First known review of 'Kyna' up at No Life 'til Metal

...along with a BITCHEN looking overhaul of the TROGLODYTE DAWN page! Thanks for removing that hideous pic of me that I begged you to post in the first place, ult!

Yip yer man in Victoryzine nailed it right on the head with that review, you couln't trust that reviewer on Nolifetilmetal, doesn't know what he talks about half the time. ha ha.

Is this CD still available ? when they label it as Ambient is that similar to the band Penitent ? my expertise with this genre is very limited, but I am interested in expressing a change.

That's your band? Hahaha. I've always thought that band name was awesome!

Not really a review, just a few thoughts.

Good update, by the way, ult. Me likey. You should try Soulmotor's second album. I think it's the better of the two.

I've never heard Penitent, so I can't answer your question, but I have a 4:00 sample of the 18:00 piece posted on MySpace if you want to hear it: http://www.myspace.com/troglodawn

Here are some more ambient bands I dig, if you're interested:

TANGERINE DREAM: http://www.myspace.com/tangerinedream1967
(check out "Origin of Supernatural Probabilities")

BRIAN ENO: http://www.myspace.com/ambientlegend
(check out "An Ending Ascent" - man! I forgot how much I love his music!!!)

Isn't that basically all a review is anyway?

Yes, they are made to order cdr's, but they are quite well done if I do say so myself.

Yes they are VERY well made. That Trog feller's pretty darn talented I must admit.

Plus I suggest anyone whose musical horizons reach only as far as keyboard driven symphonic dungeons and dragons background music snooze-fests, should give the fair Trog's Kyna a shot. It's very interesting and will introduce you to how music can still be challenging and not the stagnant same ol' same ol'.

Oh yeah, the first album is very good as well......

Haven't listened to Kyna in awhile. I need to put it on.

Thank you, sir.

And thanks to spec for the kind words as well - glad you like it and thanks for listening.

What's the difference between a cd-r and I suppose a "professional cd", how much difference in quality?

Audio geeks will tell you they can hear a difference...your average human cannot.

And I'll also state that Trog's discs are packaged very well...

Yeah, the Trogster always knew how to pack 'em!
