Where Are They Now?

One of the difficulties of being a "band" separated by several hundred miles is that it's sometimes hard to keep the momentum going. Well, we haven't gone anywhere, and granted our last attempt at progress was hindered, but rest assured we are not done. Personal lives have intervened for a moment, as life often does, but we will continue to work on new material, and eventually even put out that album - yes, the one fabled in song and story.

Meanwhile, we may be making a few changes in how we do things. I said it from the start, this is an experiment. I don't know if we'll continue using the creative commons license for now, but I do want our music to continue to be easily available and accessible. The major labels have had their day, and it's time the rest of us had ours. Many a debate has been waged in the halls of Slashdot about copyright, its benfits and ills, but for now I think we will lean in that direction and hope to enjoy the continued goodwill of anyone that might be listening by reassuring you that what has up till now been free to distribute non-commercial with attributions will continue to be so (we can't very well revoke the CC licenses we've already put forth and nor should we.)

And you're probably wondering, "what ever happened to Cycle Minus Two"? What's with this "album" thing? Well, we will continue striving to make cyclic releases the ultimate goal, but the album is still quite in vogue, at least among online retailers. It can quickly become prohibitively expensive for us to distribute, market and promote individual songs through certain (names shall not yet be mentioned) online music retailers due to the way in which they accept submissions for sale. In the short term at least, there will be albums, but Cycle Minus Two continues.

Encouragement, comments, suggestions, criticisms, vitriol and spite are all welcome, so long as they do not include spam, overt commercialism or falsehoods.

Well, maybe falsehoods are okay, but only if they're really, really good. Otherwise we'd best stick to truth, reality and things as they actually are.
