Resynthesize

Heart and Soul Direct was released in 2006, although some of the songs dated back to 1998 (Out of the Circle Again). It was my first proper net-label release and it turned out be relatively popular. Here's the release description from experimedia.com:

"Sacramento, California based artist Resynthesize graces the Experimedia catalog with his impressive debut effort, Heart and Soul Direct. A trip through beautifully written melodic beat driven IDM Electronica. Resynthesize captures the perfect balance of playfull and dark tones with his creative song writing and prisitine production. Heart and Soul Direct, while maintaining an overall cohesive sound, plays through various themes taking subtle nods to established artists such as Plaid, Chris Clark, Quench, o9, and Brothomstates. The album closes with a bonus remix by the ever prolific Milieu. Expertly mastered by Twerk at AudibleOddities.com."
