New Album Update #2 - July 1, 2010
New Album News
----------------------
Things should be on target for the new album to be released in mid to late September. I haven't settled on a final title for the project, but the tentative track listing is as follows:
1. Any Other Day
2. The Speed Of Light
3. Dodge The Bullet
4. No Regret
5. Your Side Of The World
6. A Different Kind Of Love
7. Stay
8. You're Not The One
9. Can't Let You Go
10. Talking On The Telstar
11. She's Come Undone
12. Disconnected (2010 Remake)
13. Let's Run Away (2010 Remake)
The last two tracks were originally on last year's release "Synthetic Heart" but have been completely re-recorded and will be included as CD-only bonus tracks.
To mark the release, I plan to do the following:
In addition to both the low-fi and hi-fi streams the hi-fi streams of the first 11 tracks will be available as medium-quality mp3 (128k) FREE downloads forever and always on this site. I want to get these tracks into as many peoples' hands as possible so the word can spread!
At the next level, high quality (200k VBR mp3s) will be available for purchase at 99 cents per track at the usual retail online sites like iTunes, Amazon, Rhapsody, and eMusic, as well as at CDBaby. The entire album (without the bonus tracks) will be available for download for $9.99.
At the highest level of sound quality, the physical CD complete with liner notes and lyrics will be available for purchase through CD Baby. The CD will be mastered by Simon Heyworth of Super Audio Mastering who has mastered many famous synthpop bands including Human League, Simple Minds and Heaven 17.
As a special CD promotional deal, the first 50 purchasers of the CD through CD Baby will get a free X-Sonic logo t-shirt in your choice of size. The first 5 customers will also get a FREE brand-new iPod shuffle as well as the t-shirt!
