12 Oct 09 Jukebox #1 Eleon
What a cool start of our new machine! Throw in some coins and enjoy… the Spacemusic Jukebox plays all kinds of music, music under Creative Commons License, music with permission from the artists themselves, most important: music that is worth listening to, as many times as you want!!!
Jukebox #1 - Eleon’s real name is Michael Leon Rogers. Michael Was born in Waco, Texas in 1970. He was raised in Mesquite Texas and lived there for 30 years. He came from a home of loving parents that taught him the value of hard work and endurance. Back in 1998, Michael and his friend, graphic designer James Forbs, created Michael’s Eleon name and logo from his middle name, Leon. Even though he has composed music under his real name, Eleon seems to be the name people remember and like the most. Michael has had a few toy keyboards since 1987 and one professional low end keyboard (Korg N-364) back in 1998. He said he always felt like he could compose better if he just had the right gear. Michael has since moved back to Waco, Texas and in February 2008, he was given that opportunity to compose the music of his dreams with an apple imac and some software. “I now feel that I can compose the way I want to with only a little inconvenience, as my imac has limited ram and can barely give me the quality and sound I want,” he laughs. Today Michael is still creating new music under Eleon and has composed 115 tracks since 2008. Michael believes that if you don’t create and or write from the heart, you are not being true to yourself and the world loses out on the art and storytelling that we all need to keep moving on to wonderful worlds and dreams ahead. ”I thank God and my parents for their love and support and friends who believed in me.” Michael L. Rogers - Eleon

This is a great track. It think it has a nice Gary Numan-esque sound, especially the bass line.

This might be my favorite of the Jukebox tracks (I’m up to #20).
The instant the sound started I was reminded of another artist who has a very similar style: Patrick O’Hearn. Go and check out “Coba” from O’Hearn’s album, “Indigo” and see what I mean.
More like this. Thanks!
