Testube http://virb.com/testube Virb 2.0 (@testube) en The Sounds of a Dying Laptop http://virb.com/testube/posts/text/6598928 I've been hard at work in the studio lately, attempting to put the final touches on some songs for the new Testube album titled Off Purpose. Jonathan Chalker (from the band LowHero.DLL) will be lending some of his uber-cool vocals to one of the tracks. Most of the others will be instrumental. I've actually been working on some of these tunes since 2007. I'm anxious to see them released, not only to experience the sense of closure that only a published full length CD can bring, but also so that I can get these working tracks off of my ailing laptop.

Kicking off the disc is an exclusive remix of the track "Bacterium" that I created a couple of months ago. This one caught me in a bit of a nostalgic mood, so the mix has some heavy old school EBM influences. Also included on the disc are remixes by Adapter, Synthetik Form, Ehron Von Allen, and others. Check it out!

It's only temporary, and I expect to be slicing my way through the unsuspecting sounds of other musicians again once the new album is complete. I'm pushing for a late winter release.

It turned out great, and I can't wait to receive additional copies of the disc and release it to the public. (As much fun as digital releases can be, it still seems so much more satisfying when I get to hold a physical representation of my efforts in my hands!)

Set for official release on September 5th, 2009, We are limiting this compilation disc to only 100 duplicated copies with full color art and a shrink-wrapped jewelcase. It will be sold for only $3.99 plus shipping.

The tracks span 10+ years from 1998-2009, so getting them to sonically compliment each other has been a challenge! I am expecting it to be released sometime next month on Glim Records. Attached is a preview of the cover art.
