Our Prog Rock on Spotify

This was Tweeted out some time ago, but the blog is finally being updated: Gravity Tree has the song Building and the album Ultimate Backward on Spotify.

Here's a link and a Gravity Tree Spotify playlist...

You might also be interested in hearing one of Alan's soundtrack cues called Afloat, which is now also available on Spotify. It's a sort of ambient-beat synth piece - not prog, but a cue from Alan's soundtrack music catalog - what he does when he's not writing for Gravity Tree.

Aim to Please on AiiRadio.net

Beginning this week, you'll be able to hear Aim to Please by tuning in to web radio www.aiiradio.net.

Aiiradio is a web site/station that serves up a lot of tasty independent progressive music (as well as a bit of comedy). We've been giving it a listen of late and liked what we heard, so we were pretty excited when they approached us to put our songs in rotation.

Aim to Please is the first song of ours to be featured on aiiradio.net, but we're sure it won't be the last, and we hope to have more songs from Ultimate Backward included in their prog rock programming. They also have a chatroom and forums, as well as the live streaming. Make sure you tune in and check out all the cool prog rock tuneage...head over to their site for all the details.

Wait, Remastered, Now Available as FLAC, MP3, AAC

It is the holiday season once again! With Black Friday behind us, and Cyber Monday (plus who knows how many other 'sales events') at hand, you are most likely picking and pondering over gifts and lists. Perhaps you are wrestling over what to get that picky music listener who may already own the entire King Crimson, Yes and/or Flower Kings catalogs. We have a couple of ideas...

Melodic Revolution Records has released Vol.2 of A Progressive Christmas, which features some great, modern prog bands, and even a little Vivaldi. We encourage you to check it out.

Also of note to our fans, the Gravity Tree Ultimate Backward instrumental "Wait", which was featured on the original Melodic Revolution Records release, "A Very Progressive Christmas, Vol.1", is available again this year. Our song was carefully remastered especially for this holiday album. Here's a direct link to the new "Wait" page:

You can listen to the song full-length, as well as all the songs from both volumes, at Melodic Revolution Records' web pages.

You will find "Wait" available in several download formats (your choice at download), including MP3, Ogg Vorbis, AAC, and FLAC. For the audiophiles in our ranks, this FLAC file is about as close to our original master as anything we've heard so far in a compressed format file.

Be sure to check it out.

Thanks for listening, and happy holidays!

Beta Napster has Gravity Tree prog rock

Anyone check out the new Beta version of Napster? For the most part, we like the new layout, especially the darker color scheme (for those who care ;-o). btw they actually pay artists for downloads now - it's completely legit these days.

Anyway, you can find most of our music there. We say 'most', because the new downloads like Building are exclusive to other sites, like our own webstore.


So if you like to get your music from Napster, be sure to check us out over there.

Okay, back to the studio to work on those new songs...

Any prog rock fans in the house?

What better way to say hello than to mix music genre slang. Except to say, hello and welcome to the OFFICIAL Gravity Tree blog. But wait, why does this blog exist? And who writes this thing?

The second question first: Some of you know me as GravityDrmmr. Other folks call me Alan. I participate in a music group (as there are all kinds of groups, I had to specify it as music in nature) called Gravity Tree. We play a fairly non-commercial blend of guitar-drenched noise many folks call progressive rock, or prog rock, if you will. Some call it art rock, avant-prog, or any number of other things but by now you've gotten the idea.

There are a number of reasons why we decided to come late to the blog party and start one of these things.
One was that I wanted a place to communicate to fans and interested bystanders without all the usual glitter, hype, pomp and what-have-you. So there aren't any flashing banners, pop-ups or swirling advertisements insisting that you buy our stuff or someone else's.

Another reason was that we didn't really have a stand-alone blog. There's a news page on our website, but the site's gotten fairly large and there are other more interesting pages to be found there. We have a blog on MySpace, but we're finding a number of fans just aren't on MySpace or just don't like it up there. This blog is for those folks.

I'll try to keep it up-to-date with any really critical band news. But mostly I'll probably ramble on about music, ours and others. We'll see where this goes.

For now, thanks for stopping by. Talk at you soon.
