EclecticMusicLover, California, USA
"Another wonderful collaborative effort featuring an eclectic mix of stylistic elements ranging from rock, folk and pop to electronic and alt-country.... (they've) gone and done it again, creating another work of musical art that’s as perfect as it could possibly be. 'The Vanishing and Other Stories' is a gorgeous, expertly-crafted little EP, and a testament to the impressive talents of Price, Bassett, and everyone else involved in its production." - Jeff Archuleta

R.C.T Bands! (Past & Present), Wales, UK
"You need to listen to these tracks through a good set of headphones and really appreciate the workmanship. The simplicity of sounds and music, yet brilliant mixing and production over five uniquely different vocal offerings. The only criticism I do have is that it an EP. I’m greedy and want another full album – especially if they are all this quality. I’m looking forward to walking home from work on Friday now!  6 / 6 Stars" - Grayson Jones

MantraRay is two long-time friends, Trevor Brill and Billy Raymond-Barker. Trevor lives in Cardiff, South Wales and Billy lives in Brixham, Devon. Back in the 90’s, Trev and Billy worked together in London and were part of a five-piece band gigging around the London pub circuit, Billy on guitar and Trev on the drums. Then life got in the way, children were born and the band went their separate ways. Fast forward thirty years and the boys, well, two of them, are back! The magic of electronic file transfers has made their collaboration a reality despite the geographical separation. 

Their music covers a variety of genres but is mostly filed under Alt Rock. Musical  influences include the Manic Street Preachers, Pink Floyd, Joni Mitchell, Super Furry Animals, The Cure, Rush, Stone Temple Pilots…..the list could go on and on….way too many artists that they both love and enjoy, mainy from the “rock” genre but not exclusively, also enjoying Ska, Motown, Pop and Electronica. Their lyrics often reflect the emotional turmoil existing within personal relationships, grief, loss, love, sex as well as events such as 9/11 and the war in Ukraine. 

They released their first album, MantraRay – The Collection, in October 2021 and quickly found themselves many new fans who enjoyed the diverse range of songs, even being nominated for Tim Burgess’ Album of the Year 2021 by Ricky Spence. Their single releases have been similarly well received, Just Like the Sun being voted into the top 30 songs of 2022 in the Indie 100 Cup on In Your Ears Music and Sunflowers being selected as Duggystone Radio’s single of the month for January 2023. 

Their second album, Between The Lies, was released on 1st December 2023 and all profits from sales were donated to the mental health charity, Mind, Body and Sole. Reviews were glowing; "Stunning" "One of the best albums of the year" "Awesome - full of soul" "WOW - something else this album - I'm hooked" "My God - such a fantastic album"...a CD is available for purchase from their Bandcamp page (see linktree below).

Their new EP, The Joy of Six, featuring the latest single, Halo, is due for release in December 2024 and will only be available on Bandcamp,

Active on social media, they are big supporters of the new music scene and love to see people they know doing well. They have no interest in “monetising” their music but get their thrills from knowing that people are playing their music on the radio or listening to them on streaming sites.

After a lot of discussions around practicalities, the band have decided that they will not be playing live gigs and will simply concentrate on sharing the creation of new music online. They continue to live the message “Enjoy yourselves, it’s later than you think, but never too late!”

Antifa is my cousin.  I heard some people were looking for her.  Since I like to be helpful when I can, she was in Alexandria last time I talked to her, three weeks ago.  I think she mentioned going to Zurich in the near future.

As I understand it a conspiracy is supposed to be secret so please don't tell anyone.

Is it 1984 already?!?!

I have not been able to recover access to my other account [https://soundcloud.com/ha-kekong] for a couple of years.  I have tried a few times to get back into it but SoundCloud doesn't trust me.  Same phone number, same email addresses, and they still claim that they can't verify my identity.  I created that account about three years ago as a substitute to my regular account which SoundCloud temporarily closed.  They closed it as part of some upgrade procedure in their system, the result of a bug that affected many accounts, about two years ago.  Since SC did not inform its users I didn't know if that was permanent or not, so I created that other account which I can't access.  Don't be mad if I have not replied to your message in the past two years, that's because I never got them ; ) ... You can always reach me here though.
...

This one here (957729823) is for regular folks.

I love you, both.

You can't see it because of the angle with which I took the shot, aiming down, but beyond those blocks is the sea.  To the left is the Mediterranean, to the right is the Atlantic Ocean.  No it's not Gibraltar, but a little bit further West. ... Actually I checked recently and it is further North more than West, I thought I was facing South when in fact I probably was facing the Atlantic ocean, which is why I suppose the waves were of a decent size where we were.

I then went ahead and butchered his work with a borrowed helmet.

I'm trying to promote what I think is good music, so if you want to help out a bit I'd rather you [like] or [repost] my *playlists* rather than my field recordings, if you don't mind, unless you are a die hard fan of those things. Thank you ; )

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative maneuvers.
...

Anarchists give me hope.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.  (no connection with the above line)
... and of course Richard Stallman and Linux and all the others.  Bless yous.

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.

Born in Rio de Janeiro - Brazil and raised on the outskirts of the city, in S.J.Meriti. Negro Elmo is a singer and composer in many ways.  A fan of various rhythms and musical genres, he never stops when he decides to express what comes to his mind and heart. Although he found in Rock the way that best conveys his ideas, desires and personality like on Genocida, it is possible that the public will hear all this in other aspects as well like his 1st release solo Far Away From Home. Today Negro Elmo presents in a solo career, his musical influence of several years through a sound that mixes Rock, Jazz, Folk and MPB.
