about

Welcome to our 4th album Inside the Hurting. I will say right now that this will polarize! This is quite an oddity in the discography for a variety of reasons. Firstly, it is one of only 2 albums where everything is entirely digital: there are no acoustic instruments at all. Everything is played using the legendary Korg 01W/FD. Anything that even remotely sounds like a guitar was played with a MIDI guitar.

The MIDI guitar, in fact, was the sole reason for this album as I wondered if I could write and record something using just the two instruments. The whole thing was written, recorded mixed and mastered in the space of seven days, completed 10th December 1993. At that time I had a DAT machine, so everything was mixed to a stereo pair using the keyboards sequencer and recorded straight to digital tape. As a result, the recording quality is light years ahead of the stuff recorded onto cassette.

And what of the songs? Well, if you approach with an open mind I think you might like them or at least appreciate them as an example of what one man could do with one keyboard and a MIDI guitar in 7 days! I'm rather fond of it and it has the added bonus of being relatively short!

I had 100 copies pressed on cassette (in two batches) and if you have one (or the first CD), drop me a line and claim your free upgrade!

In The Shadows

Great progressive rock from Rick Miller. Plenty of flute, vocal harmony, and strong guitar work. While many prog rockers are very uneven across their albums, Rick's characteristic songwriting approach never lets down but delivers a solid, consistent approach. Highly recommended! Dogger Dog
