• demo Windows Fermion by Kewlers [web]
• The stream didn't do justice to this one. It ran super-super smooth on my pc. Some very pleasing visuals and the music is very well arranged/mixed even if not standing out as something special in my book.
  
  I think the demo lacks direction, but hey.. it's a fast prod.. and for a fast prod it rocks hard! Definitely a keeper.

• 4k Windows Terraformers by Digimind & Silent
• What Trauma Zero said, but frankly I was expecting this device to start expanding and covering the ground, and have cities made out of cardboard form up. That would be soo soooo awesome.. like a hobo's dream come true!! (and oh my that was so vile on my part). Still, I enjoyed this very much!

• Ahh.. there we go again... ok...
  
  Let me start by saying that I've got nothing to prove to anyone. I could sit with Leviathan and write another 8 minute guitar epic (which even if untraditional for demos, is quite traditional for ASD). But every now and then I feel like venturing and experimenting in uncharted territories, like the butterfly effect tune, the midnight run one, the chameleon tune or like this one. I've never written EBM before in my life, and I'm not either very into EBM. However I was listening to Covenant (namely Call the ships to port) and really dug it, so I thought.. what the hell.. let's try EBM. Is the end result good? I have no idea really. I'm no EBM expert, so I'll let the EBM experts judge that. Is my voice good? Of course it's not.. I'm no singer and I really laughed my ass off when I put what I sung through melodyne and realized how off I was getting at times. But I liked the grit that got out on the low frequencies and the dark disturbing sound, and so did Navis and amoivikos.
  
  In the end I had tons of fun making this, especially while seeing it with the visuals and how Navis was moving things around and syncing them. I believe that the track gives a very special flow and movement to the demo.
  
  As such, I'm sorry to disappoint some of you but we'll keep having lyrics and vocals or guitars or the sound of stones rubbed together for that matter if we feel like doing so, and we are most certainly not changing musicians.
  
  rasmus: spot on! Covenant style is what I went for =)
  
  Calexico: The Kraftwerk vibes are due to heavy use of melodyne, especially when I got rid of the pitch drift and modulation. It wasn't what I aimed for, but I too found the end result Kraftwerk-ish, and I liked it. As for Yello.. I hadn't thought that.. but.. sure! I love Yello!
  
  Maali: spot on as well! Especially when I put the "I am spinning" part on loop I thought.. "Holy Underworld.. I'm keeping this!".

• .reEto, they *are* melodyned.. that's why they're devoid of pitch drift and modulation.. I do sound robotic on low frequencies.. but not THAT robotic =P

• Obviously Insectecutor if you look it at the perspective of just a single date you don't get much choice on the recipient of the kiss. I've left an amount of vagueness to the lyrics to let the listener adapt it to their own thoughts and experiences. Consider for instance on a number of first dates with a number of people and on which one of those you decide to make a move on the first date, or that you have set up a date with two people you like, you go out with the first and at that moment you are faced with the choice of whether to go ahead and make a move with that person and forfeit on the second one, or take your chances with the second one. As for the gravity that such a decision carries, it greatly has to do with comparison and aftermath. For someone this decision might be small compared to let's say, getting a mortgage or moving to another country, and the result of the decision is what defines its gravity and importance. You kiss the person and you end up having sex with them that night, but you don't see each other again. Or you kiss that person and down the road you end up married and have kids. In the grander scheme of things the decision was small at the time it was taken, and while in the long run it's importance could be enormous or insignificant, it has somehow affected the rest of your life. You make a decision and that decision puts you on a specific path, forfeiting on the other, and that's exactly what this song is all about.
  
  I spent a great deal of time on the lyrics, and even though they might seem simple or shallow or plainly absurd, there's a lot of thought and room for interpretation behind them.
  
  lug00ber, Katya has a very (and I mean VERY) pronounced S in English, which is funny as it's totally absent in Greek. There is a lot of de-essing in what you hear, but any more and the high frequencies started to sound chewed.
