Bart Furp Apparently Chris Olley wakes in the morning, leaps out of bed, then writes and records an album.

Then, after walking the dog out for a poop, he goes home, where he writes and records another album.

And none of it sucks.

Take note, GNR. 15 years for Chinese Democracy?

Jason Rowe Once again Chris has produced a wonderfully diverse set of songs at times haunting,melancholic,yet full of hope that deserves a wide audience within the alternative music scene and beyond.They are that good.

gavinbradley This is good. I reckon I’ve heard quite a bit of what Chris Olley has released and this is deffo up near the top. Favorite track: Look At You.

Stuart Haynes JRR Tolkien said “I cordially dislike allegory in all its manifestations, and always have done so since I grew old and wary enough to detect its presence. ... I think that many confuse applicability with allegory, but the one resides in the freedom of the reader, and the other in the purposed domination of the author.”

Chris Olley manages to bring contemporary concerns into his lyrics, despite awesome musicality that is fed from decades of influence. “Then” is awesome, totally perfect. Favorite track: Then Some....

mathias skeppstedt Then Some... is this amazing piece of music that is very hypnothic and wonderful. It goes in circles and moves constantly without ever getting uninteresting. I’ve had it on repeat the whole afternoon and I absolutely love it. It is so immersive. Probably my favorite piece of music right now. Favorite track: Then Some....

watercoolerdictator If you don't have time for the gargantuan Then Some..., Can You Wait You Sick Old Man (at a 'measly' 12 minutes) has perhaps one of the most exquisite payoffs in 6x7's history. Dig in... Favorite track: Then (Can You Wait, You Sick Old Man?).

In spite of you is where I am Inside of you is where I am I came across to you When I needed a friend I left myself wide open to you And how we tumbled And how we fell And we never found ourselves Back in this place again Now my eyes grow blurry And my vision is clear As my ears fade away I can hear you all too well All too well I left myself wide open to you I left myself wide open to you When I needed you You deserted me for sure Just like you said you always would And how we tumbled And how we fell And how we tumbled And how we fell This was love, although...

about

When you buy the cd, each track merges into the other to create one long seamless track (with ID marks, so you can skip between tracks too)

The songs Spirit and Blind Faith were included on the MixTape #8 cd but the ones on this album are different mixes and have bits added, especially Spirit, which has a completely different ending with a new guitar solo.

You get both Now and Then albums with the download. There is also a bonus track included and the full-length version of the track 'Space Now' (these are included with both CD and download)

'Now' Album Total running time is 1 Hour 11 minutes and 23 seconds

The 'Then' album has two tracks, one is a typical six by seven track, Then (Can You Wait, You Sick Old Man), and the other is a piece of music that takes all the different parts of the Now album, throws them up in the air, and reassembles them in a completely different way, adding new parts, and taking other parts away.

'Then' Album Total running time is 1 hour 11 minutes and 20 seconds
