This week's summary finds Linc working on guitar solos and parts for one of the new songs, and Alan working out a bridge on another.
Gravity Tree are also posting more music from the first 2 CDs on some of the newer sites and music shops, so if you're missing something and want MP3s, be sure to check out the band's music at Boost in the next few weeks or so.
That's one of the places all the new music will be posted, and where you can already find the latest Gravity Tree song, "BUILDING".
More next week...

As our friends on Twitter (http://twitter.com/gravitytree) suspect, and fans who take our newsletter already know, Gravity Tree is in the midst of work on no less than 5 new songs. While we've made some good progress on one especially, we're withholding a release date for a little longer, as drummer/keyboardist Alan splits his time between band recording and a remix project (we'll talk about that in the future).
All the new material will ultimately be available on the next full length album. Many will be available beforehand as digital singles at shops like Boost Independent Music. One of the reasons we're at Boost music is because they offer such a good deal on MP3 downloads - as low as 69 cents US. Here's a link to our Boost page:

note here or comment on our MySpace page.
Thanks for listening.

Station IDs
Several weeks ago now Gravity Tree was asked to do a 'station ID', if you will, for a progressive rock website. So if you're listening to Power of Prog and you hear us talking at you, don't be too surprised.
We're back to work on new songs after unexpected delays that kept Alan out of the studio for about a month. Four new songs are in the works and barring any further delays, the first of them should make it to download sites in the next few weeks. Look out for it!

Gravity Tree in 2009: A Last Look
As we say goodbye to 2009, we remember some fairly amazing things that happened for us. It's been a busy year for Gravity Tree, and we hope it was a good year for all of you.
Way back in February we released a 3-song EP (for free! Drop us a note if you've been a fan and didn't get it);
In the spring and over the summer we hit some big numbers on the music sites, including one million plays on the Progressive chart at NumberOneMusic; and were making some good progress again at last, on writing and recording for the new album.
In September, we released a brand new song, "Building", as a web-only download (you have your copy, right?). Among other things, it hit #1 in its genre on RadioIndy, and #6 on the NumberOneMusic.com progressive chart. Yeah, we were surprised too - should we be worried?
http://bit.ly/3yeajr
At the end of November, we released a newly remastered version of our song "Wait" appearing on Melodic Revolution Records' new holiday compilation disc, "A Very Progressive Christmas: Vol. I". ("A Very Progressive Christmas" was the fifth compilation disc we've been a part of over the last seven years.) As of this writing, it is still in the Top 5 selling albums at the Mindawn music site. We were honored to be included, and hope you've had a chance to check out the sonically superior new version of the song. If not, it's still available for download here:
http://bit.ly/7EtONp
The end of the year finds us at work on more new songs. With all of this going on (plus trying to catch a little sleep once in a while, teach a guitar lesson, or write some new music for someone else), we've learned our lesson about guessing when music gets done; and will let you know as soon as we have a firm release date.
Which brings us to the end our quick look back at 2009. Now we can look forward to giving you some bold new progressive music to match what we hope will be an exciting new year.

BTW, if you're really interested in we do, join the street team and help us tell everyone about this crazy music. (In return, you'll get free stuff.)

Our prog rock is now on iLike
Progressive rock duo Gravity Tree (that's us!) is now on iLike. "Life or Dessert?", our first CD, is there now, and songs from the CD "Ultimate Backward" should show up soon. You can also 'Like' our songs on Facebook, and it appears Purevolume has adopted a similar voting method, if not the same.
So make sure you stop by and 'like' us. Here's the link to our music on iLike:

Also: we will soon be posting news about a holiday-themed compilation disc, so look for that on our next blog in the next few days (a week or so?)...
Until then, don't forget to 'Like' us on iLike, Facebook, or Purevolume.

Amazon has lower price on LOD
Our 1st progressive rock CD, "Life or Dessert?" has been at Amazon.com for some time, but they've just dropped the price to $7.99 US. That's a physical CD, and we were sort of surprised that they actually have it in stock (since we pretty much don't).
Here's the link:
http://bit.ly/4qCzp
BTW they also have downloads of all the songs from LOD and its avant-prog follow-up, "Ultimate Backward". Right now, however the "Life or Dessert?" CD is actually cheaper than the download!
Still, CDs are great for gifts, as the holidays are rolling up (somehow, already!).
Happy shopping.
