Tim Steinruck is a man with good friends. This album was recorded throughout 2007, with the assistance of some of them, and as a result, the album is more of a friend, than a project. Unforgettable moments, hours of hard work, a supersonic rhythym section, held together by a vision, and a purpose, deliver 'real life' songs. The single "Reprieved", being the first of his "friends" to be pushed into the light, has also been recorded in German, (and is waiting at the end of the disc for you).
Friends are what we can measure our lives by. And, as I mentioned, help us through our visions. Some of the "good friends" that lent not only talent, but moments that made our sides hurt from laughter were:
Devin Townsend (Devin Townsend Band, Strapping Young Lad) Production: "Repreived" and subsequently mixed the rest of the album. The English version of "Reprieved" was mixed by Mike Fraser (AC/DC, Aerosmith, Metallica, Cult, Rush) at Warehouse Studios in Vancouver. The powerful drums were provided by Ryan Van Poederooyen (Devin Townsend Band, Terror Syndrome) recorded at Armoury Studios in Vancouver. There are stellar special guest appearances from Dave Young (keyboards) and Mike Young (bass) of The Devin Townsend Band, Terror Syndrome and Ten Ways From Sunday . A gifted guitarist, programmer and remixer Dan Kearley ( Frontline Assembly, Sekoya, Kearley) does some amazing programming and a cool solo. Lorne Seaton provides additional guitars, some amazing solos, and ate Tim's cooking.
The process of building this record was challenging, but "at the end of all things", gives us purpose, and a deep gratitude to all. Now it's time to take the message to the World because... We all are One. The album will be available through the 26-8 Productions website that will launched begining of 2008. TheMightyOne logo, website, Myspace page and album artwork were all designed by Geoffrey Rousselot Design
you see, friends are forever, and Tim is a fortunate, and kind soul, who deserves our respect. He's earned it.
Check out the tracks, you'll agree.
