'THUS Unplugged' coming 2013

'THUS Unplugged' is for the fans. Let me elaborate: The aim of this release is to shine new light on the original compositions. Serious time and effort has gone into THUS I & II,  and along the way many ideas are left by the wayside. As was apparent between the original release of THUS II and the revamped 2012 version, every song evolves over time until it's final release. Inevitably, there is always trimming, editing, and other difficult decisions to make. 'THUS Unplugged' is my opportunity to not only spotlight the bare essence of the original compositions, but to reintroduce some bits left on the cutting room floor that didn't work in the 'heavier' renditions.  The EP started off as bonus tracks to be included with the 2012 rereleases of the first 2 albums. After recording 2 tracks, it was decided that, since they sounded so great that it was a tease to only release the two. So now it's a full EP...two tracks of which will be selected by YOU, the fans. If you haven't voiced your suggestions yet, listen to as much THUS as you want on the player at the main page above, and cast your vote at either Facebook.com/thusmusic or vote and join the mailing list at the same time at thus.insider@gmail.com . I'm accepting votes for only a couple more days so don't miss out on the opportunity to choose! Thanks~ Mike P.S. Watch for a preview of the EP...
