Approaching Nirvana

Hello! This blog post will be dedicated to the two gentlemen known as 'Approaching Nirvana' and all the people who have sang on their tracks.

Approaching Nirvana is the name of the group of two guys who compose electronica songs. Now i've never been a big fan of electronica but I became a huge fan of these guys when I discovered their music through my favorite Youtuber 'Wolv21'. Which is the point i'm about to get to.

The reason I love these guys is 1. They make amazing music that I listen to very often (right now i'm listening to their Illusions album!) and 2. They allow the use of their music as long as you give them credit either in the video or description. I think its great when artists allow their music to be used in youtube videos, and i've used their music in some videos, maybe in a couple of intros and some Minecraft videos I have done in the past such as my Hunger Games mod series and Mod Adventures 2.

I think that artists that don't allow people to use their music aren't making the best decision but it is completely up to them. I just feel allowing Lets Players and other Youtubers use their music spreads the word and people will discover the music and will want to buy it. That is exactly what happened to me. I've purchased all of their albums and listened to them all multiple times (except the newest release, I've only listened to it a couple of times). They also release albums fairly often. Most current day artists release albums around every three to five years. These guys release at least one every year. I believe the new one they have planned to release before Christmas will be the second for the year 2013, and that is not including their EP they release earlier this year.

Basically all I wanted to get at in this post was check these guys out! They make really great music, they are very kind, and they enjoy Minecraft! They even dedicated an album to Minecraft players titled 'Blocking the Sky' which is a really great album. Heck everything they've done is great. They have some songs with vocals and some without, and each album that has vocals on songs has an instrumental version in case anybody just wants the instrumental parts. I usually listen to both if they are on an album.

Anyways, wanted to just promote some great guys. You are able to listen to all their songs on their youtube page http://www.youtube.com/approachingnirvana and all of their albums are here on their site: http://music.approachingnirvana.com . So if you want to listen to their music before buying then those are the places to do so.
Trust me, they are worth buying!
Thank you for reading, this will probably be the only time I promote an artist I enjoy on this blog, but i'm not making any promises!
