Fresh outta oven! Come and get it while it's hot! :)
Here's the message from ginjineko himself.
--------------------------------------------
The album was recorded on Gibson Les Paul 92 (a.k.a. Skull) powered by the special hand-wound pickups "SAYTONE" by Saitou Gakki Koubo, except for the backing part of Re:START, which was recorded on Line6 Variax JTV-59.

As for the Amp simulator, Line6 POD HD 300 and 500 only.
Mixed and mastered using EZ MIX1,2 by Crypton Future Media.

This EZ MIX is just off the chain!
Just one click and your sound is all enhanced to the professional level.
The sound to apply with each track is of course superb but I personally love the plugin for master.
The wall of guitar sound on L and R, which you hear often on HR/HM tunes can be set up by this single plugin.
If you wanna boost up your acoustic pressure, just use the multi band comp. and you are all done.
My guitar itself of course sounds super better thanks to SAYTONE pickups, but thanks to POD HD, my sound is now almost "simulator smell" free. Added to that, I've got this monster software called EZ MIX for brush up.
I'm sure my work sounds millions of times better now.
By the way, I use Elixir (09-46) for the strings.
As you might have noticed, I covered the classical tune "Canon" this time.
I wanted to show respect for JerryC who became the trigger to restart my music activities once again and it also means "origin" and "challenge".
I hope you all enjoy Canon -ginjineko ver.
Here are some notes for each tunes.
Brand New World
The longest tune record! 8:35!
The brand new world now revealed.
Loud And Blues
It's the title tune.
Also the answer to the hand-made sticker on my guitar, which has been there for more than 20 years.
Cross Road
I originally wrote this tune for the seminar at Music Fair 2011 presented by Crypton Future Media.
The event was held on 2011 Oct.
Song of Our Days
It was originally a track called "STF (Song to Fly)", which I created before I started ginjineko activities.
My partner khaluah created the melody and the lyrics and the track was reborn as a song called "Song of Our Days".
I rearranged that vocal version as instrumental.
SHINE
I wrote this song for the collaboration with the guitar player Mr. Fumiyoshi Kamo, when we did the interview for Ritto Music.
Canon
Challenge to the origin of my all.
Moon Stone
All played by the acoustic guitar.
The melody is the pure 1-take miracle.
8
The main melody repeats as if infinity.
Perfect for marching band performance...?
RE:START
This was the tune I composed the first in 2012.
It's the fresh restart.
I've been thinking for a long time if I should make this tune the track No.1.
Enjoy!
Sincerely,
Your "Big Cat", ginjineko
