What a great deviation! I love it.

That is both John & I's favorite too. Even though we accidentally messed up the time signature, and it loops every 7 measures, instead of the standard 2,4,8, or 16.

I think this is one of those times when you should use the "don't tell if they don't notice" trick. 
Either way, it really is a great album. I'll have to keep an eye out for the next.

Thanks :3
Very different devart submission. I also enjoyed People Turning Inward, although Vertical Noise energizes me more (of course, given PTI's purpose...). Thanks again!

Cool looking album cover and such, but techno's not really my thing *did try listening to some of it, though*

Very cool...
It's very close to the mario music style remixes I've heard

After listening to the sample track, I just had to get the whole album. I have listened to it all the way through about 4 times since I got it 2 days ago. I would have to say my favorite tracks are "Arrival" and "Euphoria." Wonderful and touching melodies on these. Love the piano.
"Motion" has very well-done drums which give an excellent drum-and-bass feel to it.
I would say my least favorite track is "Senator George." The *WHIRR* sounds which start in at 1:04 are somewhat distracting and get annoying after a while, as do the heavy hits that start at 1:47.
Overall, a great album.
If you don't mind my asking, what software did you use? If this was already answered, my apologies; I'm too lazy at the moment to read through all the comments.

Downloaded it all, wonderful.
Techno is one of my favourite genres, and, I absolutely love piano music....
I really appreciate it 
Thanksh for putting this up n_n

Hey, thank you for the tunes! This stuff is great. It has good beats and it is not any of that "turn it down because it is really annoying" type music. I kind of dig the piano selections. Thank you again!

Hey, thanks for forking over the bandwidth. From the sampler, it sounds like music I'd enjoy listening to, so I'll be downloading the whole album.

these tracks are so rad. I'm going to make one right now.

Downloaded the bolded songs, awesome stuff. Very cool artwork too.

Heh the sample was a good idea to include ^_^ I totally dig Arrival and Euphoria... the rest are damn good too. Best Techno/Whatever you want to catagorize this as/Electronica music I've heard in ages
As for the cover... I don't know, it seems a bit empty to me but it's cool

First of all the artwork is really stunning for the CD. I really like to see clean "out of the box" style art in lables, the design is really killer.
I enjoyed the first track, during the beginning is was sort of like an eighties old industrial sound, nice movement really throughout all the tracks, but I was never really led in any direction. But I thouroughly enjoyed listening, took awhile, I hate sampling music of this type, you really have to listen to the whole track, one by one, sampling you just miss out, but thats cool, was nice to listen too while I browsed.
Good work to you, and your friend, there is always a sound for someone.
Favorite track would have to be, "11 - Euphoria (smashmethod Remix)."
Keep experimenting.

Oh. You've just made me discover something really... different. I've always hated electronic music, but this... this made me feel at peace. Your skills are admirable. Thank you so much for sharing!

I like "Cold Storage" myself...but they're all very good. And the CD art is fantastic. Kudos!

Hi smashmethod, this is one interesting concept you are producing here in dA!
I have not seen any deviation that combines both visual and audio aspect together. At least not in dA, except ya. Well, kindly inform me if you do come across other deviation that does what you do. I believe you should be the pioneer of this concept in dA.
Coolness. /me gonna download some songs.

arrival/euphoria are the best by far to me. was wondering if that was acid/cakewalk, or something else - and if you can send me the pdf for the cover whenever they are ready @ laurier@easy.com
thank you

Tracks 5, 6, 7, 8 and 11 were really good. The rest are alright, but don't shine as much, in my opinion.
Thanks for providing the downloads.
Cool covers, too. Very clean looking.

This is an amazing CD to listen to after spending the night in the hospital taking care of someone. The nurses that are on strike here need to listen to it to calm themselves down and go back to HELPING people like they became nurses to do. I feel the need to put words to Euphoria... I don't know why

How different do you want your album to be? Do you wish it to contain an amalgam of styles with lots of inventiveness? This fits the description - Dan Meyer style. I found it catchy.
By the time you musically reach the techno/trancey/mario style track Euphoria (smashmethod Remix) you will either marvel at it all or be totally confused. This is a double album of contrasts, where smashmethod has thrown a box full of samples up in the air and collated a new direction in music. Stunned.

"People turning inward" appears more and more in my Winamp playlist I hope this Cd is as good as the other one.
Maybe it's better to share the music through [link] ,saves you bandwith and maybe you'll get more recognition.
And thanks!!

thanks!

wow. i'd have to say that Arrival's my favorite of the lot. probably because it reminds me a lot of an old friend who plays piano... she has a lot of songs in that style.
i also like Prototype Beta. it's a really unique piece.
