So why not let it take you away, even for just an instant?<!--more--> Pre-EP is the group&#8217;s fist record and it was released about two years ago. Although the band typically plays and sounds like any other post-instrumental rock band out there, the group nevertheless creates lush soundscapes that are interesting and easy to fall in love with.<\/p>\n<div style=\"display:inline; float:right; padding-left:10px\"><object width=\"250\" height=\"380\" classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http:\/\/fpdownload.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0\" align=\"middle\"><param name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\" \/><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/widgets.jamendo.com\/en\/album\/?album_id=32577&#038;playertype=2008\" \/><param name=\"quality\" value=\"high\" \/><param name=\"bgcolor\" value=\"#FFFFFF\" \/>&nbsp;<\/embed>&nbsp;<\/object><a href=\"http:\/\/pro.jamendo.com\/\" style=\"display:block;font-size:8px !important;\">Free music for professional licensing<\/a><\/div>\n<p>Some of the more standout tracks in the album includes track number 2, <em>The Only Easy Day Was Yesterday<\/em>. The soft guitar work and the solemn intro, works great for creating a somber mood. The track swells up to rockish guitar however, it&#8217;s hard to take the full effect of the crescendo since the recording is a bit muffled. <em>A Friend Across the Margin<\/em> features samples in between guitar work as well as a weird symphony orchestra closing.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the album is nothing absolutely special, but it is definitely an interesting album if you just want something to accompany you in your quiet afternoon.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nRelated Links:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/whiletheyweresleeping\" target=\"_blank\">While They Were Sleeping on Myspace<\/a><br \/>\n<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thesirenssound.com\/2010\/05\/19\/while-they-were-sleeping-pre-ep\/\" target=\"_blank\">While They Were Sleeping on The Siren Sound Blog<\/a><br \/>\n<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.last.fm\/music\/While+They+Were+Sleeping\/+wiki?ver=1\" target=\"_blank\">While They Were Sleeping on Last FM<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"license\" href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/3.0\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-width: 0\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.creativecommons.org\/l\/by-sa\/3.0\/88x31.png?w=1200\" alt=\"Creative Commons License\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThis work is licensed under a <a rel=\"license\" href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"frost-2981600449\" class=\"gas_fallback-ad_98517--placement_102160\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-9536139424546116\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9536139424546116\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5501023798\" \ndata-ad-format=\"autorelaxed\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Post instrumental Singaporean band quietly showcases their thoughts and ideals.<\/strong> <strong>Pre-EP by While They Are Sleeping<\/strong> is a short but melodically sweet sounding EP that touches your senses.
