Default Guitar Instrumental Progressive Rock Album is OUT!!!

Hello to all my friends!
After a long two years, I have finally finished and released my new all Guitar Instrumental Progressive Rock Album called "Mother Earth".



The idea for the album and the songs came from the problems with global
warming and the planet being destroyed by ourselves
...
I have no intention to preach Green Peace ideas, but I do not deny that I
am passionate about these problems. I decided to connect my art with this theme which
has to be the most important in the public space.. (I dream it). That
is how the name of the album was born.

The album is entirely composed, recorded and mixed by me.
It contains 11 songs again that are arranged thematically.

You can download some of my guitar chains-patches in my web site - the sound patches section. Also Very soon I will provide backing tracks to play with.


You can purchase the CD from my web site http://nalbantov.com through Pay Pal. After a few weeks it will be available in CD Baby and Itunes

Samples at my web site http://www.nalbantov.com. There are also 3 full songs for download.
http://www.myspace.com/diminalbantov

I hope you will like the music made by me!

With much respect,
Dimitar

I'd like to purchase a CD from your site - however, I have a question. May I humbly request an autograph copy, if possible? I hope I am not putting you on the spot. I’m a big boy, so if you say no, I understand. Thanks Dimi..

Wow, I love the songs on your page, you are a very talented player that doesn't just rely on blazing speeds. When I get some spare cash I am definately going to pick up the album. Congratulations on finishing it up!

not totally into it, but i do appreciate that fact that you have some real emotion that shows through.

many players seem to lack this, and i certainly have played next to people who concern themselves more with flash and sfx than raw emotion.

real crowdpleasers for sure, but not much substance.

nice work.

I was going to get the Itunes download, as I said on the Revalver forum. But I can't wait, so I've just ordered the CD.

I agree with Jason. There's real emotion in your playing.

It's the expressiveness in your playing that impresses me the most.

Really good tunes!
Did you record all guitars using Revalver?
I downloaded the demo after reading another thread here and I am impressed on how well this sounds.
Will get the album as soon as I can.

Glad you liked the production!!!

The album is recorded fully in a software environment, and the only "live"
instruments are the guitar and the bass guitar. All the rest are samplers and software synthesizers. For the drums I used EZdrummer® , XLN Audio - Addictive Drums. All the guitars are recorded with software amp simulators, for example:
Revalver MK II and Revalver MK3, Aradaz Green and Crunch free ware vst amps, Nick Crow Simple Guitar Combo and Juicy 77 Hi Gain Amp.
All the rest of fx used for the mixing come from Cubase 4/ I started the whole project in Cubase before 2 years/...., Voxengo plugins, Schwa Plugins and a lot of free ware plugins. I did the mastering by myself too, using Reaper this time with the help of Nebula 3 plugin including some of the greatest sampled mastering EQ devices. I used Glip cliper for level maximizing and Voxengo Elephant 2 for limiting. Exported Cue track from Reaper too for CD recording
I know it would probably have been better to have someone else do it, but that was the situation and I had to make it by myself.

Congratulations!
It takes a lot of work to get an album done, especially if you do it all yourself.

Exceptional! My only comment would be that there are too many Vai influences.

Dimi, this is some fine work. I like the intelligence of your arrangements. They are both melodic and dynamic. But the best thing is that you are using your substantial skills to show off the music, and not using the music to show off your skills (the fault of too many shredders). Both arrangements and playing remind me of Jan Cyrka. The recording quality is great too. Many congratulations, and good luck on album sales.

Nice! This fits in well with what I've been listening to recently (some Bozzio, Levin, Stevens along with Steve Steven's Memory Crash and Lindsey Buckingham's latest) Some incredible playing in there dimitar, I dig the concept as well. Excellent work!
