Hi Everyone,

“Back by popular request and raving reviews of my first album, Reboot, Volume 1, with songs I wrote in the early 80’s, here is From The Vault, Volume 2.

Digging into the vault, I gathered a few more tunes which I am releasing with this album, From The Vault, Volume 2, and there are more to come later. We thought it’s time for the tunes to see the light of day, they have been hidden way too long. Actually, I had planned to release another album with more current compositions this month, but we were having fun going back in time with my old tunes, so here they are. My next album with more current compositions will follow soon.

The series, From The Vault, is a reflection of what I was doing back in the early 80’s. While listening to the music in Volume 2 you might want to put on your 1980’s dancing shoes. Maybe you will also enjoy hearing my friend Robert Thornburn’s work in these collections as much as I do, especially his guitar mastery considering the short amount of time we had to finish each tune.

Just as we were going to upload the album, our site host advised us that we had to increase our web storage to accommodate more music. That sent me into a long redo for many things. While dug into cyberspace and beyond I got a different idea for a title of these older compositions which then lead to a change of the album cover. The title, From The Vault, is more fitting for that body of work and so is the art work my wife Lilo created from a photo of old doors she took a while back somewhere in eastern Germany. That’s why we also changed the title and art work of Reboot into From The Vault.

I am in a different space now but it is fun to re-visit my younger years. Listening to the tunes with my Sony over the ear headphones plugged into my cellphone, the sound is good. It is also good from the computer with my newer Bose Companion speakers. As everyone has different ways to hear music these days, I can only hope the sound is as good as it is for us here at home.

Like I said, I will be releasing the previously scheduled album very soon.

Thanks for your support.

James
