It's rather quiet around a minor theory these days. Vox and spinmeister are still good friends and stay in touch all the time, just very occupied with other activities. Vox is very busy with his real world band Wayside Drive. Spin has been a virtual studio musician for some of their newer songs and keeps himself busy remixing over at ccMixter.org. Also, there are blogs by vox and spinmeister. If you'd like to have a go at remixing any of our a minor theory songs, all individual parts for our songs are available as remix packs and we also encourage remixers to upload any of their a minor theory remixes to ccMixter.org, where they will find a wider audience than on our site here.

Maxwell's remix of "Wait" just received an Editor's Pick at ccMixter.org and is also featured in a video on deviantart

Congratulations to Maxwell!

Maxwell just submitted a great take on "Wait" - he writes: "Hi guys, how is it going? This is a new arrangement of your beautiful track, not exactly a remix. I changed some chords here and there, added new instruments (played by myself) but the structure of the song is nearly the same of the original. Hope you enjoy. P.S. Thank you for giving us such nice material to work with. I'm waiting for the next one!"

You can find it under the "Remixes" link in the main menu above

Essesq just sent us her long awaited and great old school remix of Santiago, called "His Mirror Sees". You can find under the "Remixes" link in the main menu.

She writes: "Well Guys, this one is for you! A labor of love. What was hardest for me was making a "real song" and following the repeated advice of many who told me to mess with the vocals!! I did mess with them a little so I hope you don't mind Vox! I learned a lot doing this so maybe the next one won't take so long to produce. I think I could have produced a real living child in the time it took me to do this but this was and will remain much less expensive! Thanks for the stuff to work with it was a lot of fun."

You can also find essesq at ccMixter.

After a long pause, we've finally posted a new song - rather coincidentally, but quite appropriately titled "wait". Click on the "Listen" link, if you want to give it a spin. As always, remix packs to follow shortly. Lyrics just below this post or under the "Lyrics" menu item. -Spinmeister

Wow, it's been a while! We haven't given up! Spinmeister and I decided to branch out a bit with this one. I'm very happy with the results. Please post some comments and let us know what you think. And more importantly, post some remixes!!!! -Vox

remix pack for this song and our others are now available at ccMixter.org

Wait

wait... close your eyes
you'll leave behind a world with dark and gloomy skies
you won't find days with all the endless struggle of life.

I dreamt I was a butterfly, or did I?

roads once paved with high hopes, now seem nowhere bound
all our best designs, lie scattered on the ground


wait... until you sleep,
you will find all the dreams you always try to keep
you will find love and all the things you’ve always hoped for

I dreamt I was a butterfly, or did I?

Lives, once faint whispers, their fullness has been found
all our best designs, are written with the sound


wait... until you wake,
you have found all the dreams are falling into place
you have found love and all the things you’ve always hoped for

I dreamt I was a butterfly, or did I?

rustyjam just sent us his kicking remix of "Dream in Blue". He writes "I played live all guitars and the bass, while the drums are played by a real drummer, then sampled and rearranged by me. The only sounds that I kept from the original arrangement are the keyboards and, of course, the vocals. I hope you like it!!"

You can find it under the "Remixes" link in the main menu above.

DJ Rkod just sent us what may be the very first unofficial video of a amt song ever:


"This just in... Apparently my "Trance In Blue" edit of Dream In Blue causes toy helicopters to crash. Please do not ride toy helicopters while listening to this remix."

Thanks for sending us this funny little link, Rkod! Brilliant!

UPDATE: George's Nexus mix of Static Attraction is also featured in a RC helicopter video from the same site.

Our good friend Loveshadow has just submitted this little news morsel via the "Submit News" link (visible to logged in members):

"I have started a blog. There are a lot of things that are occurring to me after spending the last two years online mixing plus some random junk that needs a place to live. If i tell people then hopefully i will keep it up and who knows by the law of averages i may even write something worth reading. http://loveshadow247.blogspot.com/ Ls
