We have finished up the “INTO THE CALM” E.P. which will be free to download, we decided on having it distributed through Bandcamp so all we ask for is a valid Email address and the release is yours.  We are currently awaiting the pressed CD’s to come int he mail so all you fans of a hard copy of the album can get one.  The artwork was done by Charlene this time around and came out really cool.  I will update you on the release date when available.  Also watch the offical BF/E website for track-listing and artwork teasers.

We recently had our track “GENTLE DELAY” from “MEDIA MOTEL” as a free donwlaod on the Microsoft Windows 7 Playlist webiste.  We got about 50 downloads and it was alot of fun to let people hear that track escpecially when it is free and one of my favs.

Have you added yourself to our EMAIL LIST?  This is important that you sign up  so you can get BF/E updates first!  Our newsletter goes out about once a month and is always the first thing I do when I have something imortant to tell our fans.  http://www.reverbnation.com/blindfaithandenvy?add_email=true

I have been slowly weening off of Myspace because of the massive amount of spams and lack of real communication with fans, it seems to have become more of a spammers paradise versus a community to network.  So if you contact me there it will be tough to sift theough our 250 messages to see anything important.

That is it for now! Or until next week.

• As of  lately I have been really into Gmedia VSTi software , normally I am not really into to much really vintage sounds but this specific plug in (ODDITY) has been keeping me super busy with sound creation, there is not one preset that sounds good but if you take your time with this one you can create some monster synth sounds.

• I am wishing lately I still had my Ensoniq VFX SD synth, I recently found my old disks and still have the sequencer disk which without it the keyboard is mostly worthless, nowadays you can get them on eBay for about $300 which I do not have, oh did I mention they weight a ton!!! Like 75 pounds, not exactly a live keyboard.

BF.E

I have been routinely working on new music for our new album, getting some vocals recorded and produced and just tweaking the music, I have about 10 songs for a new album and I am not sure if I will leave it at that or not, depends on the other multitude of projects.

I have started a new band which I do not call a side project since I care for it very much, I will keep you updated on its progress and when and where you can check it out, I will be doing vocals on this and the sound of these tracks are very dark. As you know already BF/E has done some darker music but I do plan int he future to bring BF/E back to the roots and do another sythpop style album. This is just a plan no guarantees.

You can look forward to our Remixes and Rarities CD to come out soon, I will keep you updated on where and when that will be released also. There are a ton of tracks on this and you can get more info. about it at www.blindfaithandenvy.com

Just so you know, in case you did not know already out TWITTER USER NAME IS: bfae – follow us if you have an account.

Talk to you soon.

Vocals have been very cool for this album because we are working a bit different, Charlene has been doing most of her own recording and I have been sitting back working on demoing music and not trying to finish the tracks before vocals are laid out. Usually I try to create the whole track from beginning to end with superb quality and texture until the track would be almost be done. This time I have been taking a more normal approach and doing empty style demos and vocal then some vocal demos.

So far things have been going smooth! Work flow is going fast and we have been promoting the heck out of the remix release “MY LIFE IS ORDINARY REMIXED”. Check it out on iTunes if you have not yet heard it.

I am putting some finishing touches on the Remix and Rarities CD so look out for that soon.

I am a bit exhausted being in the studio lately, it has been hectic for me since I trying to push out a bunch of side projects, as you may know I am a metal lover and have taken a few years off to do BF/E. So now it is time to throw some projects together and get back to being brutal. Anyway BF/E is always number 1 but doing electro music for me does not always come natural. (although some tell me different). So in the last month I have written and recorded 10 tracks for a death metal project (not named) and I have been heavily promoting our new digital release “My Life Is Ordinary Remixed”. CLICK HERE TO BUY IT!

Charlene was in the studio doing some vocal recordings, came out well and I am looking forward to working with it.  It is a really deep vocal performance for a “She’s Left In Silence” style track so that so look out album number 4!  (Our 4th coming full length will not be released for some while but we like to keep you updated).

We are also completing our Remixes and Rarities CD which has some killer artwork and 17 tracks.  Wewww, I always wanted to do a rarities albuma nd now finally here it comes.  I imagine sometime in  November or December.  This will be released on CD and Digital distribution sites like iTunes and Verizon wireless.

Talk to you soon!

As of recent we have been in the studio getting as much done as possibly can, the reason I am doing this is so I can do some long awaited side projects in a much different genre. As of now we are awaiting the “MY LIFE IS ORDINARY” remix release to get up on iTunes, this has just been mastered here at my studio and now it is a waiting game. I will make it available when I am informed.

Second I have put together the Remixes and Rarities CD and this will be a full release, CD and digital. This is in the process of being mastered and selecting order, there are 17 tracks on this CD so there is alot to choose from. The artwork is already finished.

Third, this was kind of a secret of a release but now that I am finished with the tracks I have done 10 instrumentals for a future instrumental release which is not titled as of yet. I will be mastering this release soon, not sure yet on the date.

We have started work on our 4th studio release which will of course be worked on for the next good while and we will keep you up-to-date. As of now we have 1 track with full vocals and another track in the vein of “She’s Left In Silence”, it has some demo vocals along with killer choir synth.

Anyway this is the quick version of the original update, I think I got most of it! Since the site went down I thought I would get some of the studio updates available.
