There are times when I really love this website. Not only does it provide me with a possibility to tell the world about quality music but from time to time it also gives me the chance to get in contact with musicians or bands I’m a fervent fan of for many years. Take Gary Hines and his mighty Sounds Of Blackness for example. I love them since I’ve first listened to the 12″ single Optimistic. The recent release of the new SOB’s album Unity was a legitimate reason to ask Gary a few questions.
Q: Please tell me the story and motivation behind the new album Unity.
Gary Hines: Sounds of Blackness has always had a world -view perspective on life. We are committed to do our part to remedy and rectify the rampant war, hunger, hate and divisivemness in the world today by issuing a clariion call for “UNITY”. “UNITY” is Sounds of Blackness contribtion to the movement for worldwide peace, love and harmony.
Q: How did you team up with producer LaSalle Gabriel ?
Gary Hines: Sounds of Blackness has worked with LaSalle Gabriel on and off for several years - primarily as a guitarist. When his record label, SLR had a distribution slot for a project, he contacted us and the rest is history.
