Forthcoming Album: The Outsider

Over the past few months, I have been hard at work on the next Chance’s End CD album. Building off of what Set Me Free started, this album will feature the violin front-and-center in the electronic production.

Sneak preview track! Listen to Production to Perfection:

<h4>Tentative track listing</h4>

  • Intro to The Outsider
  • Lintango

  • Ausencias
  • Silueta Portena
  • Production to Perfection
  • Encounter
  • Midnight Worker
  • Diamond In Disguise
  • 3 other untitled tracks

Several of you will recognize a few titles from the tango music of Argentina. It has always been a long-term goal to produce several Chance&#39;s End songs that people can dance tango to. Two of these tango covers, Oblivion and Ausencias written by Astor Piazzola, have been &quot;field-tested&quot; in Milongas around parts of California and given a very warm reception.

Those of you who enjoyed the breakbeat violin stylings in Traveler Alive and Going On from the last album will love Production to Perfection and Encounter. And tracks like Diamond in Disguise and two other untitled tracks bring in a downtempo trip-hop vibe into the musical mix.

The album is deep into production, and is tentatively slated for release near the end of 2007.
