Good morning, my dear friend. At the moment, Im on a plane transporting equipment for my work. Ill be back in two days, and then Ill tell you everything about our vocalist. On this track, alongside the great Pedro on keyboards, we were fortunate to have the legendary Ghizzo on guitars. Their contribution gave the music a whole new dimension, and with their analog instruments they managed to create a bridge between this album and the next onewhenever that project eventually comes to life. Thank you once again from the bottom of our hearts. Well talk again very soon. Warm regards Chris

Good morning, dear friend Juan Carlos.
Thank you, and thank you all once again for your kindness and support. This song is our mirror. It is the reflection of many of us, especially at the stage of life we find ourselves in now. It is also the mirror of countless people who, after years of circumstances, choices, expectations, hopes, and pain, eventually find themselves standing before it. I believe it is a fitting ending for our album. But don't forgetit is not the only ending. You can also listen to *Joy Came Quietly* and choose that path instead. There, the protagonist seems to be preparing for something else. As an alternative ending to the album, *Joy Came Quietly* offers a different kind of closure. Where *I Remember Wanting More* confronts regret and self-reflection, this song embraces acceptance. It is the sound of a man who no longer searches for answers, but finds peace in what remains. Not a victory, not a redemptionsimply a quiet grace arriving at the end of a long journey. If all goes well and life allows us the opportunity, our next album will continue the story that began with *Urban Stories*. It will explore humanity's strange and often irrational relationship with the system we create, live within, and sometimes become trapped behind. Atmospheric, dark, and unsettling in its themes, it will look beneath the surface of the world we experience every day. As for our friend who raised concerns about AI, there was never really a problem. It was simply a small misunderstanding regarding a very old recording of poor quality. A few traces of hiss could perhaps be mistaken for artifacts of digital generation, but the truth is that when the piece was originally recorded, such technology did not even exist. Later digital restoration and processing intended to improve the sound may have given that impression.In any case, there is no issue at all. I completely understand such concernswe live in an era where AI is everywhere. The matter was resolved, and our friend, who is also a very talented musician, understood the situation. We remain friends and continue to respect and appreciate one another.
Thank you again for your generous words.
We are now in the final stage of the project. My eyes hurt, my head hurts, and we keep finding small things to correct. Every time we finish something, another detail appears that we want to improve. And, of course, with our jobs and daily responsibilities, time is always short.
Take care, my friend.
With endless appreciation, Chris
In the end, I removed the track, as it was never intended to be included on the album. It simply wasn't worth creating friction over something that wasn't part of the project. We genuinely appreciate opinions, suggestions, and creative observations. Thoughtful criticism is always welcome because it helps us see our work from different perspectives and often leads to better decisions. At the end of the day, that's what matters most to us: the music and the dialogue it creates.

Thank you very much on behalf of the members of the band. On this track, my musical contribution was relatively smallI am the drummer of the band. However, all of the remaining production and processing went through my mind and my hands.
Thank you once again, both on behalf of the band and personally.
Kind regards,
Chris and the LINEAR FADE Band

Dear friend,
Thank you so much. We put a lot of thought into it and created several different versions of the song, but in the end, this one won us over.
It reflects exactly how we wanted our story to end (this is an alternative ending to the album). The narrator and protagonist is left alone and, in a moment of deep introspection, apologizes, questions himself, accepts, and ultimately comes to terms with his life.
It is a mirror that all of us, if we haven't already looked into, will certainly face someday.
We didn't want yet another intense track filled with energy, tension, and rhythm, because this moment is solitary, quiet, and still.
Take care, and thank you on behalf of all of us here.
Chris & LINEAR FADE Band

Thank you very much for your time and your comments.
Kind regards, Chris & LINEAR FADE Band

Thank you once again. Im really happy that it creates this warm atmosphere for you it means we managed to do something right. I wish you and your little cats all the best. I used to have two cats back when we lived on the hills outside the city, surrounded by greenery and trees. Later, because of my wifes work, we moved to the city center, and of course we took them with us. Three summers ago, while we were in Greece for our holidays (Im Greek, in case you didnt know), we found a tiny stray kitten about a week old, according to the vet and we brought her back with us to Italy. One of our cats later passed away because of kidney problems, so only his mother and the little Greek kitten remained. Then, a few weeks ago, the mother cat also passed away. She was around 18 years old. Its been truly heartbreaking. Now we only have our little Greek cat. She is very sweet, but she has been left alone. Maybe we will adopt another one someday, probably again from Greece, where sadly there are so many stray animals.

Tanti saluti amico mio,
Chris

My friend Dan, thank you very much once again. As soon as I return to my base, well talk more properly. Many greetings from all of us. Chris

Thank you very much, our dear friend. Warm greetings from all of us, Chris &
LINEAR FADE

Good morning, Juan Carlos. Thank you very much once again. We chose not to give such a song, with this kind of subject matter, very intense tones because, imagine this: it is about a man wearing chains, someone who moves illegally through the night, sitting in a room with a single light illuminating one side of his face, making this kind of confession about his life. Things did not turn out the way he expected. That is more or less how I wrote it that was the image I had in my mind. So the musical atmosphere also had to match that feeling. Thank you very much, my friend. I am away now, traveling for work. We will talk better then. Take care, my friend.
With appreciation,
Chris

Both I and LINEAR FADE thank you for your time and your kind words, my friend. Thank you for your comments.
With appreciation,
Chris

Thank you once again, both for your time and for your comments. Take care.

Chris

Thank you very much my friend Mark. Urban Stories has a very clear aesthetic identity. It does not sound like something created to follow trends; it sounds like the personal work of people who truly had something to express and communicate. With appreciation, LINEAR FADE band.

Look, my friend. All of us every single one of us have gone through things in this short life that were not always pleasant. I misunderstood. My English is terrible, just like my music. The performer also has that special quality not simply to sing, but to interpret. That is something completely different. In almost 40 years of playing music, we have met many good singers. But for me, being good is not just about having a beautiful voice. Its about interpreting a song the way you truly feel it inside yourself. That is exactly how Nadine is. She is a very good interpreter, not necessarily just a singer because she has a nice voice. What matters is that she is genuine in her interpretation, and we will miss her since she is leaving to continue her professional journey on another level. Take care. I wrote to you that I really like your music because it feels truly real and honest.

Thanks! Chris

My friend bananaLu, I honestly dont know what style this is that you wrote. In any case, it is not exactly normal. If it is some kind of German joke, then it belongs to the kind of bad jokes you people make. Anyway, our microphones for the vocals have always, been the Audio-Technica AT2050 condenser.
Chris

Banana, explain to me properly about the vocals. We should try it. Ill tell you another time about the six summers. Did something happen

Good morning, Juan Carlos.
Yes, this is one of the songs that carries a very strong emotional weight within our album. Especially when I hear her voice, which managed to identify completely with the protagonist. Truly, it is one of those recordings after which none of us speaks for a long time. Thank you for sharing the emotion and experience you felt while listening to the track. It is exactly what we were discussing in our previous conversations for the listener to step, even for a little while, into the place of the protagonist of our stories. Thank you once again for your support and your kind words. Nadine, despite her brilliant career, will do everything possible to help us, a relatively unknown band, with her immense knowledge and her incredible voice. That is what she assured us, and I am certain that is how it will be.

With appreciation, my friend, warm greetings from all of us.
Chris & LINEAR FADE

Thank you very much. Yes, it is emotionally charged, not only because of the lyrics, but also because of the performance and interpretation by our singer. Thank you on behalf of all of us.

Chris LINEAR FADE Band

an, once again, thank you very much. I am happy that you liked it. We are reaching the final stages of the album production. Warm greetings from all the members of the band.

With appreciation,
Chris LINEAR FADE Band

Thank you very much. It was something we aimed for from the very beginning, writing the album first as if it were the script of a film, and only afterwards as a musical composition. We wanted to place the listener in the position of the protagonist. Judging from the comments of our friends here, I believe we have achieved that to a great extent, and this gives us great satisfaction.
Thank you very much for your time.
With appreciation,
Chris

Thank you very much. I managed to listen to one of your tracks. I wrote to you. Congratulations!
