"Ribeiro Frio" - A new track for the album "Madeira"!

Now things really take off. After all the album should be available for you as soon as possible and I don't want it to take as long as the release of the album "Mesopotamia". And I need the tracks to be finnished for using them in "AlionLive Return 2 Madeira". Yeah, so everything is again connected to everything and work once more creates more work.
The new track is about the liitle town Ribeiro Frio in the forested heart of Madeira and the surrounding majestic mountain area. I'm sure, that if you were there and at least think a bit like I do, you will hear the unique atmosphere of that place out of this little song.
Have Fun!

New track for the album "Madeira" - "Nossa Senhora do Monte"!

After some trouble during the past days, I am proud and happy to present to you the second track for the themed album "Madeira". The style will maybe be a bit unusual for the long term Cimelium fans.. and also for all the others. One thing upfront: If you cannot stand church organs at all, you better skip this ;). And yes: The album "Madeira" will be a lot more "conservative" and melody-oriented than "Mesopotamia". There are reasons for this ;)

Oh, many of you do not know anything at all about a new Cimelium album? Well, I must have forgotten to tell you about this somehow. Ok, so let's correct this now. Yes, of cause there will be a new album by Cimelium... or did you think, I will now just stop? ;) Ok, and that album will be about my beloved island in the sun, Madeira. Traditionally, there will be again 13 tracks on the album, each about a special location on the island, trying to capture the atmosphere. STOP! I allready hear my attentive fans saying "13 tracks? That's not enough to capture all the beautyfull places in Madeira!". Right, and because of that you can hear the faint sound of an album "Madeira Volume 2" at a far away horizon. But that's really a thing of the far away future.

Let's stay at the current album project "Madeira": One track I created allready last year, titled "Rabacal". Missed it? No problem, JUST CLICK HERE. As said: 13 tracks, each describing a special location in Madeira, more melody focussed than "Mesopotamia". Release date? Well, you ask questions... I don't want to promise too much. You know about my little problem with fixed dates... do you? But I can safely say, that something really bad must happen, if the album is not released this year.

Ok, much words, just as you know me... This current track "Nossa Senhora do Monte" is a bout the world famous church in Monte/Funchal and the surroundings. It was a place with a great feeling of majesty, peace and calmness for me. You just can feel great there, like allmost everywhere in Madeira. During a depression attack, which was taking me out of the game for the whole last week, I was nearly unable to do any creative work. Still I worked at this particular track from time to time. So you maybe hear to depression out of this track, but also hope and immortal bravery. I advise each and everyone going to Madeira to visit this marvellous place, and maybe you take a MP3 player with you and listen to this song while you are there. I am sure, you will 100% understand the song then. And now, enough said, here's "Nossa Senhora do Monte":

Win one of five free downloads of the album Mesopotamia by Cimelium!

To celebrate the marvellous fact, that the album Mesopotamia by Cimelium is now available in the shops, I decided to start a little contest. The five winners get a free download of the album Mesopotamia by Cimelium. This is also thought of as some kind of a christmas present and because of that, the drawing of the winners out of all Facbook "likers" and mailers will take place at christams. The winners will be notified at christas on Facebook or via mail.

And here is, how you can participate:

1. If you didn't do it yet, listen to the album Mesopotamia by Cimelium.
2. LIKE the Facebook page of Cimelium
3. Write at the Cimelium Facebook Wall, which song on the Mesopota album you like most (maybe why? ;))

"STOOOP! I have no Facebook !!!"
No problem. You can still participate: Just write a mail to cimelium@alionmind.com and tell me which song on the Mesopota album you like most (maybe why? ;))

Cimelium speaks German!

Well, it is about time that the german speaking audience of Cimelium gets their own musical home on the web. First, because Cimelium evolved out of the alionsonny project "Alion Meditations", Cimelium had mostly US american listeners. But this has changed drastically in 2012. A still small but nice crowd of Germans is since then growing, so I think it is the right time to not just create a german Blog, but also completely redesign the Cimelium Homepage, so it has a german version also. Since I planned to re-work the homepages of all my projects, I think this is one of the most consequent steps.

I am also proud to announce a weepstakes taking place soon, where you can win one of five free downloads of the album "Mesopotamia". Stay tuned...

"Mesopotamia" by Cimelium is now available on Routenote for just 8,45$!

Yeah, that went quick. Thanks to James Bennett at Routenote and a big apology by me, because the problem with the album was indeed MY FAULT. I didn't simply understand the difference between 1415 and 1425 pixels. I think I never felt that stupid in my whole life. Ok, but now everything is great and James even was so kind to approve the album immediately. So i am happy as a man can be. So, if you want the album right now and have no problems paying in US$, THIS IS WHERE TO CLICK to get to the albums page in my Routenote Shop. If you did not pre-listen the whole album by now, you can do it there aswell as on the Cimelium Soundcloud page. Have fun, folks!


Ahh, by the way: If you want to listen to most of the tracks of the album and watch wonderful impressions from my favorite place on earth (Madeira), there are 4 parts of my video series AlionLive Madeira available to do so. Here they are:

Done! The last track for the album "Mesopotamia" has been finnished!

...and so I am ready to release that album. Currently there are some major problems with Routenote, my music distributor again. I tried to upload the album yesterday to Routenote, but there was a problem with the upload of the coverart, so the process stuck right at the start. I wasn't even able to upload a single song. So I am very sorry, that you will have to wait until their support answers my mail. This takes usually between 2-4 days. Then we have to wait until the album is approved by them. This may take up to several weeks. then the album will be available at my Routenote shop. Until it is then available at iTunes and Amazon will take another 2-6 weeks.

So you see, that it is even possible, that the album will not be in the shops until newyear. This sucks, yeah. But I can offer you an option to buy the album right now. Those who experienced the trouble (also because of Routenote) with the release of the first album of the Willma Poppen project, will allready know the process. But for the others here is how it works:

1. The price for the album is 9,90 Euro or US$
2. Send me that ammount of cash either to my Paypal (alionsonny@alionsonny.com) or send me a mail to the same address if you do not like Paypal for any reason. I will then provide you with banking details for a bank transfer.
3. If you payed via Paypal, please send me an additional mail with an e-mailaddress, to which I can send the album.
4. Once I receive your payment, I will send you the album in an archive via mail.
5. IMPORTANT: Please make sure, that your mailaccount allows attachments up to 150 MB!
6. If you are, for any reason, unable to receive the album via e-mail, please provide me with a postal address, so I can send you the album via postal mail

Again, I'm very sorry for the inconvinience. It is not really my fault. Once I earn enough cash by selling albums, I will for sure use another distribution service. But now no more bad vibrations, here's the last song for the "Mesopotamia" album!
