Great artwork, Im eagerly waiting for this one,the first album was really strong.

Artwork looks great. Only thing I don't like is the overused freeware font...it's a cool one but as I said, overused.

yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*does a ridiculous little snoopy dance*

might hunt this one down. he made some yay bleep on the compos i have featuring him

woot! can't wait to get my grubby little paws on this. . .

fuckin' finally, I actually prefer Destroid over ALL of Mysers side-projects.

Do you know how much it hurts when you're side-lining at work and Myspace is firewalled... do you know ???

@DJTeKslave: aren't there ways to get around it? Such as...

I want to hear feedback on the Destroid show! Anybody go? (Myer, put your hand down.)

@soillodge: I'll get a video together for you soon :)

I'll take the entire album right now as a CD please. please!

I saw Destroid at WGT last year. Very diverse, but generally good show

(and I'll of course be seeing the show at Das Boot in Copenhagen next week :D)

Another new track up at http://www.myspace.com/destroidmusic

Yeah! Another tune racking my brain. I cannot wait to get my hands on this CD.

`michael

Should be seeing them in Sheffield; money permitting. hopefully will pick up a cd while I'm there.

Hum these tracks are good

this is some nice stuff for sure :)

Some of the new stuff I heard at the show last Saturday was really good, I especially liked Revolution, cool up-beat old shcool sound!

it was a blast in copenhagen. thanks for showing up early. its always a pain in the ass to go on first at a festival. but we sure had a fucking great time!!!1

@dmyer
Glad to hear that! I wish Destroid could have played much more songs, it's really a great project.
I recorded a couple of videos here:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=C_hrtOiBmuk&feature=PlayList&p=45345F715D297419&index=3


After the problems with the electricity and sound (apparently it was caused by too much beer in the wrong places), the place really exploded for the last encore, when all the bands got up on stage during Devil's Work :)

But who the hell poured coffee into Brian's toaster? Not that -I- mind it, but the band room was hell cleaning up >_>

i guess we all fucked around with the toaster at one point of the night. i know, that we left a mess, but we were all so hyped up after that encore and the great party... I am sorry. but it was just too much fun!!!

AT least you had a greenroom. not like Jersey :P

Anyhow, not to hijack the thread-but the Planetmyer Lowtech site has been updated. Lots of up to date info now about all projects and activities. http://planetmyer.de/HTML/lowtech.htm

Yes I know I am missing H.M.B. I have been meaning to ask Daniel if this is an "active", or "stasis", project so I know where to put it. I would love to hear another H.M.B. release and I thought he had said there was material in the works..

`michael

Yeah but what about new HAUJOBB for god's sake...

just be patient...

hi daniel,

i sent you e-mail concerning Haujobb concert in Minsk (24.11.07)
please, answer me :) i worry!

please send again to d.myer@gmx.de thank you

ok!

hurrah. bought my ticket. it's about time I actually saw some industrial bands live.

moz=fail

well, dont expect too much industrial. where are you going anyway?

Sheffield corporation Sunday 21st. :) Looking forward to it!
Will I be able to pick up a copy of this album there?

I just picked up this album. It's a great listen. I think my favorite track is "Revolution". I also enjoy the synth riff on "Mourn". Very enjoyable.

Too bad I missed the Haujobb show in ATL last month though. :|

Daniel Myer reports:

new Destroid song with lyrics by Karloz.M (MANUFACTURA)

has been uploaded today.....kinda seems fitting...ahahaha


Friend or Foe (the betrayal)

By Destroid – lyrics by Karloz.M



Listen to the song here:

http://www.myspace.com/destroidmusic

just thought, it would fit the whole cc and whatnot bullshit that goes on in this forum...

Can't wait for this one... if the sounds I've heard on the various linked sites are any indication this should be an amazing album!!

I was listening to "friend or foe" on a loop last night.

I cannot wait to get this album...

i am about to post new tracks on the myspace page. feel free to leave some comments!

"Mourn" - one of the best songs of the year.

great work Myer!

also, i'm digging the "rock" sound you chose to use on some of the tracks....we need more of this.....it's fresh.

"rock" ??
you mean the guitars? I tried to use it more in a editors or she wants revenge kind of style. glad you like it!

yes, guitars and drums....it has a "live" sound to it.....if you decide to tour as Destroid, please try to bring a live drummer!

*tour in the US

Woot - I'll be catching the show at Slimes on Saturday, especially to see Destroid. Looking forward to it.

the problem with the current tour is, that we have only 30 minutes of showtime. its hard, to present a good show and entertain everybody in 30 minutes.

o_O 30 mins? That's a bit strange... Most bands I've seen at Slimelight seem to play a full set, 50 mins or so.

we are supporting painbastard and sitd

Yeah, I was really disappointed that your show was so short. It was a lot more entertaining at WGT, but on the other hand I really liked some of the new songs.

wgt was outstanding. i couldnt believe it myself.

we are supporting painbastard and sitd

Good think you said that otherwise I would've assumed Destroid was headlining... So I'll get there expecting Destroid first onstage.

think=thing
:)

wgt was outstanding. i couldnt believe it myself
The crowd could have been bigger. That surprised me.

I saw them live at Byte in NYC. I did not expext them to blow me away like they did. Outstanding performance, very powerful and complex music. That reminds me I gotta pick up the new album.

also, i think myer's vocals on this record are on point....they sound really good on "let me leave", "open my eyes", and "mourn"...which happen to be my fav tracks.

the funny thing is, that i really tried to get that chorus in "open my eyes" right. but i just couldnt get that high pitched note right. thats why there is this vocoder there now. maybe I should try and use more autotune. it seems common in the industry nowadays... hehe

NOOOOOOOO!!

No autotune Daniel, please. Anyhow I like the vocoder, it stands as very mechanical against a more live oriented musical soundtrack. The juxtaposition is brilliant.

`michael

daniel has yet to release something i don't like.

i especially enjoyed the live destroid tracks at the last haujobb show i attended.

just wait for my first polka release...:)

You could title the album Pol(k)arity...

lolz!

What happened to the hip hop project??

`michael

Or the album of lovesongs to Joakim from Covenant.

We are waiting!

that was a secret. thank you, man...

"Or the album of lovesongs to Joakim from Covenant."

It could be like another HMB album, titled Great Industrial Love Affairs, Part II.

HMB really stands for Hot Male Bonding, you know.

is there a date for US release? According to destoid website, it will be released on Oct 26. But it's not listed on Metropolis mail order ... is US release later, or is it available somewhere else?

Great music. Utterly ruined by the vocals.

bobcat3981, there may not be a "US" release, Future Prophecies didn't have one. Plenty of places in North America will have it in stock for order.

to impure: well i guess you downloaded that record, so fuck you!

to impure: well i guess you downloaded that record, so fuck you!
To Danny: I was talking about Destroid in general you bearded chubby little man. Stop being so paranoid. Are you afraid that's one less Pizza you can buy? I don't download music, i'm totally against it. Don't be such a paranoid freak danny boy just because I have an opinion.
Fuck you too! You're boring. You DO ruin your tracks with vocals imo.

well, i love my vocals. I dont eat pizza. i am not paranoid, i am pissed off. and i am not little, nor chubby. i am fat and sexy...

fat and sexy? you gotta write a song about that :) that's so industrial (^_^)

lol@danny, the Black Francis of electronic music. Don't be pissed off because i think that your vocals suck. I bought your last album, but won't be buying (or downloading) your latest output as I think the vox ruin the ok'ish music. It's only my opinion. We're all entitled to them.

of course. i hate almost everything. so you can hate my vocals, thats cool. but i am allowed to be pissed of, right?

I think Daniel should do an A cappella or spoken word album. I think his voice is great. Impure is just upset that he burnt out his record player preparing for a DJ/Scratchmaster contest :P

`michael

I think Daniel could do universally like-able vocals if he intended to :) What I mean is, I'm sure the vocals sound exactly as he wanted them.

Personally, I'm a fan of the vocals on Haujobb releases. My two cents... I'm yet to hear the vocals in question.

Rule#1, don't be a prick. Even when you don't like something.

I enjoy Destroid's music. If it isn't for you, don't listen to it.

Simple, no?

@ impure

destroid's music went from "great" to "ok'ish" for you within an hour?

Well spotted Eagle Eyes :-)
I was 'pissed off' at dan the man for implying I d\l'ed his new album. I think for a bandwagon jumper like Danny, the music could be classed as 'great' in the context of his effete abilities. On reflection, compared to other music of a similar style, it is simply ok.

well, I still think its amazing. i listen to my own record almost every day, that doesnt happen alot. the last record I listened to every day was the streets first album and after that the used first record. i am very picky with music and it probably doesnt mean shit. but whatever.... I am drunk, i just played a fucking amazing gig with destroid here in london and people loved it. and i was so much into myself that i almost shit myself. i am a fat, sexy fuck!! hahahaha. sidenote, i just had an incredible chicken kebab with the best hot sauce ever!!! hahaha
life is great!

Destroid is cool because it is a project that most of the songs they make are often catchier and more awesome than the bands they emulate. You know? Taking in influences and then pushing envelopes further.

In the UK, they will lap it up, because decent gigs of any sort are few and far between. I don't doubt for a minute you're enjoying a chicken kebab, old habits die hard etc...good for you! I'm pleased life is good for you! You little sausage! xxx

Troll much?

Doesn't this forum have rules against deliberate personal attacks?

@vorb - chill out! Danny is a big boy and can take a bit of criticism & banter as well as give it back. Dont be such a cow ;-)

It is difficult to take you seriously.

@Vorb-yes it does, not long now till Side-Line gets swept up.

I do want to settle some of this though. How is Daniel Myer a "bandwagon jumper"? Also I see that DESTROID is being toted everyplace as Daniels new mastermind project but anyone that knows Daniels work would actually realize that he doesn't do all the music. It isn't the same chord structures he usually follows, it's not even the same rhythm structures all the time. there are 3 people in DESTROID, all seemingly bringing in their expertise. Also take note that Daniel wanted to be obscure for "Future Prophecies". He didn't want the band to be launched just under his name and background. Is this the usual action of a "bandwagon jumper". Impure, I think your incredibly full of shit and I am going to enjoy burning down your playhouse..

`michael

Your difficulties are no concern of mine.

@soil - micheal, I am going to enjoy your attempts. You're certainly coming across as too wet to even burn a cd at this point, nevermind a playhouse.

@impure-good deal ;) Welcome to Side-Line n00b!

`michael

deal ;)

not with me though. i am curious who the man is behind that impure alias.

Posted to further the JG theory of greater internet fuckwad theory.

*Posted to further the JG greater internet fuckwad theory.

Indeed.

`michael

Looks like we've got a new troll here. Or is it Sindaddy who has returned?
Sheesh.

While I think it's valid to comment on Destroid's vocals, Impure is obviously just out to get Daniel. That's just ridicolously low.
Destroid is a great project, and I listen to it more than Haujobb. The soft pop'ish vocals are hard for me to get accustomed to as well, and I've heard other people comment on it after the show here in Copenhagen. But I know Myer knows what he's doing, and I don't think the songs should be otherwise, it's a great album.

On a more positive note, I loved Destroid's performance last night at Sheffield. Blinding set :) Definitely picking up Loudspeaker when payday comes round.

Great show in London. Bought Loudspeaker from the merch table and it's been on constant play ever since - beautiful album. Mourn reminds me of Swedish band "Backlash"'s first album Impetus, which was quite inspiring to me.
English kebabs are the best in the world - but they need to learn to put hummous on them. German ones are impressive but waaay too big/open to eat gracefully.

/me takes a whizz on this thread.

Not for any reason, just because my bladder was full and I happened to be on this page.

German döner kebabs are the bomb! And cheap, too!

Next time you go to WGT, take the tram two or three stops in direction of the city (the stop before the supermarket) from Agra Halle, and check out the small kebab place on the left hand. Definitely the best place to eat, I tend to go there once a day. See you there next year. :P

@Sumez: I don't know how the hell you're supposed to eat German kebabs..I just need a lot more practice!
See you there indeed.

You need experience in swallowing large objects

@Sumez: o_O

Also, sorry to repeat myself, but this album is so.fucking.good. The first and last tracks...damn...harsh and beautiful.

I have scarcely stopped listening to this album since I got it :)

honestly there is no good kebab place in leipzig. I mean, I am not very big on kebabs, its more dejans thing. but there is one decent place here on suedplatz. called el amir. its right around the corner where i live, btw. i miss the gyros from bielefeld though. best I ever had, even better than the gyro I had in athens.... hehehe
and thanks for the compliments on the destroid record. we will try to return soon to the stage with a full show. 30 minutes are just not enough!!

heh well you gotta come to turkey and i'll have you eat some decent doner. promise :)

just to let you, scanner just licensed "loudspeaker" to COP INT for the american market. cheers, daniel

No way, that place I mentioned is awesome.
If you don't think there's a good kebab place in Leipzig, then you must be used to too high standards. Both quality and quantity is waaaay higher than anything you can get in Denmark. :S

I must admit, I DO like Architect for what it is.

Daniel,

Thanks for the info re: COP INT! Looking forward to getting my hands on this release!

Excellent! I will update the website with this news!

Now where do we get DSTR merch Daniel? I heard Impure wants a thong with the grenade on it ;)

`michael

YES! We want merch!

I still need to get that Haujobb tour shirt! I was fucking broke at that show :(

`michael

snippets of all the tracks are here: http://www.destroid.de/
also, merch is coming soon. dont worry!

More merch!

yeah i want the new haujobb tour shirt....where can i get one????

"forever" is my new fav from this album.....brilliant! .....btw, which movie is sampled for this track?? i know i've heard it somewhere...."the fountain" maybe?

I think it is Finding Neverland.

its crash.

Daniel, have you seen films Evil Aliens (UK), Re-Cycle (Hong Kong) and I'm Cyborg, But That's OK (South Korea)?

i dont. but i hear good things about re-cycle...

just posted a couple of new tracks to check out on the myspace page...

Congrats Destroid! This is absolutely one of the best electro releases of the year by far. Amazing stuff....but I still would like another Haujobb release.

yes, Figurine, because latest Haujobb and new Destroid are different in sound ;) at least in details and atmosphere. i also like album Loudspeaker a lot (just got it two days ago and listen, listen, listen) - music with creative electronic, emotional approach ...unique and endless sound.. eh

the new haujobb is gonna be like "99" but for "08" if you know what i mean...

i didn't like "99" when it first came out, but now i think it's a great album....can't wait.

from monday on (nov 12th) COP INT will carry our new album.
so if yuo want to order loudspeaker in the u.s. go to http://www.copint.com/
thank you for your attention!!

ahhh, i've been waiting for that announcement! after periodically checking COP's website and being disappointed, this is excellent news!

if only copint.com wasn't blocked from work (???!?!!), i'd order it now. i'll have to do it when i get home. *rubs hands greedily*

when is Cut Copy Cicyle coming out heh

Pre-ordered!

copy cut cycle was only a working title... and we lost all the data from the recordings...

When is the "Daniel Myer will DJ your birthday party" event going to take place? My kid is turning 1 next month and we can use the DJ! ;p

well, if you pay daniel myer to play on your next bbq he will do it. I am sure you heard about him being a whore...

I have some hot friends...

Dear Daniel Myer please come to Philadelphia and have Thanksgiving dinner with me and my family. Then please sleep with my mother. Name your price

hey karloz, you have somebody to offer for me? your grandma? I will return soon, hope you have time for a couple of shows!! d

Hahahaha

hey man... I offered you my whore of a girlfriend once, remember? but you turned it down ahaha (smart move)

Im sure I can find someone to pay a good price for some German Sausage


Im always down for some shows.....exactly what kind of shaows are talking about?? ahahah casue I dont strip anymore, and I dont do the donkey shows either...not since that one time in Tijuana...the horror....the horror...

she was the smart one, wouldnt stop chewing that columbine sausage of yours, hahahaha

voice samples from what movies were used in song "Let me leave"? (this is my favourite song on album)

"breakfast club" I overused the sample in the song a little, i think.

The problem with Colombian Sausage is that too much of it can drive women crazy...

so it should be treated like a delicasy, it goes best with Irish Whiskey.

BTW the track Mourn is fucking awesome...

you are a sucker for cheezy tracks... man, i didnt know. are you in love? hahahaha

agree @ vAlien, those samples make the song awesome... cheesey in their source or not lol.

best tracks are Let Me Leave, Bird Of Prey, Run And Hide, and Bittersweet Fate imo

if anybody has trouble getting a hand on the album, please let me know!

cheesy or not... but when i played song Let me leave to one girl she was close to crying... and i understand her...

next song which infected me seriously is Only a vision... it has cool lyrics besides great music...

btw, i found nice phrase recently - Helicopters are souls of dead tanks :)
it reminds me song "Unseeing" of Haujobb :)

i love the lyrics to unseeing, i think, dejan wrote the chorus. and for "only a vison" I had a little help in the second verse from gary zon...

Ordered from COP. Cannot wait to blast this bitch!!

`michael

anybody receive their order from COP yet? *sniff* nothing in the mailbox AGAIN. I also ordered something from The End Records mailorder, and that's not here either. I needs my new music!

Still waiting for mine from StormingTheBase. Will take a week or so until they receive their copies.

(I would assume)

Holy crap! This entire album is brilliant. I really like:

"Revolution"
"As The World Turns"
"Bird of Prey"
"Friend of Foe (The Betrayal)"
"Cover Your Ears"

And I just started listening... I should just say it again, "THE WHOLE ALBUM IS BRILLIANT" Obviously the sound of Mr. Myer with a touch of old VNV and And One. Maybe it's the other way around...

If you have not already ordered this one, do so NOW!
Will be a big once it hits the clubs and radio.

got mine from COP today!!! yippee!!!

Got my COP order too! Daniel-you and the guys kick ass [like you already know]

`michael

cool. thanks. we might be touring the states soon...

don't forget to ship the shirts ahead first

Awesome man-will be good to see you again.

`michael

well, i will get the shirts for the tour...

Bring that damn Haujobb shirt back too. I told you I needed to get one. :D

`michael

hahaha, yes sir!! on your command I´ll make ´em, hahaha

That was meant as a pun on a tour event that happened to both of us in a sense a few years ago, i think when you were on tour for the '99 album.

Anyway, you were doing just like the one Toronto date and then going right down to the US. It was a Monday, a work night but I came to see your show irregardless . I just(only) wanted to have a few drinks, watch a few songs, grab a (the damn)shirt and then leave.

Then to me the unthinkable happened, I found the merch booth didn't have any Haujobb tour shirts 'cause they had ALREADY been shipped ahead of time to the United States. I did freak in my own little way.

Then the next day I found out you were denied at the US border and the tour had to be cancelled and all those shirts were now void in regards to the tour dates printed on the back of them.

All I could think was "I would have bought one of those".

@dmyer/ will the next haujobb be released on out of line?

Another question/ I have bought a new copy of "polarity" (mine has been too much played to be read correctly) and one question: is that second of silence on the 8th track "demon" something normal (at 3 min 20 nearly) or a problem?

it is a problem. so it seems, that you got one of those copies... unfortunately the guy who mastered the record didnt tell us about the drop-out on the dat-tape.

and no, no more out of line.

Daniel: "and no, no more out of line" ...

Das war zu erwarten...

das soll heissen?

Hello i have ordered your new album, i need to wait it middle december (indietective mail order ). Your first album was a very good surprise, now i see your boomer ready to hit strong again

I wait now :)

you have to wait for 4 weeks? just contact our label, i am sure, they will get it fastet to you!!!

@ dmyer: na-ja, das Debut ist irgendwo doch ganz schön "untergegangen" - war wohl wichtiger, sich bei OOL auf Chart-kompatibles Zeugs zu konzentrieren. Außerdem hab ich Dich selten so angepisst erlebt, wie im Zillo-Interview...

es war wichtig, die richtigen bands zu promoten und mich als künstler nicht zu beachten. das ist wahr. well, its over now and I am happy in my new enviroment...

I can't believe Release Mag gave this album a 3 out of 10!!!!

wow, where did you see that?

I wonder if that Peter Marks guy is on drugs or a personal vendetta???

its always me... a lot of people have a lot of hate for me.

EVERYBODY HATES YOU


Copyright Andy LaPlegua 2005

i wish that would be me, who ownes the copyright to that... hahaha

Ok, I read the review. Its his opinion...I still think its a good record.

Strange because Peter Marks loves Haujobb and Architect. He gave the 2004 and 2005 Architect albums 9's.

Though, he does have a tendency to go on tirades. He used to post on the old planetmyer forums as well.

It says he didn't care for Future Prophecies and that this type of music was pioneered by Bio-Tek? I love J. Sharp and I have all the Bio-Tek releases [he was my labelmate] but I don't get this relation? Destroid to me now seems like a blend if Clear Vision and Polyspace though. The real edge of the first album appears to be missing. Which is weird to me after the whole hand grenade logo revelation. This record is very melancholy.

`michael

I'm still waiting for my import copy from Indietective, hope I get the digipak version before it is gone. They already lost me the latest SITD 2CD, apparently that sold out faster than expected and they didn't get enough in. Now I have to beg German ebayers to ship to the US and pay twice as much. Damn, it ain't easy being a collector....

just got this album in my latest batch of orders. i think its a pretty damn good album and is a welcome addition to my collection.

its a lot more mellow than what i usually listen to, but i rather like that.

i read that review from release magazine. seems like the guy who wrote the review took what each member of destroid has achieved musically and expected the combination of them to exponentially raise the bar of electronic music and create an album the likes of which would bring world peace, end poverty, and prolong erections. no wonder he was disapointed.

its sad when people can't apreciate a solid piece of aural creativity for what it is. are musicians really expected to reinvent the wheel with each release?

that review by PETER MARKS didnt offer any insight into the album....sounds like he got rejected by a girl that day.

Loudspeaker - album of month at Machinist. :)

... and I rated it with 4,5/5 stars, brrr... After reading that Releasemag review, I may need to re-write it !???
http://www.chaindlk.com/reviews/index.php?search=destroid&type=music&category=0&format=0

"Great artwork, Im eagerly waiting for this one,the first album was really strong."

I think the artwork is quite ugly and substandard, but the music is extremely well done.

Damn verh your snog review on dlk is just as contradictory as the destroid one, i don't think i can trust anything you write anymore.

<<<It says he didn't care for Future Prophecies and that this type of music was pioneered by Bio-Tek? I love J. Sharp and I have all the Bio-Tek releases [he was my labelmate] but I don't get this relation?>>>

It's because he's trying to throw band names around to show off his musical "knowledge." It's not the first time I've read an unwarrentedly shitty review from that guy, which is why when I see his name attached to a review, I skip it...

Peter Marks=Bubba

elbat: huh?

release-
"If this were the last album Snog were planning on doing I'd appreciate it, hell, I'd revel in it. But it isn't. And although it's not the final album from them, this is the last one I'm bothering with."

dlk-
"if you look for a new and modern sounding Electronica/IDM/Ambient-release, for which the Hymen is otherwise an excellent resource for. This one has to be seen as poetry - fine work, keep on the vision of a better world!"

huh?

elbat

Marc Tater (Chaindlk) has NOTHING to do with Peter Marks (Release Magazine)!

@ elbat: you're producing confusion, if you cut my sentences into pieces. The whole sentence is this:

"You’re wrong with it, if you look for a new and modern sounding Electronica/IDM/Ambient-release, for which the Hymen is otherwise an excellent resource for. This one has to be seen as poetry - fine work, keep on the vision of a better world!"

The first sentence depends on Hymen as a label, not on that Snog album. And yes, I still think it is a quite satisfying kind of Industrial poetry - Thrussel is one of the best with his social/political-criticism.

oh, jeez i'm confused.

When marc said
"... and I rated it with 4,5/5 stars, brrr... After reading that Releasemag review, I may need to re-write it !???
http://www.chaindlk.com/reviews/index.php?search=destroid&type=music&category=0&format=0"

i thought he meant himself...

elbat: sorry, haven't recognized that... I was trying to poke fun on Daniel and his to me great album :-). Sorry to confuse you...

Industrial poltry?

<<<Peter Marks=Bubba>>>

Oh, Iknow. I'm just giving him shit...

Well folks.. I must be honest. This album has to be one of my favorite 07' releases.

Was wondering, what track(s) are your favorites?

I talked to the chief editor from the release mag, they even had a discussion about it, because the review was on the edge, haha.

my fav is "open my eyes" but I will make a new version with a new chorus...

If that album panders to the dance floor, I don't want to see Peter Marks dancing. There are like one or two club friendly tracks on Loudspeaker....

what track do you think is club friendly?

Revolution is

Daniel,

I must say this first and foremost. You are one of the most TALENTED music producers in the music biz PERIOD! You are only second to Jack Dangers (MBM) in MY book. (..;)..)

So many great pieces of work under your belt!!! The only person i can think of who would be inducted in the DnB, Industrial and EBM HALL OF FAMES!...Think about that for a minute people...

But, I wish you would tour Chicago more often (Home of Industrial-EBM/Wax Trax In the 80's...242...RevCo...etc..) and also..... why not post the LYRICS to both Destroid Records?

My Destroid Top 5!

1. As The World Turns
2. Open My Eyes
3. Broken And Abused
4. Denial Of Life
5. Moral
Tomorrow is my BDay! Please post the lyrics to make my wish come true! Or if u wish them to be private please email them to me!!! LOL

Good Luck! Keep pushing out the tunes to add to my collection...!!!

"open my eyes" is my fav as well....i would love to hear a diff version of "forever" as well

most dance friendly?

I think "As the World Turns", "Friend or Foe", and "Open My Eyes" would haul my sorry ass to the dancefloor and get it groovin'.

"Open My Eyes" is also my favorite on the album overall.

@Dexta: Lyrics are in the album booklet...

@vorbedacht: right

BUSTED

or lazy, maybe he just couldnt open the booklet...

HAHA! Open your eyes! :P

Nah...BUSTED, if you want to know the lyrics the first place you look is in the cd booklet to see if they are printed inside. Someone did some downloading!

"let me walk these flames before you
pondering if I still have a soul."

heh.

Guilty before proved innocent.......Actually, I meant the FP CD!

And i'll be honest...I HAVE downloaded some music in the past....and if I like the record I WILL go out and buy it...It's the same as going to your record store and "previewing" it with some headphones..I feel if the record is good...buy it...if not.....delete. Simple...Am I wrong for this? I mean it DOES apply to HARD TO FIND RECORDINGS that are NOT readily accessable or avialible to buy at a store or even online.....I do not steal music..I preview new cd's!

So, will Chicago be on your next tour?

i am not sure, if and when i will return to the u.s.
with the right booking agency and working papers i actually might come back.

and of course its gonna be with destroid. and to chicago as well!!!

Thanks for the response man! And when you come to town... i'll be the first to BUY a shirt, cd and what ever else you will have on sale...I am a myer consumer whore ;) I'm still looking for a dots n dashes cd....got an extra one? lol

Sorry D.DVS - I thought it said "why not post the LYRICS to both Destroid Records?" My bad. ;-) Either way, keeping buying the tunes.

No need for apologies...it did say BOTH......TBH....I ordered the Loudspeaker CD from COP awaiting my delivery from a ice ravaged and holiday postal service. FP does not have the lyrics in it correct? I know I have the REAL CD somewhere...But, In fact daniel was right ...I am TOO LAZY to search through 1500 cd's...I have a 2 yr old son who tuggs at me during that process...and tries to take them all out to help me...lol..I thinjk the lyrics SHOULD be posted on his official Destroid Website...(my 2¢)

FP does have the lyrics, they are just a bit chaotically ordered.

We need a NEW lyric ORDER!!!! haha....

great work Daniel! I been listening to this album a lot lately..the diversity and mix of tempos and styles is really nice..the vocals are stellar...been playing it on the Cyberage Radio and will have a new playlist with it up this week..great sound, man!

thanks for the support.

Why do people who hate music review it?

Does Peter Marks even like music at all?

There is no review here its a rant, a good review balances the bad with the good. He just goes on a tirade that Destroid is not reinventing the wheel.

Never heard the first one and have a difficult time keeping up with all of Daniel's projects, I had to check this out and would agree this would be the top contender for album of the year.

BTW: Daniel, I read above that a hip hop project was in the works for you? if so......is Ah Chamber PHX a preview of what to expect? I'm a huge hip hop fan and would love to hear what you can do with a smooth flow? I hear kool keith is always up for a different type of collab. My guess is that record would be sick!!! ;)

nope, ah chamber phx was just with some hip-hop samples. with myer I did some beats for hip-hop artists and released some kind of downtempo track called "brown sugar" its a B-Side for one of my latest 12"es as myer...

Guess I'm the odd one out here (pointing out that the emperor is not wearing any clothes..? he he), but I feel that the review was spot on. And I say that as a huge Myer fan. Haujobb is perhaps my favorite band and Architect is awesome as well. But I just can't get into the latest Destroid album. To be fair, I've only listened to the samples on MusicNonStop, but I've listened to all of them again and again and nothing there stands out at all. Every track sounds bland, boring, trite... :-( It desperately needs something to spice it up.

No, I don't think a band have to reinvent a genre at all, but if everything they do has been done a 100x better by other bands then what's the point? Ironically, their first album, where they actually tried to sound like other bands, was rather good.

I'm sure Loudspeaker will outsell any Haujobb album easily, and that's just...sad. Myer deserves the money though, he's ****ing brilliant in my honest opinion.

Now please please please release the next Haujobb album! I need my fix! :-S

I can understand people thinking Loudspeaker is a little bland and boring. And it's definitely not "spicy".
But it's a great album to listen to when you are just chilling in your living room.

It's not very original, and it's not that exciting, and even though its general sound isn't really my taste, it's really well made, and after a few listens, the tracks will really get to you.

I totally get, what everyone is saying, except that peter marks dude. we didnt try to make anything new. but we also didnt try to make it boring. we tried to write songs, personal stories. something, that its with a soul. the music was not top priority here. its a tool. and no, destroid will not outsell haujobb. its still too weird for the most part. i dont know how, i dont know why. but thats what it is. i guess, its just me, again, hahaha

To me.....when I first heard Loudspeaker I was expecting more of a FP sound..(the Samples, Harder edged synths and distorted vocals and beats.....)I think Loud is a tad softer.....Just a tad...I just wished another exorcist/kill bill unexpected type sample would have been used......because when I heard FP for the first time.....I was blindsided!!!...Loud didn't catch me by surprise.

kill bill/exorcist was unexpected? I can give you plenty of that, if you want it?

I guess what I meant by that statement was HARDER and MORE EVIL samples that would catch me off guard? Hard to explain......just giving you my 2¢...I love Loudspeaker! Where can I get a Dots n Dashes CD? Got an extra? LOL

yeah, i got more dots&dashes. and actually, if dejan is gonna move to leipzig, we´re gonna continue to work on that. it probably makes more sense...

ooh Dots and Dashes i picked up in Toronto during the doomed ninetynine tour.

i quite dig the funky filter feel to it.

maybe that was the limited autechre cd psychopomp is talking about... hahaha

Dots and Dashes>Autechre

yeah, in another thread he accused me, that i dont care about my fans and that I only brought some autechre cd´s to toronto for sale. but i guess it was the dots&dashes album. they have a similar look I guess.

Why would you sell his CD at your show? In Chicago we say.....He's drinking HATERade!

Hey I was meaning to ask you.....Do you use Pro Tools for sequencing? Reason? Fruity Loops? Mac? PC?.....If you don't mind me asking...What do you use?

An updated sounding Dots and Dashes would be amazing. Get to work!

I use cubase sx3 gonna switch to 4 soon. on a sony laptop!

This is a great album. I love how eclectic the songs are. To me, the album has straight synthpop to EBM to harder EBM. Also, I really like the ballad, "Bittersweet Fate," with its whistle sound and guitars. I was surprised that it wasn't as hard as "Future Prophecies," but I really dig that "Loudspeaker" is in the same vein as Clear Vision's "Deception" and Cleaner's "Solaris."

Speaking of guitars and as mentioned in this thread, I like the use of the guitars in this album. The guitar is awesome in the chorus for "Open My Eyes." It kind of reminds me of the guitar sound in some of Iris' songs in "Wrath," particularly "No One Else to Lose." The guitar part at the end of "Ruins" reminds me of the bass guitar part that Peter Hook uses so very well for New Order and for his side-projects, Revenge and Monaco.

It's too bad that "Ruins" is the edit version on the album because the song ends too soon. I would've loved to have heard the longer original version because that last minute of the song is awesome with that backing synth choral part and that Peter Hook-esque guitar part. Of course, the chorus is freaking awesome. I also like the And One sounds on "Run and Hide" and "As the World Turns."

Furthermore, questions about samples were brought up in this thread. What sample is used in "Revolution"? The one sample that goes, "Retinal testing can detect the presence of contacts or dyes."

My favorites are: Let Me Leave, Run and Hide, Forever, Only A Vision, Bittersweet Fate, Open My Eyes, Ruins, and Mourn. Even for a guy, I dig soft, relationship type songs like "Mourn" and "Let Me Leave."

thanks man. the sample in revolution is from a bad movie though, but the sounddesign and look was great: ultraviolet

Cubase huh? Interesting....Is this for ALL your work? Architect also? cool thanks!

I agree....Ultraviolet is a horrible movie..lol

"nothing good!"

`michael

Agreed, Ultraviolet is totally awful

there is a free track available for download now.

another free track here::

damn, thats just like christmas...

When's the Christmas CD coming out? ;)

Merry Festivus!

I was just thinking about festivus, you have the pole ready?

Cosmo Kramer: Is there a tree?
Frank Costanza: No, instead, there's a pole. It requires no decoration. I find tinsel distracting.
Frank Costanza: It's made from aluminum. Very high strength-to-weight ratio.
Mr. Kruger: I find your belief system fascinating.

Destroid is featured for the last 2 weeks on Cyberage Radio and I am really digging the diversity on this album! I like it more than the first one...keep up the great work man! happy holidaze!

Ultraviolet has Milla in it though!! that makes it a good watch even if the sound is on mute....I can watch Milla all day long....droooolage

hehe. thats why I bought the dvd. great design, milla and decent music. but the rest is just shit, like pontius would say!

"Party Boy" Pontius? haha!

yeah, partyboy from spetznatz, hehehe!! funny guy!

anybody want to start their Airing of Grievances?

The celebration of Festivus begins with Airing of Grievances, which takes place immediately after the Festivus dinner has been served. It consists of lashing out at others and the world about how one has been disappointed in the past year. Every household has its own traditions; in one house, the Airing of Grievances consisted of writing the grievances on the fridge in marker

Frank Costanza: And at the Festivus dinner, you gather your family around, and tell them all the ways they have disappointed you over the past year!
Frank Costanza: I got a lot of problems with you people! And now, you're gonna hear about it. You, Kruger. My son tells me your company STINKS!
George Costanza: Oh, God.

just watched the final season! I love that show. any news on another "curb your..." season?

While a new season has not yet been confirmed, a New York Post article dated November 5, 2007 mentions that Larry David is considering doing the show for 2-3 additional years. Larry has been quoted several times saying "Curb will run longer than Seinfeld did". In a recent interview with Richard Lewis, he says Larry's tone on the phone is very hyper and energetic. "This usually means he has come up for a story arc for a new season."There was a rumor that Larry wanted Michael Richards (the only main cast member of Seinfeld to not appear on Curb yet) to join next season and joke about his recent controversy. This also sparked rumors of the arc of the show involving a Seinfeld reunion, but Jeff Garlin said that part of the rumor is unlikely. Whether or not Richards is joining is still unknown.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curb_Your_Enthusiasm#Season_7

that is good news, i didnt know, that there is a 6th season already!! yay! I infected the whole diary of dreams crew with the first 5 season, hehe. they are addicted to "curb..." now!!

when he "adopts" the black family..and the consequences that arise from it is CLASSIC!

Happy New Year Daniel. Don't forget CHICAGO!

tell that to the promoters in your city!! and our booking agency. working on a tour for late may now. since I got acccused on touring that timeframe anyway I might as well just do it. hehe!!

Cool....You'll love chicago in the summer...best city in the world at that time...look me up...i'll show u the places....we'll have a delerium together....my treat! I'm sure you like that beer....

hehehe. i know chicago quite well in the summertime. we played with hmb that wt2 thingie a few years ago. I love the city!

Well I have cubs tickets! Bleachers in the summer with cold beers and hot babes.....hehehe!

Any chances to see you on the french border ? Lahr, for example ? ;-)

Mmmh, Daniel...It's good to read you writing : "99" for "08"...sounding good !

PS : A CD is still waiting for you :-)

It's a really good record... I'm thinking of flying to Köln this summer to see Haujobb and Covenant at Amphi ;)

I listened carefully: impressive works on the percs, as usually, the glitches are ok, the general moods too. But something is missing...I dunno what, but there's a lack of something imho :-/ Lyrism ? darkness ? aggressivity ?

wow that review on Release Magazine is pretty harsh.. I dunno, I dig the CD..there are some synth-sounds here and there that I dont like/dont appeal to me and the ballad-type track isnt my cup of tea but id say its a decent album overall. Theres a nice amount of complexity and melody in it and the production is high-quality.

Daniel, When you get a chance check out this band i've been listening to for a month now...great programming. Let's hear what you think?

http://www.myspace.com/mindfluxfuneral

Destroid is gonna perform at this years WGT on may 8th at the Moritzbastei. Something like the inofficial opening party! d

posted a remix of "revolution" on the myspace page. tell me if this is clubby enough, please!!
http://www.myspace.com/destroidmusic

It can't be more ! ;-) But a little old-schooled (EBM bass roxx !)

Sounds good...Will there be a remix to "open my eyes"?

yeah, a friend from portland is working on a remix. if someone else wants to do it, i still have the remixkit here...

Send it over :)

If I were making music, I'd do it. :P
Looking forward to hearing the remix of Revolution, I think the original track is quite club friendly as it is.

@Daniel-I'll hit you up on that remix too. I love that track. I'll email you..

`michael

@dmyer: One of the best releases in 2007! Congrats!

Daniel got a kit for bird of prey lurking around?

So I'll ask Klaus first if we can bog him down temporarily-otherwise we can use mine.

`michael

I'll bring the rubber gloves and the baby oil!!!

OUCH!!!

I'll catch you in Leipzig

right on. still working on the live-setup for this show. we want to do something, that we can also bring to the states for the tour. its kind of difficult. we tried with sequencers and analog synths, but its way too complicated to bring that on for a tour. we´ll see! d

i'll be at the DC show....i take it the venue will be Rock & Roll Hotel?

not sure yet. but i will post every update on here as well.

@Daniel : what do you plan to do with the remixes of your unofficial contest ? ;-)

i want to talk to the label about it. since we finally hit the DAC there is a little buzz going on now. so we might do a little tour edition of the album... or just an ep.

Tell me if you need more than an mp3 from me ;-)

This album is awesome. I have mixed feelings about missing the show. I heard some interesting things about the LA show.

i am sure, you would have enjoyed every minute of it:)
