You were my first (and only) favorite band. I've been a fan since my early teens. Your albums were the only ones I've ever been able to listen to over and over and over again without growing weary of the sound.
I remember getting a "Happy birthday" response from Giti when I wrote to you all on my 16th birthday (many moons ago, now... just celebrated my last 30-something-th bday). Your band was always so accessible, and I loved you all for it. When you all signed my shirt at a Sacramento concert in 1998 (my first of your concerts), I was on top of the world, and you all made me feel special, not like just another fan in line.
Thank you for being such a special spot in my memories, and for still being the tunes I love to have stuck in my head, all these years later. 💗
I sort of need you to know that I think this is your best album--or at least my favorite. I fell in love with the band from this album... living overseas and sort trying to figure life out (at 20). In some ways, this album quieted my heart and in others, raged my inner soul. Thanks for it all.
Rock Crown was my favorite 7M3 album and was one of the most eclectic 90s albums. It had some really heavy rockers, some mid-tempo acoustic & electric songs, some folk-sounding acoustic numbers (with a country feel at times) and there was even a few songs with jazz elements in them.
Not only were all the songs very different and really good, but the album sounded awesome too. It is still one of the best recorded albums I've heard. The guitars had beautiful tones and sounded pristine (especially the acoustic guitars).
The drums felt like they were in the room with you when listening to the CD. And the bass was distinct, melodic and not buried in the mix. A number of songs I've heard that were recorded at Kingsway Studios in New Orleans where I live shared that trait. Pearl Jam's "Nothingman" was recorded there too and that song (in addition to being great) sounds great as well.
I still love the Rock Crown album to this day. Great music stands the test of time. It was SO underrated. But that probably makes me appreciate it even more because it was never overplayed on the radio. Thank you for the great music that I have enjoyed and will continue to enjoy.
What beautiful pieces of art. Such a peaceful song. I would love to have Rock Crown with every song written for it, rearranged and remastered however you would like it to flow together. That album always sounds so good on my surround sound system. Love it!!
Coming soon. We are remastering the record now and will have a full digital release (streaming, for sale on our site) as well as a vinyl pressing. Stay tuned.
Hang tight! They posted this to their Facebook page May 11
‘Hard to believe but today marks the 19th anniversary of Dis/Location. If you've been following our social media you likely know we are planning to re-release this record through all streaming services and press it on vinyl for the first time. That process has taken a few twists and turns but the good news is we have located the original master tapes and are remastering them. Gotta do it right!
As soon as we have the remastered music, we can begin vinyl production and schedule our release dates. Yes, DATES. There will be a digital release date at which time you can pre-order the vinyl too. Vinyl production is backlogged now...7-8 months. So, there will be a delay before you receive the vinyl (kind of a second release date). We've also got some rarities and other cool stuff from the Dis/Location sessions and that era of 7M3, including some recordings even our archivist fans have not heard. It will be cool.
Sorry this is long but we want you to know that things are in the works. Celebrate Dis/Location today and look for more soon!’
You did what ever you wanted - and we were there for it. We still are. ❤️

Thank you for sharing this! Great, as always.
Nice to finally hear these, thanks.

I’m sure I’m not the first one to ask but How do we find Dis/Location on the music services. Apple has very album but that one.
Coming soon. We are remastering the record now and will have a full digital release (streaming, for sale on our site) as well as a vinyl pressing. Stay tuned.
