The title was not meant 2 be faecaecous but reflective of mine abscence sans a few replies.

Sooooo, in response to the "what happened 2...." thread created a while ago, validated 2 see my name appear so here goes.

As U can tell, I don't really post on this forum much anymore, there seemed 2 B a weird vibe going on around here and peoples posting became relatively dormant as a result - Y, well only those that know, do.

Anyhoo, fait accomplis, I have been lurkin, trying 2 get 2 work with some ppl, apologies 2 ol' Flashpointe 4 not being in touch, I've been rehearsing hard with my band "Harambe" (not my band per se but I am front man on stage!).

We've just finished a 2-week tour of Spain which doubled up as a holiday of sorts which was quite amazing. A DVD is being anticipated as we speak.

I'm now in a collecive called Stone Jam playing Keys with my brother playing Drums every Tuesday in Brixton, South London, UK which is going exceptionally well.

I'm also working with my brother in a production unit with a publishing group who do stuff for The Darkness, Elaine Paige et al called Peer Music, this has been a continuing project but we've now found a singer to accomodate the style and we've just been cracking on with that too.

As a result, I've hardly had the time to write & record any of my material (although I have been writing with "Harambe") and am still adamant to make another filmshort. Am also sufferin' from a major writers block as we all do from time 2 time I am sincerely sure so that probably attributes to it.

I am currently deciding which direction 2 go in now. I have decided 2 retire myself as a Drummer in an attempt to be taken even more seriously as a multi-instrumentalist, playing various instruments (including vocals) for various outfits.

I will by next week however, release the TamRated sessions I did, on-line for free download (artwork et al), before bowing out for a bit.

Annually, I release a new album of material but this year could see a gap OR, it could be my final album for a good while. I'll be contributing to other artists, even producing them if need be but right now, The DreZone is on hiatus!

In regards to other ORGers, I will say that this forum ain't a one-person show, don't be afraid 2 show what U can do. Just because someone is doing so much more and publicising it, don't make a hobbyist any less of a person for what they do - the bottom line is, U R DOING IT... Music, art, poetry and creative artform that is demonstrated needs 2 BE EXPRESSED AND NOT SUPPRESSED.

As for those trying 2 make an impact on this forum, sometimes you have 2 give to receive. No point in trying 2 promote yourself if U R not prepared to acknowledge others. this is an Org Artist COMMUNITY - not individual immunity.

In short, support others so they will support U 2.

All the best.

SUP MY BRUTHA!!??

I know u have a very busy life. Even I have been out of the limelight here. I feel we all have, even some newbies came and went without my knowledge. I remember the good ol days when we would just sit and wait for another artist to have a new jam up, then we all would have nu cuts on by the weekend

I really miss u man. Miss our yahoo chats

I was just talking about you yesterday Dre! When I first came to the org you had just finished your solo CD and I was humbled by your experience. And now that I'm going thru something similar, I wanted to bug you with questions about it, but didn't think you popped up around these parts anymore. Glad to hear you're doing so much.

Wish I could have a Spain tour that doubled as a vacation. Awesome.
