Album Notes

BLUE is a rabidly independent solo recording artist. He's been releasing indie records in assorted genres and styles since 1990. He received attention in 1991/92 with the underground release of "The Lion's Den" which was nominated for an Independent Music Award ("Indie Award") by the National Association of Independent Record Distributors (NAIRD) for best Alternative album. This was the first time the alternative category was used. Smashing Pumpkins took the honor. BLUE formed Sanity Check Musec, Inc. in 1989. SCM is an independent record label, publishing company and "catch-all" corporation for satisfying the legal requirements of BLUE's artistic endeavors. Though Sanity Check has previously been home to a number of independent artists, it operates primarily as a "vanity label" at this time, offering works from BLUE, his side projects and a few close friends. Though he has composed numerous soundtracks throughout the years "South Mountain Magic" is the first one he's made available as an audio CD. This is his second score for writer/director Dave Dull and was also mixed in 5.1 surround sound for the movie's DVD. BLUE also works under the monikers "Booze Monkey", "Church Of Chaos", METAL MACHINE (with Terry Miller) and is an award winning filmmaker.
