Brony EDM Legend Archie Collab Album, "The Dessolation of Archie", Releases August 16
This August, the electronic pony music world is about to be taken by storm.
EDM
producer Archie (now also known as Desso) has been hard at work on his
brand new album, "The Dessolation of Archie". The album is an
unpredecented collaboration between Archie and many of the fandom's most
respected musical minds, including:
- Aftermath
- ArtAttack
- Eurobeat Brony
- JayB
- Knife Pony
- OMNI
- Silva Hound
- The Living Tombstone
These
awesome musicians joined together to support their fellow brony in his
time of need. *All* of the proceeds from sales of this new album will go
to fund much-needed surgery for Archie.
The album will release on Sunday, August 17, 2014 at 1:00am Eastern, and will be available via Archie's Bandcamp page: http://mrarchie.bandcamp.com/
About The Cause
Some of Archie's fans know about his health situation, but for those of you who don't, here's a quick summary:
Several
months ago, Archie began experiencing severe headaches, migraines,
nausea, pain, fever and other symptoms. A trip to the doctor initially
revealed a kidney infection, but further investigation showed a more
sinister cause for his problems: an arachnoid cyst (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Because of the cyst's proximity to Archie's vital
organs, removal is a very risky process that carries with it the danger
of a rupture or lethal infection. Unfortunately, surgery is the only
remaining option as the cyst continues to grow. Over the next 6-24
months, the growing cyst will put increasing pressure on his spinal
column, slowly debilitating and possibly eventually killing him.
For more on Archie's condition, including supporting
documentation and x-ray scans, visit the Wolf Beats page dedicated to
his fundraiser: http://www.wolfbeats.com/#!
For years now, Archie has poured his heart and soul
into his music, and the brony community owes him an immense debt of
gratitude for the amazing music he has produced. His music has not only
kept us all entertained throughout the years, but it has inspired many
of our favorite musicians to take the plunge into music production
themselves. Because of the influence Archie has had on the pony music
world, many of our favorite musicians put their minds together and
produced this amazing album to support his continuing health.
