Information
The first part of Dub Rogue's psychoanalytical memoir "The Story of a Life" is a 16-track-strong CD album that includes an 8 page booklet explaining the story which is told by the songs.
Inspired by musical fairytales like "Peter and the Wolf" by Prokofjew, "Dreams of a Lost Soul" follows the prince of an unknown kingdom who had to flee after a revolt, and is wandering the realms in search of a new melody for his life.
Parts 2 and 3 were planned to come after 15 years each, however, part 2 eventually took 16 years due to delays caused by the covid pandemic situation around 2020. After the release in 2021, the final conclusion of the series is now scheduled for 2037, if Dub Rogue is still in this realm of existence by then.
The CD-release of this album was made possible by a Japanese distribution deal through Cisco for two Dub Flash CDs (the other being DFR010). The (very) last copy sold on 21.04.2021, however, all other copies had been sold by 2015 at the latest. 28 copies are missing in my sales/inventory list. I don't know why. 2 copies were destroyed by CD Baby when they closed their warehouse and I didn't want them to send those copies back at my expense.
A 2x12" vinyl dubplate cut of this album exists.
Please spread the word, if you like it. And also, if you don't. Someone else might like it. Thank you for your support.
