2009.09.13 -- darksecretlove.com moves

It's time to change servers. I'm hoping this is transparent, otherwise everyone who uses darksecretlove.com for their mission critical data is going to be calling support ;-) -aki


2009.07.26 -- New Escape(Window) remixes!

Listen to the new Escape(Window) remixes on the new Slave Unit remix cd, Certificate of Participation (available from a Slave Unit member near you; soon to be on CDBaby and iTunes)

The cd is awesome and worth owning and treasuring! I did tracks 3 and 6, Etched (Escape(Window) Bowel Disruptor mix) and Go (Escape(Window) Haunted mix)

Take a listen! And come see one of our upcoming shows! -aki

2004.08.20 -- misc update

I've fixed the links page (now you can choose to open links in this window, a new one, or a single outside window, and it will actually work). I'm not sure if many people use the page; it's a personal bookmark collection for me, so I use it quite a bit.

I'm also thinking about recording my parts for certain songs like Shattered and Heartfelt Braindead and passing them off to Finn. If that goes anywhere, we may have a new EP in the works; if not, I've just gotten your hopes up in vain. Moo hoo ha ha.

2004.06.10 -- comp cds

Aki's gone and started a solo project. There's an mp3 up there for those interested.

2003.07.30 -- dsl mkv.v release

We've changed servers and I've ported the site to perl (from php). The changes should be fairly transparent.


2003.06.09 -- Finished recording

We finished recording our album with Mark Pistel. We still have to get it mastered and finish artwork, but meanwhile there are some mp3s of The Last Time, including a Mark Pistel remix, up on the mp3 page.


2003.05.12 -- In the studio

We've reserved a professional studio for the last week of May/first week of June to record/mix our first album, The Boy Who Flew Too Close To the Sun. Our cover art is in the works, and t-shirts are on the horizon.


2003.02.24 -- new mp3

There's a new mp3, Waste Away, on the mp3 page. I also decided to post Full Circle up there.


2002.11.15 -- new mp3

There's a new mp3, Solace, on the mp3 page. That was me getting sidetracked from the other songs.


2002.08.15 -- dsl mkv release

This is now the (depending on how you count) fifth incarnation of this site. (Thanks to Josie Nutter for the basic design concept.)

I'll be tweaking things for quite a while, I'm sure, but hopefully I'll be happy with this design for a bit.
