It Only Ends Once is the debut album from Fictionalhead (which is my new moniker for those of you who weren't aware)

The album features 11 tracks, which all all available for download below. There is also a poster featuring the album art available for print, for if you wish to have one. It can be seen here: It Only Ends Once, Poster

The official website for the album is fictionalhead.com/itonlyendsonce and from there you can download the entire album, download the album art if you wish to print and assemble your own case. I will probably be taking orders from there soon as well, for if anyone would like a custom-made cd, sent to them, which could also be signed, or coupled with a poster if you wish. Please download the album sampler that has 10 sec of each song if you're curious about the sound.

UPDATE: The good man `zeruch was kind enough to write a review of my album, which can be read here: Zeruch's Review

As always, any feedback you have on the songs you like, or don't is appreciated. Plus, I do like hearing at least a "Thanks" if you downloaded the tunes -- I'm not buying bandwidth for leechers.

Y'know, I don't really dedicate time to deviantART anymore, but I always come back periodically to check if you've put new music up. Still love listening to the idlejamm and Floating Couch tracks and I'm looking forward to listening to this whole thing tonight. :) Thanks :heart:

You'll be happy to know (if you like this album), that I'm 3 tracks into a follow-up album to this.

Thanks for the feedback, it's good to know there are some listeners out there.

Oh man that's great news! I had good timing this time around then! haha.

So far, my favourite tracks are: 3, 4, 5, 7, 9 and 10. That sounds like a lot but it's hard to pick a favourite.

I can't say I'm music savvy as far as technical terms and such go, but I listen to music mostly because of the way it makes me feel.

So I apologize in advance for not being able to provide you with a musically-educated critique.

I just want to say that the reason why I keep coming back to your music is how it feels like it tells a story simply through sounds. A progression, a journey, from point A to point B but traversing through all the process in between.

I am in the process of becoming an illustrator. This is a field where you must often express a strong concept or message that must read well without need for words.

I think that for me, this is what your music does. Almost as if you were telling us a story, giving us a message or just simply telling us about your day if you wanted, or about a dream you had, or about the world of your imagination.

But even then I don't want to over ANALize it haha. I don't even want to look at the titles and think "oh is that what this song is about?" I just like experiencing your music, letting it speak its way into me.

So much thanks, again. :heart:

Hi Dan, I've downloaded your new work but only commented now because I wanted to listen carefully to it before saying something! :)
I found the absence of a singer really in line with the atmosphere you're aiming to recreate and this also helps your music becoming the soundtrack of a design process or at least a focused state of mind.
I realized the passing of time only when the record got to the end and Recursive (which by the way reminds me of Battlestar Galactica opening theme at the very beginning, dunno why) started again. And this means this record is really good! :)
If you want to get deeper in detail on the songs, just don't hesitate to ask, I'd be glad to speak about it!
Thanks again for sharing good music.

Thanks much for the review, and I'm glad you waited until after hearing it to give it a fair shake. I'm glad you like it as well. Hopefully with more spare time, I will be able to make more tunes for another new album. Thanks again!

You're welcome! And that would be great, I'm sure many would appreciate a new release. :D
At the same time hearing this makes me think of a possibility... I will tell you about in a few days time... For now, CIAO!
