Hi fellow Progrock Fans,
Everybody here involved with the ARNIOE Project would like to wish you a happy and successful 2011.
In the second week of January, our latest album – ‘Ate My Words’ was released and we are all very excited about the prospects of this effort.
Already we have received strong interest in Brazil, USA, and our biggest customer to date, Europe.
It still might take a few more weeks to reach YOUR favourite music provider, so keep an eye out for it.
You can listen to 30 second samples of every track at our website at:
Just click onto the Discography page and follow the links.
As usual we would love to hear some feedback either in our Guestbook or email me direct at:
Thank you kindly to everyone who has already done so.
In the meantime, stay healthy and happy.
All the best

Hi Everybody,
We hope this newsletter finds you all healthy and happy.
As in the words of the great ‘George Kastanza’ – “I’m back baby”.
Early last month I was hit, head on, by a 4WD while out cycling, but can report to you all that I’m healing very quickly and last week went back into the recording studio to continue working on the new album – ‘Ate My Words’ - due out January next year.
Thank you dearly for all your love and well wishes.
These have really helped me.
Be in touch soon

ARNIOE MORE POPULAR THAN DEEP PURPLE, RUSH, ELP &
URIAH HEEP????????????
Hi everybody.
We hope this letter finds you all healthy and happy.
What’s with the headline dude? (I hear you say)
A few weeks ago ARNIOE was inducted into the Progarchives - see website:
They have over 5000 bands and artists on their site all under the banner of Progressive Rock.
On the home page, they display the top 40 most popular artist and believe it or not, over the past 3 days ARNIOE has been up there placed 10th, 11th & 11th.
A veteran Progarchive reviewer has also reviewed our latest epic double CD – ‘So Heaven Is Gone’ and awarded it 4+ stars out of 5.
Interest has naturally skyrocketed, along with sales, so everybody here involved with the ARNIOE Project would like to thank you all dearly for your support.
Thanks to all our new friends, and everybody who has left their lovely comments in our guestbook.
Take care and be kind to your fellow man
Cheers

Everybody here involved in the ARNIOE Project would like to wish you health and happiness for the New Year.
Our new Epic double CD – “So Heaven Is Gone” has been released last week and if first week sales are anything to go by, this will be our biggest album so far.
It contains 19 tracks and over 1 hour 50 minutes of mega production ARNIOE music.
We are especially pleased acquiring the services of “The Dover Gospel Singers”
to do some backing vocals, along with Mahne Dupre. Greg Genna has once again contributed to some great guitar solo work and just for something different young Julie Wright plays Cello on “Distant Memory”.
A million thanks to Rob Power for all of his efforts and long hours in developing our brand new website.

We hope this letter finds you healthy & happy.
All the music recording for our new DOUBLE CD ALBUM – “So Heaven Is Gone” - has been completed late October and we are right on schedule for early January 2010 release.
The album contains 19 compositions and culminates in some 1 hour 45 minutes total music time – (extremely rare) (in fact if anyone DOES know of, or has an album that has longer music time, please let me know – thanks).
We have some very interesting, special artists for this album including the extremely talented female vocals of Mahnie Dupmae, The Dover Gospel Singers, The Sowetu Village Choir, some fantastic bass guitar from Dan Edwards, Mike Phillips doing some Clavichord parts and Greg Genna some lead guitar parts as well.
So, to all our fans out there, you can have a sneak preview of 3 songs :

Hi Everyone
We hope this letter finds you healthy & happy.
Sorry for not having made contact with you for a while, but when I’m in the ‘creating mode’ I really suck at the communication side of this business.
We’ve been absolutely flat out creating our next album – due out in January 2010 – titled:
‘So Heaven Is Gone’
The song writing machine was in overdrive over the last few months and we’ve churned out so much good material that we’ve decided that ‘So Heaven Is Gone’ will become similar to the good old fashioned ‘double LP’ and contain approx 90 minutes of compositions.
Furthermore, we have upgraded the recording studio which enables us to have vastly more recording tracks on this album which means BIGGER production and BIGGER sound. In the meantime there is still a lot of work to be done but we are all ecstatic with the results so far.
We will let you know how things are going.
Thanks to everybody who has signed the guestbook at: www.arnioe.com
or emailed me at:
with all your lovely messages and inspirational lines.
Take care and be kind to your fellow man.
Cheers

Let us know what you think of this via the guestbook or Rob's website www.robertpower.com.au his contact details can be found there.

Hi everybody.
We hope this message finds you all healthy and happy.
It has been a while since the last Newsletter and we do apologise, but super guitarist Greg Genna and myself have had an extremely productive period with writing and recording.
As well as that we were asked by our good friend Rob Power to provide 8 minutes worth of music for one of his side ventures – a photo motion DVD slide show to commemorate the last 12 months of Rugby Union in Cootamundra. Check it out at www.robertpower.com.au For any fan of rugby and photography it is a great DVD and we have been told sales are going well.
We have been getting some great feedback so have decided to re record the last section of the song (for better album appeal) and use it on the next album.
The latest album ‘For I’ve Been There” has been selling very well (thanks again Dover, Delaware, USA and your fan base) and thanks to everyone around the world for your support.
Well, until next time. Keep up with the latest at:
www.arnioe.com
Thanks again to everybody who has signed the guestbook. Your kind words are our inspiration.
Also thaaaaaaaaank yoooooooooou to everybody who has bought our albums.
So, until next newsletter,

Hi everybody.
Well, believe it or not, we are putting down the finishing touches to the new album. We have a few more individual parts to record before it goes to the final mixdown. This last stage of recording (final mixdown) could take up to 20 goes to get everything just sounding sweet, so we are probably aiming for around May 08 for release.
The album title????? : (you guys are the first to know)
“FOR I’VE BEEN THERE”
Sounds weird, but you’ll get a better idea of the topic when you combine it with the album cover artwork – thank you project team.
And the songs????? :
9 songs to total (another generous full hour of music):
1. Intro #5 – 2.30
2. Starters Gun – 7.23
3. Dreaming – 7.11
4. Butterflies & Chains – 8.55
5. Pachamama – 7.25

Hi everybody,
Literally just hours, fresh out of the studio, in dedication to Dario & Sabine and the Top To Top Expedition, we will post this new song - "Pachamama" (Mother Earth - name of their sailing boat) in our "freebies" section. Just sign the guestbook and follow
the instructions to download this and the other 6 songs (if you have not already).
Arnie about "Pachamama":
"It features wind, waves, and whales, a driving synth bass line to simulate motion, off beat time signature to depict the unpredictable, the acoustic guitar sounds of South America and a fairly long ending to depict the long journey. - Quite an interesting piece - Enjoy
Talk to ya's soon

ARNIOE NEWSLETTER - JANUARY 2008
Hi everybody.
It is with great pleasure that we can announce that ARNIOE has been chosen to provide the backing music & film score for the unbelievable real life expedition which is “TOP TO TOP”
See www.toptotop.org
A Swiss couple, Dario and Sabine Schwoerer set off in December 2002, to sail, cycle and climb the 7 continents and their highest peaks. Underway Sabine gave birth to Selina 3 ½ and Andri 1 ½ (both born in Chile ) who now travel with them. The expedition should finish in 2014. Their cause is to raise awareness of the environment and global warming.
As their project does rely heavily on public donation, a percentage of all ARNIOE CD sales will go back to help support their expedition.
Check out their web site at: www.toptotop.org and if you can, get behind them.
Thanks again to everybody who has signed the guestbook. Your kind words are our inspiration.
Also thaaaaaaaaank yoooooooooou to everybody who has bought the album.
So, until next newsletter,
take care and “SPREAD THE WORD”
