I've had the same pair of Sennheiser HD201 for about 8 years now and for a cheap set of entry-level headphones (I think they were £20 when I bought them), they definitely do a good job. Granted, I use my computer's built-in speakers most of the time (and for an iMac they're damn good), it's just when I record vocals that I plug in the headphones.

Since finishing the second album The Messenger Trilogy, Part III back in September, I figured I'd make a thread for development on the third album, that being Part I (yes, these are being released out of order, it just makes more sense from a narrative standpoint). This thread will probably be solely for any WIPs that I write for Part I, and will be creating a new thread for when the album itself is complete (which I don't know when that will be; I'd like to finish it ideally by late-2019, mid-2020 at the latest).

For now, here are the current list of WIPs for The Messenger Trilogy, Part I:

• 02. Long Live The Kings 1:58 [SKETCH 01a] (2019-01-15)
• 04. The Willing Duke I: Mine By Right 4:36 [SKETCH 01] (2018-11-12)
• 05. The Willing Duke II: An Act of Treason 4:26 [SKETCH 01a] (2019-01-17)

• 08. Cold Sweat 2:30 [SKETCH 01c] (2018-11-04)
• 09. The Resistance 4:57 [single edit] (2019-03-29)

I realise some/most may not remember me, but those who do will be glad to know I've still been making music in the years you may have missed me, finishing my first two albums:

And in case you're wondering "where is 'The Messenger Trilogy, Part I'", it's going to be the third album. Don't know when it's gonna be finished though, I'm aiming late-2019, mid-2020 at the latest.

I'm pretty sure I forgot to even make an account here, so might as well make a "very) belated reintroduction...

Those from the old TIMGUL forums may remember me as Not a Number; while I still use that name for my music, that and everything else is all under the "Racing Stripe A/V" banner, hence why I'm using that name here.
