<span style="font-size: large;"><b>CD Baby Does It Again</b></span><br />
<br />
My oh my! CD Baby Does It Again! When I thought my album "Fire of Love" was dead in the water sitting on the virtual atmosphere of CD Baby, CD Baby goes ahead and makes music videos of the songs on my album.<br />
<br />
This is good, although I just discovered this today. The videos have been sitting at You Tube since last October. Now these videos only feature the album artwork for visuals, but hey --- we're trying to get people to listen to the music.<br />
<br />
I was somewhat shocked that they also included the title track, which is really two songs and is 9 minutes and 50 seconds long. The first part of the song is the fire dance with torch dancers (you can't see, of course) and a fire eater. Then the music breaks into the core of the song. This song is part instrumental and part vocal featuring the lovely singing talent of Ann. I'm very proud of this song and the album as a whole. <a href="http://roblattinmusic.blogspot.com/2015/12/hot-off-presses-interview-with.html" target="_blank">Fireworks Magazine</a> gave it a glowing review and it's still available on CD Baby.<br />
<br />
Here is all 9 minutes and 50 seconds of Fire of Love.:<br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Recently I made the name transition from <i>Sonic Dimension</i> to <i>Rob Lattin Music</i>. I wanted a name to capture something people could understand "Music" and also be a catch-all for all the different genres I do. However, my new CD opens with a tune called "<i>The Gate to the Sonic Dimension</i>", so what an appropriate segue!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">My new album <a href="http://cdbaby.com/cd/roblattinmusic" target="_blank"><b>Fire of Love</b></a> is my debut music for hard rock, although some of it delves into jungle music, space prog-rock, and jazz. It's really a pretty good album and I'm starting to get some good press (which I'll share soon) and radio airplay (I'll let you know what stations like and play my songs, especially the hit song-to-be Heavy Metal Harley. (You can play the song in its entirety here on this page.) Please buy, share and like this song.</span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Here are some album notes from CD Baby:</span></u></b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Fire of Love</b> highlights not only the unique </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">compositions and fluctuating chord progressions that </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">are a breath of fresh air to what is currently on </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">the radio, but is centered on the guitar prowess of </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Rob Lattin. One review stated that <i><b>Happy Dude</b></i> has </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">that "rock anthem" feel, however it has that Detroit </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">edginess that makes the song sound fresh each time </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">it's played. </span></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span> <div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There are 3 instrumentals on the album and each are </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">unique in style and genre:</span></span></span></div><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<ul><li><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><b><i>The Gate</i></b><i><b> to the Sonic Dimension</b></i> is somewhat </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">science fiction-y with that good old rock </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">progression driving sound. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i>The Rescue</i></b> includes </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">skiffle with jazz horns and could be labelled </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">progressive jazz with a metal guitar. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i>Shenanigans</i></b> is </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">classic rock in a tribute to the 3 Stooges - it is </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">unpredictable and fun. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i>Heavy Metal Harley</i></b> is a metal pop song, somewhat, </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">but doesn't follow the rules. It's the perfect dance </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">song for bikers. It's also the perfect song for </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">cruising on your Harley. And don't expect to hear </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">any motorcycle sound effects - make your own with </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">your own bike and just crank up the music . . . and </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">ride!</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The title track <i><b>Fire of Love</b></i> has a torch and drum </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">dance introduction before the main song. The drums </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">give music relief to the guitar assault on the </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">album. Don't worry, there's plenty of axe to follow. </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Fire also features the vocal work of <i>Ann Lattin</i> and </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Rob's unmistakable playing style is represented in </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">the improvised lead guitar performance.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i>Hey Mr Cloud</i></b> brings back memories of when folk music </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">met rock music back in the day and has never been </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">the same since. A happy song about a simpler time, </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">could be just as well applied to today. This song is </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">reminiscent of <i>Mark Lindsay</i> in the early days of </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Paul Revere and the Raiders. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i>Cortez</i></b>, and <b><i>Voices and Visions</i></b>, both exemplify Rob's </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">tight and deliberate guitar playing hinting at some </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">of his early guitar influences including <i>Ted Nugent</i>, </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Rory Gallagher, <i>Jimmy Page</i> and Jim McCarty of </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cactus. </span></span></li>
</ul><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The music here wasn't written for Grammy </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">consideration, it was made for pure listening </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">pleasure. </span></span></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Two words to describe it all - <b><i>Cool and </i></b></span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>Fun</i></b>.</span></div><br />

<b><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Rock N Roll Baby! FINALLY!</span></b><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The album I've been telling you about is available NOW at CD Baby and soon at iTunes and elsewhere. </span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It's entitled "<b>Fire of Love</b>" and has many of the songs I let you preview in their demo forms now complete and ready to bring you into pure listening pleasure.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Enough of the hype! What's on this album?</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This 9 song work of love opens with 'The Gate To The Sonic Dimension" Classic rock and progressive rock meets on this song. Press play and close your eyes and you will soon visualize yourself travelling through time and space and quickly break through the gate-barrier of this reality into a groovy dimension. The Sonic Dimension.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Then, next comes my "<b>Happy Dude</b>" song. Crank it up, be positive, and rock on. I has that Detroit edginess and some nice fingerwork to dazzle you.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Enough of the hype already! (Sorry, I'm just too excited about this.)</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Other songs include<b> Heavy Metal Harley</b>, <b>The Rescue</b> (an instrumental), <b>Cortez</b>, and the title track <b>Fire of Love </b>(9 minutes of sound starting in the jungle through searing guitar leads, ethereal vocals, and bass interludes.)</span><br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">Amboy Illinois.</span></b><br />
<div>
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: blue;">Out visiting some friends here - no not the original <i>Amboy</i> Dukes - but some people in Amboy Illinois. We were discussing the name of my new <b>Sonic Dimension</b> album.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: blue;">It's funny, but a title can lock your music into a category forever that you may not want. I wonder how many bands failed because of a poor title selection. (Check out these titles from a Cracked article</span> <a href="http://www.cracked.com/article_15116_the-20-worst-album-titles-all-time.html" target="_blank"><b>20 Worst Album Titles of All Time</b></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<span style="color: blue;">Then after a title, it's the artwork. I know some artists who can do some work but not happy with any of the suggestions yet. I think that one of the coolest album covers I've seen was the first <b>Ted Nugent </b>solo album on Epic Records with his legendary logo. There have been other great album art and then there has been real clunkers. Check out these album covers from a Hub Pages writer <span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">DarkSinistar</span></span> <a href="http://darksinistar.hubpages.com/hub/25-Greatest-Hard-Rock-and-Heavy-Metal-Album-Covers" target="_blank"><b>25 Greatest Hard Rock and Heavy Metal Album Covers</b></a><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: blue;">Well, one thang at a time!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: blue;">Anyway - the new album has gone through a lot of change. There have been remixes of remixes, songs dropped, songs added, singers changed, song parts re-recorded. I guess even big budget recording studios go through the same. I have a small budget so my projects take a LONG time.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: blue;">Unlike other releases I've done in the past, this one might be available on CD besides MP3. Also hoping to get some pre-release radio play early next year. So just for fun, I want to show you a list of album titles that were suggested but were dropped <u>immediately</u>:</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #660000;"><b>Ozzie Osbourn's Little Brother</b> (we'd get sued if we used that!)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #660000;"><b>Welcome To The Machine Workers Union</b> (we'd probably get two lawsuits out of that one)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #660000;"><b>Elvis Presley Is Alive And Kickin!</b> (a tribute album featuring that little kid in Canada who sings like Elvis) </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #660000;"><b>Can't Do A Capella I </b>and can't eat an armadillo</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #660000;"><b>The Wrecking Bull</b> (with a tribute song to the timeless music of Miley Cyrus :) )</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #660000;"><b>Can't Buy Me Drugs </b>(Original title of a Beatles song that was changed to include the word "Love")</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #660000;"><b>The Darkside of the Moon Pie </b>(Based on Pink Floyd doing commercials for sweetcakes)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #660000;"><b>Journey To The Center of the Mine Field</b> ("Leave your cares behind, step onto a mine . . ." just didn't work - only because Ted Nugent wasn't available to play the solo guitar)</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">Anyway, the wheels are turning. Too many projects going at once (<b>Mad Experiment </b>only needs final vocal tracks; my <b><i>FREE Christmas songs download</i></b> is still up, and still working on the "Driven" album which probably won't be released until Summer.)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: blue;">The songs on my new <b>Sonic Dimension</b> album may seem familiar but they are all fun. They are brash but addictive. After the release </span><span style="color: blue;">I'm hoping to add some permanent members to the band. Decent drummers are very hard to find. And honest managers.<i> So . . .</i></span></div>

<br />
Thought I'd release the You Tube video of "Cortez Defeats Molloch" before offering the song. It was fun putting this video together and yet the message of the song is very striking. The battle was beyond Europeans and a Meso American culture, it was a battle initiated by a Spanish conquistador against a demon and finally assisted by the indigenous peoples. Cortez - saint or sinner, Hero or heel - it doesn't matter because in hindsight the ritualistic cannibalism and human sacrifice ended and the people were given true spiritual freedom.<br />
<br />
Here's an informative and enlighteing article on Hernando Cortez in Crisis Magazine <a href="http://www.crisismagazine.com/2012/the-magnificence-of-hernan-cortes">http://www.crisismagazine.com/2012/the-magnificence-of-hernan-cortes</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6851395350403485650.post-71336493381869645092013-06-14T08:42:00.000-05:002013-06-14T08:42:47.574-05:00Songs Released and Happy Dude is Climbing The Charts!I guess if this were the 60's and 70's, I'd have a local hit. Oh well - "Happy Dude" reached number 4 in local area on <b>Reverbnation</b> (the premier site for new music - hands down!)<br />
<br />
I've uploaded a total of 5 songs at this point and made some new friends who have some great music too - from rap to jazz to country to metal and rock. Listen to my songs and if you like them buy them because a part of the proceeds goes to charity and it helps me maintain my blogs and recording time.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6851395350403485650.post-43229050650745167282013-05-24T20:26:00.001-05:002013-07-14T08:42:03.605-05:00Happy Dude - New Video Released on You Tube<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="344" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/I4ks27s6Nm0" width="459"></iframe>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com
