[MaxFrost]

I bought impulse prime, and i'm so gonna get this...

will perorder as soon as I get cash

[Geoffrey Taucer]

ooh, Art of Zen sounds really nice.

[big giant circles]

I've heard a few of these since the WIP stage, and I gotta say Andy, I think this CD is going to be an excellent showcase of your talent. Here's to hoping it'll land in the "right" hands

I could say something great about each track I've heard, but I'll just simply say that it's all excellent stuff!

especially Nitronic... lol

BGC has participation bias.

Oh, yeah, thanks for reminding me!

Andy, will there be instrumental tracks of these two songs available for purchase anywhere? That would really be preferred. Thanks.

[Epic1044]

A variety of styles compared to the VG remixes of yours I know. Pre-ordered.

[The Joker]

Ordered. Expect a pm for them d/l-able tracks (on the 10th right?), dood!

[Crazyonr1]

Preordered, even though this album is fuming with judge bias

[Hemophiliac]

Preordered, even though this album is fuming with judge bias

oh please, it's fuming with awesome only

[zircon]

Thanks for the comments guys and I'm glad y'all are looking forward to it

If you hang out at any electronic music forums, know any DJs, or simply have a friend or two that likes EDM, give 'em a link. The promo would be much appreciated.

I just listened to all the samples and I have to say that each track sounds incredible. I also finally got around to buying Impulse Prime, which is pretty sick. Now I'm anxiously awaiting May 10. Won't it come faster?

[WesPip]

I'd preorder were I not so poor right now.

[Epic1044]

I thought some more about these tracks. They're extremely pro-quality, not like the throwaway electronica you hear in club mixes. There's some real musicianship over the awesome beats. Can't wait for the CD.

[Moguta]

Even though I'm already in line for the "real" thing with my CD preorder, I'm curious about the technical aspects of the downloads.

Would you be encoding with FLAC 1.1.4 for full CD-quality, and LAME 3.97's -V 2 --vbr-new setting for MP3? Just curious if you know or heed the recommendations of those audio compression enthusiasts over at the Hydrogen Audio boards. ^^

And I'll definitely tell one of my co-workers (who happens to be a sound guy as a second job!) about this album. Can't say for sure if he'd go for it, but the guy likes some pretty obscure stuff.

[zircon]

Well, previously I've just uploaded the raw WAVs. I was going to offer 320kbps CBR MP3s as an alternate option. My bandwidth is such that I can do the WAV thing no prob, and no one has experienced difficulties with it yet.

[Moguta]

Pimped out with bandwidth, eh? Must be nice.

320Kbps could possibly be a waste of space for many (and it's not a Good Idea™ for them to re-encode), but I suppose it's really not a huge deal. Either way, you get sweet mass-defying beats exuding from those bits.

Awesomeskatez. And now I wait... patiently, yes yes... o.o

[DragonFireKai]

Ordered. I'm Waiting...

[zircon]

Thanks for the enthusiasm guys. I am about 50% towards my preorder goal which is really cool

[SwordBreaker]

Hmm...I just noticed that Impluse Prime is available in amazon.com...interesting...

[Deathtank]

Hey Zircon, which company releases your albums?, cuz I live in Argentina and Ill have to import them.

I can't order via internet cuz I have no international credit card. :'(

PD: and again, where are the fucking smilies?!?!?

[wormguy]

I liked Impulse Prime, so I'm definitely getting this. The previews have me sold.

[zircon]

Don't buy it from there. The people selling it through Amazon are not "authorized" distributors, they basically just list product that they don't have, mark it up, and buy inventory when they get an order. If you buy from them you will never receive anything because IP is currently sold out.

Unfortunately CDBaby is my only physical, mail-order distributor. I will have some retail distribution too but it's US-only.

Your best bet is to try for a digital copy.. iTunes, Rhapsody, Napster, one of those companies. If you can get Paypal you'll be able to buy a physical copy that way too.

[zircon]

Hate to double post, but I just got the phys CDs - they sound fine and look great, so it looks like preorders should ship on Tuesday or so.
