Accept bassist Martin Motnik recently released his second solo album, Dream Chaser. He has checked in with the following update:
"It's been an amazing year, and it's going out with another bang: my album is finally available on vinyl! Thanks to the generous help by Craig Lindsley of Lindsley Records I've been able to put this bass-heavy music on heavy 180g vinyl records, for best audio quality! High fidelity for low frequencies!
And right now I'm offering to make customized shirts that were previously reserved for my amazing crowdfunding supporters. I will personally customize your shirt with your name so you can tell the world that you're a Dream Chaser too!"
Go to this location to purchase Dream Chaser on vinyl LP and the customized shirts.
Dream Chaser consists of 10 bass-centric songs, with each song featuring a solo by a prolific guest musician. Artists joining Mornik on the record include Joe Satriani, Wolf Hoffmann (Accept), Bruce Kulick (ex-KISS, Grand Funk Railroad), Frank Gambale (Chick Corea), Trev Lukather (Steve Lukather's son) Andy Timmons (ex-Danger Danger), Mattias IA Eklundh (Freak Kitchen), Tim Tucker (United States Marine Band), Jennifer Batten (Michael Jackson, Jeff Beck), and Derek Sherinian (ex-Dream Theater, Sons Of Apollo).
Like on his first solo album, Bass Invader, with Gregg Bissonette (Ringo Starr All-Star Band, David Lee Roth), Motnik is again relying on world-class drumming, this time by Christopher Williams (Accept, Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley), Walfredo Reyes Jr. (Carlos Santana, Chicago, Steve Winwood), Joe Babiak (Michael Angelo Batio, Attitudes & Altitude) and Bissonette.
Motnik: "On my new album I thought that every song should feature a guest solo, ideally each one played by a different guest. That artist should also be someone who was influential to my musical development or who meant a lot to me on a musical or personal level. Basically, I wanted to have an album where I’m playing with my heroes."
Motnik released the album on his own record label, Kintom Music. Stay tuned for updates.
