Beatdrop Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Ladies and Gentlemen, The wait is over. The Revolution Has Begun. 01 The Collapse 02 Revolution 03 Burn Out 04 Flash 05 Get Down 06 Minutes to Seconds 07 Heatseeker 08 Blood Inside 09 Air 10 This Isn't Happening 11 The Return of Supernovatomic 12 Revolt 13 Praxis (featuring Ransom Rath) 14 Though Everything May Fade Away 15 Seek High + Low I present to you all my fifth full length studio album, Revolution. It's been a work in the making for roughly a year and nine months now, so I can safely promise that it is the utmost pinnacle of my ability at this point. Everything that was set into motion with In The Dark has been refined and expanded upon here. As promised, this entire album is available for all to download absolutely free. Every track was meticulously mastered and rendered as MP3 @ 320kbps to ensure the highest quality audio fidelity. Album artwork and liner notes is provided in the form of a digital booklet in PDF document format designed entirely by Lexx (http://www.sugar-stars.com), the same person who did the cover artwork for In The Dark. Full lyrics are included for every song. The booklet featured in the above ZIP file is specifically engineered for viewing on a computer, while a seperate version of the booklet, sized perfectly for printing--should anyone desire to print a copy of it and assemble a physical version of the album--is available HERE. Also included in the ZIP file is the above image of the album cover for use on MP3 players and the like. EDIT: Just noticed that, at present, there are a few typos in the booklet that were overlooked by mistake (including a missing portion of the lyrics to "The Collapse"). A corrected version of the PDF booklet will be concocted and made available seperately from the .zip file for those that already downloaded the album, and the one currently in the .zip file will be replaced with the corrected version. Sorry! EDIT 2: The updated digital booklets are now available. The print version can be snagged at the above link, and the computer version is available here: http://beatdrop.paletteswap.com/Revolution/revolution.pdf As always, I encourage you to donate whatever you think the album is worth. Donations can be made to me via PayPal. Just send your donation to beatdrop@gmail.com. I also strongly encourage feedback and reviews of the album. All donations and feedback/reviews are immensely appreciated. And this is by no means the end. As I said, the Revolution has only just begun... UPDATE: The free-ness of this album has run its course. If you somehow missed out on it during the extended period of time when it was free, I apologize for your late arrival to the party. However, you can now obtain the album (with a couple extra tracks) from FiXTStore.com for a very reasonable price. Just head over there and look me up in the artists list.

Barnsalot Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Wow! Congratulations on completing your fifth album, Beatdrop! Downloading now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liontamer Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Sweeeeeeet! Really impressive album art by Lexxy too. I thought the vocals for "Minutes to Seconds" sounded off, but otherwise I'm loving every track. Personal favorites: "Burn Out", "Flash", "Geat Down", "Heatseeker", "Blood Inside" (loved the belltone style lead, and the piano later on was an awesome touch)! Definitely some strong shit here. I just updated the VGMdb entry for it: http://vgmdb.net/album/10507 I also Twittered about it, before I read the liner notes, then Twittered about THAT!

The Joker Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 So... I've been waiting for this ever since December 1. It was worth it, & then some. I'm totally digging the album. Good work, son! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Wolf Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I'll download this tonight when I'm on a nice fat juicy internet connection. That artwork is awesome though. It'd take me days if not weeks to cook up something that hot in Photoshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgx Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Gonna download it soon. yay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackPanther Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I don't know why you didn't charge for this. This is some hot stuff to hot to handle with bare hands or ears for that matter. Haven't decided which one is my favorite but I think they're all too dope to even decide. But yeah man great work, I will definitely donate when I get a chance.

Halt Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Man, this is some tight music. Great work. Looking forward to hear more music from you in the future. Another great album to add to my never ending music collection. Again, Great work. I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinalTrigger85 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 You're work has been some of my favorite pieces as soon as I discovered this website. I loved all your sonic remixes. I haven't heard it yet, but judging from the responses, it's a masterpiece. I too will donate as soon as I get the chance. Keep up the great work, Beatdrop.

Dyne Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I just downloaded this, and I'm giving it a listen. Methinks I've got some damn good music for my iPod! Excellent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexxy Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I'll download this tonight when I'm on a nice fat juicy internet connection. That artwork is awesome though. It'd take me days if not weeks to cook up something that hot in Photoshop. Thanks! I think the whole thing took around 10 hours, partially in Illustrator but primarily in Photoshop. Lots and lots of time spent distressing things <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Joker Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 This project needs more attention, as does Lexxy for the awesome cover art. It is indeed an awesome release all around. I'm still trying to decide what to paypal you, the sum keeps raising itself in my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adun The Untouchable Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Sweet! The music you make is always interesting, Beatdrop. I'll give this a listen and edit this post later. edit: This album is overflowing with awesomeness. Some parts completely consume the atmosphere (a good thing). I love how gritty and it can get! My favorite track right now is "Revolution." Not to speak for anyone, but If you're interested in spreading this around, I'd recommend talking to Global-Trance. I recall him getting bLiNd/Leifo's song on Corsten's radio show. It's not the same genre but GT seems to have connections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhiJayy Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Awesome, awesome, awesome tracks dude! I do agree with The Joker here...I'm listening to these tracks and I'm thinking, "this album should be in a retail store nearby somewhere." The album art is like the icing on a cake...awesome design.

Hy Bound Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 This is some seriously incredible stuff. I must say, you've really mastered the lyrical, gritty, synthetic sound that many people strive for. The production tricks are also quite good. Hell, everything is super pro-quality; great work. I'll see what I can send your way for this great music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
