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.

Gravity Tree Newsletter delays + MySpace music

Gravity Tree is having issues with one of the main service providers that assists them with the regular newsletter. If you haven't seen anything recently in your inbox, this would be the cause.

If you are on our new format mail list, everything is fine and you should see a newsletter over the holiday weekend. If you're on our old list (N1M), you might want to sign up for the new one (and get our song Falling in 3s for free as well).

signup.gravitytree.com

But the band is hard at work on new music, to be sure.

Also, you can now hear 22 Gravity Tree songs at full-length, on MySpace.
There are links in the playlists to allow you to purchase any song or album as well (through Amazon.com).

There are links to one of the main playlists...

...and to the song page...

This has been a long time coming, and we're very happy to finally have it in place. (btw, the main music player on www.myspace.com/gravitytree may not have these links yet. They reside on new song and album pages MySpace has set up.)

We hope your holidays continue to be safe and happy.

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!

Rhapsody and the Delay Effect

We're happy to announce that after a long delay in posting, followed by technical issues, "Building" is now ready to play and download on Rhapsody! Here's the short link:

http://bit.ly/dmMvZX

Thanks to CDBaby for help with this issue, and to Rhapsody for resolving it on their end in timely fashion.

We should tell you that this and other events had caused us to delay any further music releases. We know some of you have been waiting awhile, and we wanted you to know what has been going on to cause this delay.

We have been concerned about releasing more downloads for a myriad of reasons, and several things led to the delay: Tech issues at Rhapsody and other sites; the 'new' and possibly unstable overhauls going on with sites like MySpace and others; and some recent issues with distribution. (It didn't help that Alan injured himself, causing him to stay off the drums for a number of weeks. Getting back up to speed took a little longer than expected - there is no excuse for sloppy drum tracks!)

Bottom line: It's no good for us to tell you new music is out, and then discover it isn't working right, or isn't available as promised. Our confidence that we had a working pipeline to all our listeners was low. So rather than frustrate you, we put on the brakes, and decided to work on what we could fix, and wait on what we couldn't.

But that's behind us. We're encouraged that things are moving forward with stores and our distributors, and feel better about releasing new music soon. We'll be focusing on getting the songs (and some new merch) out to you in the near future, and our fans and friends who get our newsletter will get a heads-up in advance, and early access before everyone else.

We're working on the release of at least 2 new songs before the end of the year, and some cool merch too. So stay tuned.

Thanks for listening!

3rd Gravity Tree song on Jango internet radio

A third Gravity Tree song has been added to the track list on Jango internet radio .

http://bit.ly/bkeHqo

When you 'tune in' (it's free), you can hear the song "Wait", in addition to "Aim to Please" and the latest G.T. song, "Building".
"Wait" was originally released on the album Ultimate Backward.

Last year a newly remastered version of "Wait" appeared on the special holiday compilation album, "A Very Progressive Christmas, Vol. 1" from Melodic Revolution Records. (Now that the holidays are - unbelievably - about to roll around again, you can grab the album or single download(s) from Mindawn.)

But you don't need to buy a thing: just head over to Jango, and listen to "Wait" and 2 other Gravity Tree songs...for free.

New Gravity Tree music page on Facebook

We've recently added a new page on our Facebook profile. Among other things, it has a music player, links to our website, and other goodies. It's a long url, so we have a nice short version here:

http://bit.ly/9axqi1

Right now the music has mostly clips, but you can hear full length versions of our latest song, "Building", plus a remastered version of "Falling in 3s", and an old favorite (practically a different style altogether, wouldn't you agree?) Minnies Tree.

Here's some trivia: Minnies was actually the very first song Gravity Tree released, way back in the mid-'90's...on red vinyl! The song was eventually re-mixed and included on the album Life or Dessert?.

We'll be getting more full-length tracks from Ultimate Backward up on Facebook for you to hear and stream as soon as we can.

And remember, you can get our song Aim to Please as a free download by signing up over here.

Gravity Tree Store at Amazon here, Amie Street gone

As some of you have probably realized, our links to our pages at Amie Street Music (amiestreet . com) now lead to Amazon.com. Amie Street was recently acquired by Amazon, and the changeover took place this morning (09/22). We are in the process of changing our links and removing the Amie Street banners and players from our sites.

You can always find our music at the Gravity Tree Store at Amazon, at these links:

or:

Plus, our latest song download, Building, is here:

This was of course out of our control, but we know it's a bit confusing. We apologize, and thank you again for listening!
