I present, Candles. - Music - Forums : Best Ever Albums

Hayden · 2012-01-13T18:37:06-05:00

Hey BEA. As many of you know, I've been working on an album for the past while. :) I am glad to say, that after the long, eventful, and incredible journey, the mixtape is finished. :) I had planned a later release date, but it was finished a bit earlier than expected :) I would like to thank Jhereko & Applerill for helping out on several tracks :) And I would also like to thank all of the other recording engineers, producers and other people involved, who shall probably never read this. Candles Hayden Who 1. Subtle, Unsublte 2. MCMXLII 3. Grapes 4. Interlude I 5. Animalshej Ghat 6. Streets Around The World 7. Alpha, Charlie, India & Delta (My Friends) 8. Candles 9. Interlude II 10. Whispers Pt. I-IV Now, where do you find this, you say? :-k Well, I decided to make a separate, completely unnecessary website for the event :D So, if you wish, visit (http://haydenwho.webs.com) to click on the artwork, and be redirected to a mediafire download :) Hope you guys enjoy it! :D I plan to add it to our site's database shortly, so please rate :) (honestly...not the '100/100' friendly approach thing, unless, of course, it's just plain fucking amazingness) . NOTICE:For all of the people who expected a cover version of Pink Floyds 'Wish You Were Here', it was unfortunately cut from the album. I do have a version of it, that I'm not too fond of, that I will put up if anyone wants. Bit of a shame, but it really didn't fit.

I know it's pretty late, but I just wanted to say that I recently heard the album in full.

Grapes is my fave track overall. But the whole album is amazing, really.

85/100

Thanks. 😄 Applerill will be pleased to hear that. Glad you liked it.

I also want to say that considering some regulations, this isn't an album 🫢 I've had to change it to 'mixtape' status.

My debut album should be released in a month or 2. And it's sound amazing so far. Not sure if this one will be given out for free... But I have an entire team working on it, and I'm really proud of how it sounds. Completely change of style from this. It doesn't have a name or artwork yet....but I'll share it all when it's done.

What self-imposed regulations?

The chilling beginning of Grapes (was that Applerill's solo in there?) is one of the best things I've ever heard.

Regulations?

I do hope your debut album is at least as good as Candles.

I play guitar on that track 😄 Applerill is the trumpet (which is also played at the beginning). I like that one a lot too 😄

There really isn't a difference between a mixtape and an album, but technically any album released for free (in full) is considered a mixtape. There's also 3 samples in Candles.... 😕 And that actually affects it's status. NOT THAT IT MATTERS. It's just words 🤣 Call it an album if you wish.

It's just that most of the time it's associated to hip-hop.

But, yeah. First album soon. And it's sounding bad-ass. Really dark, atmospheric, powerful stuff. It's like Suicide, Colin Stetson and Pink Floyd decided to make an album. Also, there's no electric guitar on this album (one acoustic guitar part). It's mostly drum heavy.

If so, then good job you both have done!

Haha, you're right, we can call it whatever we want to 😉

Excited about it. Sounds good from what you say. Maybe it'll be even better than Candles. Though I'm not sure anything off it will be as good as Grapes.

Are you still Hayden Who? That name has a ring to it. 😜

"It's Hayden Who!"
"Who?"
"Exactly! Hayden Who!"
"That's what I'm asking, Hayden who?"

^Expect this.

This has been expected. 🤣 I get that a lot. It's fun to screw people over with though.
