5.Early career
The Ocean Blue (their name influenced by the famous poem 'In 1492, Columbus Sailed The Ocean Blue'), first met in junior high and cut a series of demos while in high school, with friend Scott Stouffer sitting in on drums.The compilation also included very early work from friends and mentors of The Ocean Blue, noted local artists and alternative rock legends, The Innocence Mission.Mittan' would continue into through 1994.Stein had a keen ear for pop, and was responsible for signing rock and roll legends The Ramones, Talking Heads, and Blondie as well as introducing Americans to The Smiths via his label.One of the venues that hosted The Ocean Blue's formative years was Lancaster's 'The Chameleon Club'.Public Affection, would also play some of their first shows.Their busy calendar included an appearance on one of the first episodes of 'Club MTV with Downtown Julie Brown'.All of this promotion helped the band sell over 150,000 units of the record.After a lengthy tour and time in the studio, in 1991 they released Cerulean.It had two hits in the modern rock platform.Cerulean managed to sell 175,000 copies just as the grunge explosion of late 1991 hit and changed the music business."Sublime" received top 40 airplay, with a video filmed amongst the steaming, geothermal geysers of Iceland.The album sold over 100,000 copies.There was no second single that had the charting stature of "Sublime", but the Peace and Light EP released in 1994 helped wrap up the Sire contract for the group.Before the close of 1993, the band contributed songs to the Eric Stoltz film Naked in New York.Westwood One Radio Networks also recorded the group's June 20th, 1994 concert in Ventura, California for a promotional CD.To this day, it is the band's only official live album.After getting a spot on ABC for new bands and playing the usual late night shows such as Conan O'Brien, it seemed as if the band had made it.Steve Lau had begun to make his intentions clear, he was becoming more interested in the music business and wanted to move from Hershey to New York City.Further issues arose within the band, when Lau publicly came out that he was gay.Concurrently, the band had also been looking for a reason to include friend and touring guitarist Ronne in more of the band's songwriting.It seemed a good match as Steve wanted to leave the group and Oed wanted to join.The Ocean Blue released to the public.Steve Lau exited the band in late 1994, and Oed Ronne, was brought in full time.Lau was spotted by many fans at the groups' October 2000 New York City Mercury Lounge concert, and in the spirit of good cheer, David Schelzel and the Ocean Blue directed accolades to Steve from the stage.Subsequent career
By 1996, gone was the light and airy synthesized sounds of the band, and in was more guitar driven music thanks in part to Oed Ronne.Mercury Records picked up the band and released See the Ocean Blue that fall.See the Ocean Blue was released to lukewarm results despite Ronne's renewed input.Despite a nationwide tour, it was a victim of the global record company mergers and purges of that engulfed late 1996 and early 1997.Davy Jones Locker through their website.It was a breezy album reflecting nearly every style of their careers, and for the first time it featured lead vocals by David, Oed Ronne, and even drummer Rob Minnig.Because of its indie status, it received little airplay.March Records marketed both the album and the EPs, but the band's dedicated fan base had seemingly moved on.The Orange Peels' Allen Clapp also contributes music and production to the EP.In 2004, the group toured select dates around the nation, even adding The Owls' saxophonist Brian Tighes as an homage to Steve Lau's sound.This song was available only as a digital download via the band's website for the 2005 holiday season.In late 2005, the Ocean Blue's entire five studio album catalogue and the Waterworks EP became available for purchase on iTunes, as well as the band's first four videos.Trivia
The album See the Ocean Blue opens with the spoken words "This Is Ed Ronne" on the first track, the instrumental 'Jouissance'.Apparently, Oed's father happened to narrate educational films in the 1960s and 1970s, and this opening dialogue was sampled from one of those very films; this is therefore a tribute to the elder Ronne, as well as a humorously blunt way of introducing the Oed Ronne era of The Ocean Blue.The Ocean Blue narrowly escaped death when they changed their flight (Pan Am Flight 103) from London to New York that was the target of a terrorist attack and exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland on December 21, 1988.Crash, discography and resource.This page was last modified 17:36, 25 December 2007.All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.See Copyrights for details.Why is the ocean blue?The colors we see depend upon the reflection of the visible wavelengths of light to our eyes.Water molecules scatter blue wavelengths by absorbing the light waves, and then rapidly reemitting the light waves in different directions.This may be because there is an abundance
of plant life or sediment from rivers that flow into the ocean.The blue light is absorbed more and the yellow pigments from plants
mix with the blue light waves to produce the color green.Sometimes parts of the oceans will look milky brown after a storm passes.The ocean may also reflect the blue sky.However this is prominent
only at relatively low angles and when the water is smooth.You
explores many aspects of visible light, beginning with an introduction to electromagnetic
radiation and continuing through to the perception of color and the characteristics
of lenses.Under Education students
