Free track giveaway in exchange for feedback! 

Echolocation is now offering everyone who gets the CD or digital download of Beauty in an Empty Glass from CD Baby the chance to give us feedback and get a free download at the same time! If you leave your e-mail address for us while checking out at CD Baby, we'll contact you on the following Monday with a link to our questionnaire, which asks for feedback regarding our album, blog, and our music in general. Persons who complete the questionnaire are provided with a link to a free download of one of our previously unreleased tracks, "limelight."

The questionnaire DOES NOT collect any personal or demographic info about you, the listener. It's just a way for our fans to give us feedback and help us understand how to spread the word about our music! If you order the album but do not wish to complete the survey, just ignore the mail. We only ask once, so you won't be hassled with follow-ups or repeated requests!

Love and Peace,
Massa and Tetsuroh
