Hi Everyone,
I am really excited to write this weeks blog. Sorry I haven’t written in a while but Iv’e been really busy travelling ,and saving up for all of the big announcements. THE NEW TM ALBUM IS HERE!!!!! But I’ll get back to that in a minute. First off I want to say what a great pleasure it was to visit Great Brittan with my family. Zen had a wonderful time in London. We all had an amazing time. Everyone was so nice and respectful. The people who ran the festival were very helpful and courteous. The Q and A was remarkable, and the audiences reception of The Birthday was overwhelming. What an inspiration to watch so many of you enjoying the film finally. It was also good to see Laura there, she has very pretty eyes. All of the English fans were great. I also liked the guy with the License to Drive tattoo. Now on to the big announcements.
So I have finally decided to release the new Truth Movement album as the first release from my new label CiFi records. Because it is my first time doing this it is going to be a VERY grass roots organisation. Meaning I am going to need ALL OF YOUR HELP! Henceforth the name Truth Movement, the truth is what we talk about, and the movement is what we do together. So how you can help, is by spreading the word that it’s coming, and as you get your copies, hoping you like them, you can then spread the word that it’s worth checking out. As a first ever release we will be doing the release in stages. The process should go something like this:
Official release date……November 25th 2008. On that day the album will go digital and be available on your typical download able sites such as itunes, ect. It is also the target date to get physical copies in stores but that may get delayed a bit. But have no fear…….YOU CAN PREORDER TODAY!!!!! As of now the CD is officially posted in the music store of the main site www.coreyfeldman.net. If you order your copy now you can get it before Thanksgiving. Just think what a perfect stocking stuffer. But here’s another great reason to order now……..THE FIRST 50 TMTA buyers will receive a brand new limited edition FREE TM T-SHIRT. Once youv’e completed your order with PAYPAL, come back to the blog, and leave your order number with your preferred shirt size (one per album) although we can’t guarantee the size as they will be limited. If you are one of the first 50 orders you will receive your shirt with your CD free of charge. Remember you must leave a blog entry with your order number and tshirt size.
Now let me give you some details about the album. First of all the album looks amazing. Storm Thorgerson’s artwork is truly breathtaking on AMAZINGLY GLOSSY 100% RECYCLED PAPER!! The CD comes in a Digipak that looks like an old album sleeve. Inside you will find a 10 page color booklet. With complete lyrics and credits, and again featuring Storm Thorgerson and Peter Curzon’samazing art. All in all Storm contributed 2 actual photographs (front and back cover) and 4 drawn renderings which all help depict the greater story of the album. Storm also created a new TM logo which will be featured in the new artwork. The package overall is worth the money alone, especially considering the packaging as a whole is 100% biodegradable and non earth damaging. We proudly spent a little bit extra to get 100% RECYCLED PAPER. CORN PLASTIC DISC TRAY (made of corn) and we even printed everything with SOY INK!! So essentially if you don’t like the album you can simply throw it in the Ocean and it will just go back to nature. Hopefully you’ll keep it……LOL…..now for the music.
The album consists of 13 tracks. Running almost an hour in length. The album tells a story, it has a beginning, middle, and an end. But it is very full circle which is to say it will leave you exactly where you start. You could describe the experience as a motion picture for your mind. Recorded in 5.1 Dolby digital and mastered at Capitol Records on the exact same board Dark Side of the Moon was created on.The album moves like a train moving through musical soundscapes of a collection of classic rock, R andB style songs, fused with trance/electronica and atmosphere creating a musical journey for the listener unlike any sounds you have heard together before. The track listing is as follows:
1. In The beginning
2. Ezekiels Wheels
3. Breezy Day
4. Me Not You
5. OK pt 1
6. OK pt 2
7 OK pt3 (final thoughts)
8. Disconnected
9. Crossed the Line
10. Believe
11. Coming Back Around
12. Green Is The Colour
13. Trust No One
This album I feel is my greatest artistic accomplishment.to date. I am not saying it is for everybody because it is not. I am just truly proud to have been a part of creating it. I however in no way did it alone. Truth Movement is a band of amazingly talented young LA based musicians. Starting with the sensational guitar and writing work from Rob Heskin. His solos are truly lingering. The drums are always in the pocket thanks to the very talented Chuck Erwin who also contributes to writing a song. The bass was performed by genius Executive Producer Andrew Bojanic. Background vocals by the soulful Liz Hooper. Then we have our guest artists……..
Very luckily we have Marc Karan back. Marc plays lead guitars on Breezy day and Disconnected and a few others. Marc first appeared on the first TM album over 10 years ago, doing most of the lead work on SSFS, but then went on to join Bob Weirs Rat Dog, playing and singing Jerry Garcias parts on the Grateful Dead songs. He also has amazing solo work, and we are lucky to have him back.
Next we have one of the greatest saxophonists I have ever had the pleasure of hearing. The great Scotty Page Scotty has worked with dozens of todays biggest names in music. Most poignantly Scotty performed with PinkFloyd for 3 years and recorded the Momentary Lapse of Reason album with them. He does an equally amazing job both starting and closing the album.
Next on the upbeat, dance song Crossed The Line we have the lovely and talented German pop star Nina Kristen singing the Choruses.
Finally, we were blessed with having a true genius grace our presence, with luck of persuading Jon Carin to join us. Jon who has performed/produced/written with the likes of Pink Floyd and The Who but has primarily been a member of Pink Floyd in every formation for the last 25 years. He is amazingly talented and lent endless creativity to this project. Jon co produced 2 of the tracks on the album, as well as co writing, and appearing on 7 tracks all together. Jon is the first male I have ever done a duet with on an album, and the result was well….Green!
This album is really for you the fans, and for the world as a whole. I was fortunate enough to stumble across this blog website www.itsuptoallofus.blogspot.com. It was the first words I have heard from outside feedback on the song and I must say I got a bit choked up reading it. Honestly THANK YOU from the BOTTOM OF MY HEART!!! Those are the MOST BEAUTIFUL things that have ever been said about my art and it MEANS THE WORLD TO ME!!!!!
So remember the ALBUM is NOW AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY through www.coreyfeldman.net FIRST 50 get a FREE T SHIRT!!!! I can’t wait to hear your thoughts once you have it.
One last note for the week. CONGRATULATIONS to RICHARD and LAUREN SHULER DONNER who received a star today on the Hollywood walk of fame. Susie and I were in attendance. It was great to see great people finally being recognised. If anybody deserves it……..They Do!
Well until next time…….
PEACE LOVE HAPPINESS
