the story for yourself.

Mixing did not go as well as recording, as our software was limiting us, and mixing is tedious and boring. Now, nearly 3 years later, we've decided to publish the album as is, flaws and all. A few tracks were mixed to completion, but many remain basically untouched from the raw recording.

We hope you enjoy the album.
