For the past half hour, I've been listening to "Gone" from pandemoniumfromamerica. I just keep repeating it over and over. Fascinating.

You know, regardless of Elijah's stated feelings about actors who insist on trying to be recording artists (which I deeply appreciate, by the way), I gotta say I wish he would record. He has a beautiful singing voice. I'd heard him sing now and then as an actor, of course, and I wasn't ever impressed, and now I realize it's because it was always a character singing. It was never Elijah.

I'm especially impressed by how different his voice is than I expected. Total cliche but true: I expected him to sound much younger, lighter than he does. (Ridiculous, ain't it?) But it's deeper and richer than I thought it would be. There's a bottom in there too, nice dark layer underneath that tells me his voice would get better with age. It gives the impression of a voice that would get more profound as it experienced more of life to sing about.

You are an angel, Serai! Thank you - downloading now, and will listen as soon as there's not a roomful of people watching something else!

BTW - here's a link to the album, with some pics, in case anyone wants to check it out. http://www.tdrsmusic.com/viggomortensen.html

How's the rest of it? Fascinating concept. Go, Viggo and guys.

I've only heard this track and "Half Fling", so I've got no idea what the album sound like otherwise, though I'd be interested in hearing it.

Here is a link for a track called Shadow, which features Dom. It's very dark, and sexy. :)

I hadn't realised that Elijah played instruments on some other tracks! Thanks for sharing the link :)

Welcome. Very intriguing, isn't it? I knew he played piano - this must have been so much fun to do!
