GravitySuitCollector Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 so when do i get to buy this http://zirconstudios.bandcamp.com/album/identity-sequence Digital on Bandcamp for now for 9$ (or more). Probably a remnant of the advanced digital copy for backers. It includes the liner notes/CD booklet. Physical, I'm guessing: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1363989456/zircon-identity-sequence-a-cyberpunk-inspired-jour/posts/362600 Colossus and Identity Sequence seem to be sticking out to me right now, but that will probably change as I listen more to the others. Edit: ninja'd by the artist. :b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexstyle Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 My favorite tracks so far are Neurobazaar, Identity Sequence, The Expanse, and The End. It's a really, really stellar album though. Every song has its purpose in the storyline, and I love the entire product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollgagh Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 oh hell yeah, you finally made Without Regret into a full song that was almost my favorite thing from Antigravity, and it was just a sketch of an idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 Thank you for the kind words, guys! Really glad people are enjoying it and listening all the way through. Don't forget about the LISTENING PARTY tomorrow at 12/12/12 with Overcoat, myself, Jill, Chris, Jeff and Jessie... the whole gang! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmadonRK Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Okay, so, Savant's new album just came out, and I have yet to listen to it... but I feel pretty confident calling Identity Sequence the best musical release of the year. Antigravity has always been one of my favorite albums, but Identity Sequence doesn't just blow Antigrav out of the water, it really demonstrates you taking your music to a completely new level. I absolutely love the track Identity Sequence itself, and everything from Colossus to The End has me floored. The new master of System just gives it so much new life. It was a track of yours that underwhelmed me a bit when you first released it as an EP, but now I can't get enough of it. The new version of Just Hold On is... perfect. It's just perfect. Just Hold On was already my favorite track of yours, and now it's just... It's perfect. Anything more I tried to say would just involve more ellipses. No Regret is everything I never knew I always wanted from Antigravity. Seriously, Without Regret was excellent as it was, and not only did you make it unbelievably more addictive, I'm now completely in love with Chris Gordon's voice. The End is just glorious. It's big, it's elegant, it's energetic, it's beautiful, it's just plain awesome. Eventually I'll find the words to properly describe the experience of listening to Identity Sequence, but until then, the album is even more than I expected, and more than I could have hoped for. Utterly phenomenal music, not as always, but even above and beyond your usual exemplary work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 Wow... thank you very much for that kind review. I'm really glad I was able to communicate my musical ideas to you By the way, the album is OFFICIALLY out today! http://zirconstudios.bandcamp.com/album/identity-sequence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonicThHedgog Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Not a huge fan of alot of psy trance songs (because they start to sound like watered down 90s dance music which I am a fan of), but I did like the song Identity sequence, kinda seems like avicii, and rob swire and a but of tiesto. I think I will give this track a electro house or a dubstep remix after my finals (well im making a remix album so I might as well give it a try). And I did like Neurobazaar sounded like juno reactor and noisia a little bit. but my favorite so far is the intro to fabrications, sounds like starfox assult and final fantasy but in a more half time feel. but when the second drop comes in, not a big fan of that part, but it sounds good.

Zen Frazier Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Many times, artists take an extended hiatus, or, for whatever reason, there is a large gap in time between album releases. With a 5 year break, there can be a lot of expectation going into the latest effort. Did the artist change, grow, evolve? Is it more of the same, or is it a new direction? And so on. Let me just say that this album completely shatters any preconceived expectations and was completely worth the wait. It simultaneously sounds like the logical extension of Antigravity, and yet something entirely new on its own. It's been five years since the last full-length? Start this album up and you'll soon forget. But wait, five years? It quickly becomes clear: Identity Sequence is a major step forward in composition, production, and just overall quality. It is amazing electronic music. It is a welcome addition to the zircon library, which will be in heavy rotation for a long time to come. After just a few days of listening at home, in the car, and with earphones, this is already a strong contender for my "Best Electronic Album of 2012" (and I listen to a lot of electronic music.) And it really can't be said enough how truly amazing the liner art is. A great complement to the album and the theme. It's so much fun when the final product of a music album - the music, the presentation, everything - is a cohesive whole, especially in the digital age when singles are more the norm and the concept of "album" increasingly takes a back seat to the idea of "get your music out fast and yesterday." Thank you Andrew for keeping this music lover's idea of what a new album release "should be" as a continuing reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ectogemia Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Yeah, just bought it, and I'm half way through. Excellent, excellent work, man. This is just such a professional-sounding album through and through. You've really given me something to aspire to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 Wow, again thank you for the very kind words. It means a lot to me! BTW if you missed the listening party, here you go: http://kngi.org/p=4250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k-wix Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I didn't quite have enough for a physical copy - I just went with the digital route, and I got the link right through kickstarter, downloaded the album, extracted the mp3s into my library without really looking at the art. I plugged in the music and just dove right in. Really happy I did it this way. I'm shocked at how close the visual imagery my mind drew up matched the concept art and wallpaper designs. It's a really cool feeling, like I just had a conversation with Andy and he told me about this awesome world he dreamed up. Would make a killer video game world, i'd think! For me, the album represents something to strive for. I'll be pouring over these tracks for quite awhile, trying to figure out all the little details. It's an impressive album - excellent work and kudos to everyone involved. And in my opinion, the best track on the album is Identity Sequence, bar none.

Frederic Petitpas Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Dude you're crazy. Excellent album, bought it on bandcamp and will pass the word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperiorX Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I bought this the other day and thoroughly enjoy it, well worth the money! I have to say this is probably one of the most enjoyable electronica albums I've listened too. You've always been great, but this album is really a step up in both arrangement and production, great job man! I like the increased focus on vocal tracks too. Jillian is great, as always, and Chris did a good job too. I haven't looked through the album notes yet, but I want to take a deeper look at them and the lyrics to better understand the story concept you were going for. I really dig it though, great job to all involved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelCityOutlaw Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Love this album, both the music and the cover art. That cover art is sweet as hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
