Album Notes

Take flourishes of energetic rock music such as the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Caravan,Yes and The Police, add dashes of danceable ambient, sprinkle in some spiritually engaging electronica and melodic acoustic and you get EACH music. Each`s descriptive term for what they play is “PSYCHETRELLIC MUSIC”. Definition: Psychetrellic music---- EACH`s musical influences they experienced separately growing up, then blending elements of vocal harmony, meaningful lyrics, and soaring musical passages distilled into the sound of EACH. To feel good, play liberal doses at high volume! In earlier times, upon listening to an early demo album -- a famous producer exclaimed—“Why, the record companies won’t know what to make of this! Each song is too diverse! You gotta have at least 10 hit singles that sound alike on the album to get a record deal!” This proved to be a catalyst that induced an “independent” DIY attitude and the realization that there was a new musical world order coming and an ever evolving musical technology that would transform and democratize the music industry. They see the diversity of each song as a plus. This way the intelligent listener (you) will know that each time he (she) listens to an EACH album that the next album will be a new musical exploration. In a time where music technology provides musicians and songwriters with unparallel tools limiting what can be done musically only by the human imagination it seems a lot of music falls short of meaning and feeling. Every note played and sang by EACH is played in real time and not sequenced and tweaked until the music is perfect yet seems unnatural and played by machines. They want to reach people who like themselves are in a search (online, radio, record stores, et.al) for music for their everyday lives that makes them feel connected, energetic , spiritual, inspired and even euphoric!
EACH`s beginning came when Paul J. Young, Raymond Black, and Dale Williams began writing and recording original songs and playing gigs in the Southeast, covering album-oriented music while throwing in an original song now and again to promote their music. Each of the three have played music since childhood, played in various local bands, and worked as studio session men. Raymond at one time managed Studio In The Country, a major recording facility in Louisiana working with such diverse artists as Stevie Wonder, Kansas, The Allman Brothers and numerous others.
The first album project—“Light Songs” featured a collection of melodic vocal songs in counterpoint to the heavy rock they played live. This was the bands` first official studio album and a new opportunity to record at Studio In The Country. “LightSongs” was recently digitally remastered and is available in CD format.
“The North Border Sessions” is the result of utilizing modern music technology to create music together—but from different states in which the members live. Paul, Ray and Dale’s recording studios function as one even though they are in remote locations. Using music technology to transcend the space-time continuum between them, they aspire to reach listeners in a larger world.
