For Greater Good CD out now!!!

After appearances on several compilations, including the highly-acclaimed CMI-release 'All My Dead Friends', For Greater Good found the time ripe to issue a first full-cd.

The CD consists of 10 songs, good for over 50 minutes of music ranging from dark ambient over neo-classical towards a more industrial sound. For this, FGG uses a combination of synthesizers, samples, noises and acoustic instruments.

Core members of the band are Iz and samdevos. Guest musician on this album is Edwin Vanvinckenroye (Troissoeur, Tribe, HandCrafted,…) on vocals and violin.
Mastering was done by Daniel B. (Front 242,…)

The theme of the songs is as varied as the sound. For Greater Good serves as a spectator towards life as it is. They give facts and topics to think about, without force-feeding you their own opinion; the sorrow of tragedies in 'Ossetian Ossuary', the present day abuse and violation of Human Rights in 'Love your Terrorist', but also the more mundane annoyance of a simple traffic jam in 'Rush Hour'.

The cd is suited as a soundtrack for everyday life... the darker as well as the lighter moments.

More info and a way to order it :-)

MySpace: FGG @ MySpace

Meanwhile at samdevos HQ:

A friend wrote me an email to complain about the fact that I have not been writing anything about myself and my musical projects for some time now, so here goes:

- First full album of For Greater Good just came back from mastering, and I'm happy to say it sounds amazing, yihaa... and artwork is done. Now it's down to us getting the licenses needed for printing and pressing and then it will be released upon the world, so more on that soon...

- Devoted Symbols will play live @ OJC Kompas in Sint-Niklaas, Belgium on 05-04-2008

- Some new collabs are in the pipeline... more on those as they progress.

- Krisje and I are fine, still going strong and falling in love with eachother every couple of weeks. Kamiel is also fine (That's our cat!!!)

33!!!

Thanx to everyone for making this a birthday I will not easily forget.
You know who you are... ;-)

Thanx for the presents and cards.

It has been an intens period of reflexion, some bad moments but also really good times.

New songs on For Greater Good @ MySpace

We put two new songs on the For Greater Good @ MySpace site.

The third song is 'Spring Mechanist', the 2006 version. A lighter song by FGG standards...
The fourth song is a dance-remix of 'Le Jugement Du Roi En Jaune' by one of our mates, Bart Vervoort AKA Bamiteam. A surprising take on the neoclassical piece that was the original!
We will try to make it a tradition to include a friend's remix as fourth song on the For Greater Good @ MySpace-page, consider this an invitation... :)

and if you haven't heard the two songs i just uploaded on my personal myspace
check them out to...
I hope you like what you hear...
