BT - This Binary Universe New Album

Are you looking forward to the release of this album?

What do you think its gonna sound like?

It will be released on 5.1 dvd and the music was made using instruments he prototyped in C-sound, then rebuilt in Command Line and X-code. The pieces are being made into short films so when he tours it will be in sit-down venues with surroud sound and surround projection.

In one of the tracks he has used an ice machine as a drone instrument and a dot matrix printer and an ATM for percussion sounds.

His line of software instruments - (probably something similar to his Break Tweaker and Stutter Edit instruments which he uses on the album) will be available around christmas and will be for X-code on the mac and VST format for the PC.

�This Binary Universe,� has been described as �fine art that works on many levels, mind-bendingly deep but a pleasure� by Keyboard Magazine, which went on to say that:

�In a hundred years, it could well be studied as the first major electronic work of the new millennium.�

BT is also beginning sessions on a new artist album, the first of which features Police founder and drummer Stewart Copeland. �It�s got beautiful jangly guitars all over it,� says BT of the newest project, �I�ve always wanted to take those elements and put them in a context that makes sense on a dance floor.

Oh, a new BT album. I didn't even know. I have really liked his previous works. He has a good style that is dynamic in his songs. Hope his new album will be good.

HOLY CRAP!!!

I need to have that album as soon as it comes out. Jesus, thats going to be sooooo freaking good.

I just read on wikipedia that some magazine made a review for the template sessions of This Binary Universe and it said people in 100 years will look back and see "This Binary Universe" as the first real innovative Dance Album of the 21st century. Finally Something good after all these cheesy trance songs . Hell yeah!!!!

Looking forward to it. aRGHH cant wait

BT is obviously an excellent producer but I don't know why he produces so much shit. I loved ESCM - ever since that I've hated everything he's done. I really hope that on this new album we'll see the awesome producer that BT is.

First of All, dont call somebody's work shit. You wouldnt be able to make things like he does, just because you dont like them, doesnt mean it is shit. He makes much better music than ALL THOSE LITTLE SUPERSTAR DJS like Paul van Dyk.

And i cant really tell why you hate his work now. He has produced even better songs than the ones on ESCM ever since, c'mon, dont tell me you dont like Godspeed, Sunblind, Fibonacci Sequence or SImply Being Loved.

Maybe you are just close minded and want to stick to a genre. People who love music do not lock themselves inside a genre. Thats what BT did, he explored many genres and triumphed. His new album will go back to his roots and amplify them, im pretty sure about that.

Hey, dont call BT's recent work shit, he is the Best Producer nowadays. In every genre.

He is just a genious,, and he has actually gotten better with each album. Emotional Technology is just one of the best albums ive ever heard. This binary universe is gonna be so much better.

its going to be great...

if anyone has the stealth original score, listen to henry's death, near the middle

i think the style is going to be somewhat like that

but who knows...

Ok, i agree with you. I apologize. Just because i dont like Most of Paul van Dyk doesnt mean i have to put him in comparison with BT.

But you need to admit, BT is the SHIIIIIIEEEET!!! hes great.

Just to add a little extra cream on the top - Fibonacci Sequence was played by Parks & Wilson in their Essential Mix 2000. That mix is absolutely insane (and this is pretty much everyones thoughts on it, from the thread about it).

I love his albums! So BT has my full support.

We pay for his music- we reserve right to judge it. Just because you don't make music doesn't mean you can't be critical- otherwise we wouldn't be able to praise it either.

I hate to put a downer on the fanboy celebration in this thread up to now, but a new BT album is a mixture of emotions. On the plus, the name BT instantly inspires memories of many of many favourite pieces of dance music and his ridiculously perfect production. On the negative, for the last seven or more years he's been making deliberately mainstream fluff. Yeah, broadening your musical boundaries is one thing, but emulating derivative, mindless pop and hip-hop is another. BT still clearly has it in him to be up there with the best, as he shows every now and then. But he's too content to slum it with low-ideas, low-concept pop music. The man was at his best when he was using all his musical and production talent to rock dancefloors, and unless he goes back to that mindset this will probably be as poor as his last few works.

He used to be. Just short of a decade ago. Very rarely these days, though.

Well, surprise surprise, he declared that "This Binary Universe" will go back to his roots, and besides from that, He is releasing another record after TBU 6 months later, of pure Dance Music, no rock or pop or hip-hop-ish tracks. So you can except dance music from him. Yeah.

And Songs like Knowledge of Self (Hip-Hop ish) rock dancefloors. Just like trance does, by the way.

I actually prefered ESCM to Ima for BT. I liked the variety in that album, it just flowed well. Ima was a great trance album but I think it's cool when an artist can diversify, just as long as they can intelligently weave in and out of genres of sub-genres. I think Movement In Still life was also fairly good, but I think the flow of ESCM was just phenomenal and it wasn't completely all over the place, like his last album was I feel. So I am hoping that Binary Universe will be similar to ESCM, and the album after that like Ima. It would also be cool if he could make a concept-mixed CD like Sasha's "Involver", remix some stuff and make it half artist album and half mixed CD, with some live instruments, just totally re-work some tracks, even rework some classics from him. That would sound awesome...

Emotional technology dissapointed me, but I enjoyed MISL, pop music is fun. Emotional technology had that one song with the "pretty aninals" lyrics, and that other which went "it goes over and over and over and over again". I dunno, there was alot of annoying lyrics, it made me wish I had listened to it before buying it, and music wise it just didn't sound as wild and unexpected as the other bt cd's did.

Communicate, simply being loved, those were good, then there were a couple tunes that were OK, but like half that CD was annoying, compared to the other cds which I enjoyed alot more. I mean he did annoying stuff in the past too like "memories in a sea of forgetfullness". All cd's have a couple tracks that you won't enjoy as much, but even the annoying singing like that memories in a sea tune fell into my "OK" range rather than annoying me like alice dj lyrics annoy me.

So after that im skeptical of bt, wont just buy the thing before hearing it first like I did with emotional technology, but I'm definately looking forward to hearing it, beause it might be good.

did bt have a role in "in search of sunrise 5", I remember people posting things that indicated that he did, could that be any hint for what this new cd might sound like? only time will tell

Yes, I know. I'm not saying he's totally pop or he's totally shit.

No I don't think he did unless the CD was made on Ableton Live, and BT assisted Tiesto with how to use it.. not sure...Tiesto's role is to be the mixer/DJ (Tiesto's not much of a producer really), BT's role is a producer (he even admits he's not that great of a DJ, and I've heard people being disapointed when they've seen him live, whether it's his tune selection or screw ups with his laptop or software or whatever..)

Exactly. Couldn't have put it better myself. And didn't.
