Hello  to  everyone  who  attended   IMX 1999  in  NYC.

It   was   a   great    event !

Announcement: AUGUST 8th, 1999

New CD titled   "DEMO 1999"   now available !!!!

In honor of the new release, and the new level that M.E. has reached,  this website is in the process of being re-designed.

A link at the bottom will take you to the old website, which still has much to offer though some of the info is dated.

•  Hard & Heavy Rock & Blues

• Original and Cover Material,  Instrumental and Vocal

• Unique "One- Man Show"
  Former member of OVERLORDE and BREAKER M.E.

__________________________________________

The CD "DEMO 1999" consists of three new, original songs by M.E.

The Fire Inside My Heart  ,   Friends  ,    and     Say What You Mean

Each song displays a different aspect of M.E.'s talents and songwriting style.

For the first time, his vocal talent is prominently displayed. So to those who have known M.E. for his instrumental guitar demos, be ready for a new M.E.

Also new is the fact that this demo was recorded with living, breathing musicians (prior demos relied on programmed drum machines for drums and bass).

Mark “M.E.” Edwards:  Lead  and Background Vocals, Lead and rhythm guitar; bass guitar

Brian Hurst:   Acoustic and V-Drums , percussion

Many thanks to Brian for  a job well done !!!!

Also, many thanks to some of the people whose professional encouragement and help over the years made this CD possible:

Rich Koerner,  Dan Bracuto,  Dianne Wesley,  Tom Ragusa

The demo was recorded in M.E.'s home studio and Brian Hurst's "3i" home studio using a Roland VS-1680 digital workstation.

With consent, here are e-mail quotes about the DEMO 1999 :

"Mark Baby - I have listened to and enjoyed  your cd. Thanks for your stuff ...   I do dig your CD and it seems you are doing something that can be timeless for you. Keep at it."   - Charlie Farren , FarrenHeit Recording artist. Former vocalist  & guitarist with  FARRENHEIT and THE JOE PERRY PROJECT  

"Good stuff, man!  Very powerful. You've got a very intense voice...  Your guitar is burnin'!  ...you've got one hell of a drummer there!  Very solid -- A real rocker.   Brian's got it, man." - Ralph Farris,  Conductor/Composer/Arranger

"Mark,   Just to let you know the stuff I heard was great. The sound is definitely coming together. A lot of it reminds me of Guns N Roses. Let me know how you made out at the show (IMX) too".    - Danny B,   Vocalist and Recording Artist / Drago'n B  Productions (based on the MP3 Sampler file):

"Hi Mark! I have listened to your CD many times, I think it is great and will listen to it many many more times. I know you will do well good luck."   - Kenny P.

"Hi Mark,  I was listening to the CD you gave me and I thought it was a noble effort at an almost forgotten style, "good old" hard rock music. I found it progressive yet still encapsulating the traditional rock-guitar sound and feel. I think the progressive side had most to do with the tasty, technical, but not overbearing guitar solos. The ballad (Friends) on the CD was also not one of your run of the mill ballads, but had a different sort of Alice In Chains feel to it.  Nice work!         I'm looking forward to hearing more from you.  Thanks"  -TelepathyEpisode

"The c.d. is good. I have listened to your c.d. several times and think the "Tunes are catchy and lyrics are original".  Good luck ...    I'm sure you will do GREAT."   - Ken H.
