SoulSilk
The 60s and 70s R & B re-visited
THE SoulSilkTM CD DEMO IS READY!
Late May 2005, we've just finished our first professionaly mixed and mastered demo CD containing 8 original songs. Packaging is completed and promos are being shipped to distinguished parties worldwide!
This is a ''radio broadcast'' quality CD. We have really watched out to have each recorded note illustrating our ability to respect musical tradition and purity. It includes enhanced versions of some of the songs included in the very first Apostolos' effort to have demo; that was made in a home studio in mid 2004. Some of these songs are sampled in our ''Sounds Gallery'' section. It contains 8 of the total 25 existing original songs. But this professionally finished demo we have now has no comparison to that home-made product! (We just prefer to keep those old samples in the ''Sounds Gallery'' section, it is giving us a sense of the progress we've made so far...) Some 9 really serious musicians have worked for it's realization, not to mention the efforts of the guys in 222 Studios... The ‘’colouring’’ instruments such as the guitars, the organ, the trumpets and the saxophones are really boosting the rhythm sections’ grooves. And our male and female vocalists' soulful voices fit the genres so distinctively that you wouldn’t believe they’re not coming from the Southern States! Well, it is serious but a very great, relaxing and fun thing to be in!
We're really proud about it and we'll do more given the time! It is already solicited for review by U.S., British, Dutch, Swedish, German, and Canadian both major and indie record labels, music publishers and radio stations.
All multitrack recording, mastering and mixing was done at ''222 Studios'', Kallithea Athens Greece, with the use of PRO Tools software. Recording commencement date: March 1, 2005. Recording completion date: May 14, 2005
This is the cover of the very first home-made demo of the band back in 2004...

Pathfinder
The 60s and 70s R & B re-visited
Out of the Question
Strong influences by Credence Clearwater Revival here.
(Ain't Gonna) Give A Dime
A great funky tune.
No Cash Advance
A ‘’white’’ sound with a funky drums sequence.
Won’t you Feel Me?
This is not just a ballad. The guitar and bass are echoing soul.
What have you done to me?
Pure '60s soul tune...
For Balladeers
This is a modern ballad. It is is a completely different musical style.
Too Easy, Too Fast
This is a soul’s fight between a woman and a man.
(Standing Like A) Home Boy
A medium pitched dancing tune.
A Piece of Sky
This song is based on a bass lick.
Waiting
Is this a rock sound? Is this 00’s? Not soul again. You can call it a ‘’car driving song’’.
Two Miles Away Blues
A humble effort in respect to the Blues Masters.

A Chicago Blues tune.
