Thanks wheels128 & Arioch - glad you guys like the songs. Thanks too for the positive feedback.
More songs will come shortly after March 17th. The album drops online on May 11th. I have several gaming convention appearances throughout the Summer & Fall scheduled where the soundtrack will also be available. Lots of opportunities to pick it up!
As for the length of the songs... generally speaking I do 4-5 minute songs. However, for the CyberNet Official Roleplaying Soundtrack I opted for 24 shorter tracks filling in 70+ minutes on one CD instead of 12 or so epic songs. Every track I recorded tells a little piece of an imaginary tale... and the numerous short tunes was a better format than longer.
As for recording... I use Sonar on my PC. I had access to 5 different keyboards/synths/electric piano - including my favorite little microKORG. I use a Korg Electribe rhythm synth (ER-1), and lots of layered loops & samples from Sony/Sonic Foundry Acid packages, Computer & Future Music magazines, and online resourses. I also played a lot of the bass guitar myself and had guest musicians on most of the guitar work and some of the drum patterns.
Thanks again guys!
