The Other Famous People: Cheer!
Produced and Engineered by Ryan CollierReleased December 2007
Limited Availability
This EP was recorded by Ryan Collier and Lisa LeCavalier in the spare bedroom on a few rainy fall days. It's impossible to avoid all that holiday music, so we figured, "if ya can't beat 'em, join 'em!" Three classic holiday tunes ("Go Tell it on the Mountain", "Christmas Time is Here", Jolly Old St. Nick") and one original ("End of Year Cheer") round out this little EP. It was joyfully sent to friends and family in lieu of a Christmas card in 2008.

This was a hammond organ, drum and bass trio project of John Armbruster, Kit Wolverton and Mike Springer. This record was tracked live at the now defunct Top of the Hill studio near the university in Reno. Mike Springer was the leader on this project and made a fantastic first record out of it. I hope they actually put it up on the web one of these days. Contact Mike or visit their myspace.com webpage and bug them about it!

Ballin' Outta Control (single track)
Engineered and Mixed by Ryan Collier
Released April 2004
Available on Amazon.com
Ryan knew Raskal growing up so naturally they got together for this track in Michael Furlong's studio. Ryan had a blast making this!
Synth drenched beats continue on Raskal's "Ballin Outta Control." This time the beat lurches and chugs under R's nasal tanged flow, cool faux symphonic keyboard snippets slipping in amidst some swirling laser fog. (Excerpt from IGN Soundtrack Review)

Schizo-melodic-hard-funk-rock-swing-metal...or just interesting. The Gods' Entertainment is real hard rock record. And it's hard, progressive rock "circus" metal! It was a fun project with good people and certainly a challenge with the dual bass craziness!

This was Ryan's first (released) record both as a performer and an engineer. This record was perhaps one of the biggest challenges of all time. It wasn't your average first record with guitar, bass, drums. Instead it was a 7 piece band with a lot of vocals! A great challenge and an awesome place to get things started.
