ACCESSPASS UPDATE 08 MARCH, 2015
Cheers and thank you
Hey everybody, once again thanks to all of you for making this a very successful campaign so far. The fan support has been unbelievable and very gratifying to me and all those working on this with me.
Please look for some special videos coming this week from a few “special guests”. I will also be at Carvin/Kiesel Guitars on Tuesday in San Diego and will post an update then with my good friends Jeff and Mark Kiesel, owners of Carvin.
We will try to answer all of your questions over the next few weeks too. Sorry for slow response but I’m working hard in my new studio to get the first tracks completed for download. Coming soon!!!
And thanks for all the great memories from many of you that I’ve seen on tours over the years. A lot of beer under the bridge, ah ha!
All the best!
Thanks!!!!
Allan

ACCESSPASS UPDATE 01 MAY, 2015
New Track Coming Soon
GREETINGS everyone,
Just wanted to keep you posted as to what is happening. Here it is!
Because it has been “so long” since I released a studio record I have decided to release a brand new track from the New Studio Record.
Whilst this track will appear on the new album, it will be dramatically different. Therefore it will be a truly unique track, and only available to you, the Pledgers.
The piece of music I chose is a beautiful piece written by Virgil Donati and lends itself perfectly to multiple arrangements / versions.
The piece is called EARTH. This version features Jimmy Johnson on bass, Virgil Donati drums and myself on Guitar and Synthaxe.
Again thank you all so very, very much, for your tremendous support, it is truly appreciated.
All the very best wishes,
Allan

Clarfication
GREETINGS again everyone.
There seems to be some confusion about TALES FROM THE VAULT.
Let my try to clarify.
“Tales from the Vault” is a collection of previously unheard tracks that are
ONLY available to Pledgers. It will not be available to anyone else!
The idea is to give you guys eventually a full album’s worth of music revealed track by track “One By One”. Then, when there is approximately 1 hour of music it will also then be available as a fully mastered HI RES DOWNLOAD, CD and VINYL to Pledgers ONLY.
I am also (simultaneously) trying to complete a new studio recording of current material separate from the Vault music.
So as I said in my last post this “new” track will be added to the Vault, as its form is very different from the version on the “New” album and unique to Pledgers only.
Therefore ALL “Tales From The Vault” music will not be available elsewhere.
(Including this particular version of the new track.)
I hope this helps or maybe I am making it more confusing. I surely hope not.
Cheers for now, Allan.

ACCESSPASS UPDATE 17 JUNE, 2015
Greetings
GREETINGS everyone.
We are starting mixing on Wednesday for “Earth”, so it shouldn’t be too long now. Usually the first mix takes a little longer as it becomes the set up for the rest of the tunes, so they will come much quicker.
Anyway thanks again for all your support and your patience!
Best wishes to all, cheers for now.
Allan.

Sorry for the silence
GREETINGS everyone.
Virgil just returned from Australia, while he was there the engineer he was working with came up with some different plug in – eq stuff and Virgil was very pleased with them. So I am going to give them a listen and choose to make the switch or not. Also, just received the additional mixing console I needed to complete “Earth” and then the other tracks to come. Very very close to finishing the final master and then it will be yours. We will announce the release date early next week.
Anyway once again thanks for your understanding and patience.
Cheers for now, best wishes, Allan.

ACCESSPASS UPDATE 31 JULY, 2015
HELLO everyone
HELLO Everyone.
Well you will be happy to know we’re done! So you should be able to download next week. I really hope you like the music. The first track is “Earth” as has been announced. It was written by Virgil Donati (drums) and features Jimmy Johnson on bass as well. There will be two versions, one with and one without guitar solos. I think the solo-less version stands on its own. I hope that you will find it interesting as its own complete track.
Thank you so much for hanging in there. Your support has been so inspiring to me and means a lot to me and all of us working on this project. I am forever grateful.
More music to come!!
Best wishes,
Allan

From Allan about Earth
HELLO everyone.
I am so sorry this took so long, I wont go on with excuses.
I really do have a hard time with computer based recording. I am an old geezer used to another world. Anyway I hope you can enjoy the track. The reason I chose to do this first was simply because of the fact that it has been so long since I did a studio recording that I didn’t want to just dig up some older music (which actually may have been just fine). I decided to do an arrangement of Virgil’s tune Earth.
I found it compelling so I re arranged the tune (not the form that remained the same) just a little re harmonization here and there. So there you have it. The other version is very different as you will hear. In fact I think I arranged myself out of it because of all the cheese I put behind the guitar solo first (that I had to play around).
I had already done a previous solo that the computer didn’t like and torched it.
Oh well. Don’t be fooled by the short (largely diatonic) solo theres plenty of guitar on the rest of the tunes. I just loved the piece..thats what this was about.
Anyway on to the next tune. I may ditch the computer, still debating…
Thank you all so much for your support, I have no words,
Lots of love to you all,
Allan.

ACCESSPASS UPDATE 20 JANUARY, 2016
Allan Update January 20
Hello everyone.
Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa!
I profusely apologize for the delay with the next two tracks, Gas Lamp Blues and Lanyard Loop. As you probably know we were on the road for a bit with the Cruise to the Edge and a few gigs in Florida. I have also been struggling with converting my digital recording setup back to analog. There have been many hiccups along the way but I have finally silenced the gremlins.
As many of you know by now, I take a long time. Far too long in this case and I do truly apologize. I always want things to be “just” right and I labor over the smallest things. Things that perhaps only I hear. (HaHa.) And since other than “Earth” I have not released any new music in such a long time, I am trying to make these tracks the best I’ve ever done, especially for all of you who’ve been so supportive in this process. It has meant a lot to me. Truly.
So, thank you again for your tremendous patience. It’s my fault and no one else’s. My team will update you asap as to when the new tracks will be coming. I promise “soon”.
Also we will update all the merchandise issues this week as well.
Hope to see some of you at NAMM at the Carvin booth on Saturday.
Plus, I would like to wish you all a fantastic and belated Happy New Year.
Cheers for now,
Allan.
