It was really too bad when Slowreader disappeared into nothing....kind of like it arrived. But out of it came Rory's thirst to still make music. Now, Rory (the brainchild behind the whole evolution) had been gaining momentum as a producer over the years that he had some downtime.
So, what did he do? Rory decided to re-release a few b-sides (totally revamped and reproduced) and new songs from his earlier years in a free downloadable CD. He did all of the instrumentation and production himself, and released it as kind of a 'demo cd'. However, it's pretty damn good. Rory reverts back to a more rock-oriented feel with perhaps a few disco-ish touches on his new demos. A few are posted below.
'Invisible' begins with an electronic feel accompanied by Rory's soothing voice. It bounces along until the chorus where he really begins to let loose and show a grittier, rock side. And just as soon as it explodes, it's back to a smooth, bouncy rhythm. That is, until the next chorus. 'Hope' is pretty much a straight up pop tune where the chorus will have a hard time leaving your head. 'Love Won't Be Enough' is probably my personal favorite, with interesting drumming, and vocals that fade in and out quite nicely. Rory now has a full band that tours with these songs and others....so if you can catch the last remnants of the Impossibles....do it. Hope you enjoyed the evolution!
