The Silence now available for pre-order

Post image for The Silence now available for pre-order

The Silence is a companion EP to The Sound, featuring eight remixes, a collaboration, and two original tracks that weren’t included on the album. You can pre-order it here.

I’m trying something new: name your price. There are plenty of Color Theory fans out there who genuinely can’t afford $10. Others are willing and able to offer a higher level of support. Though my music is more popular than ever, sales aren’t what they used to be. Simply put, your financial support allows me to make new music. Until the official December 7 release date, you can choose to pay as little or as much as you’re comfortable with.

There’s another reason to pre-order: bonus tracks. Two extra remixes will be included for those who order before the December 7 release date.

Here’s a taste of each of the EP’s 11 tracks:

Color Theory - The Silence preview

To name your own price and receive the two bonus remixes, pre-order the EP here. When you place your order, you’ll be prompted to download the preview. You’ll be emailed a download code to get all thirteen tracks a few days before release, in your choice of 320k mp3, FLAC, or just about any other format you could possibly desire.

Just to be extra-clear, this is a digital-only release. There are no plans to press CDs, but you could always download CD-quality FLAC or Apple Lossless files and burn your own.

Thanks for being a fan!

Thank you! I need all the help I can to spread the word.

Love it all. Hope you don’t mind, but I posted this to the Music subreddit at reddit.com for more exposure. Hope it helps sales or at least get the word out on your music.

An absolutelly solid release. Gonna use most of the tracks for my sets at Synthetic Mode parties.

loving what i hear thus far of Extroverts at Play (Rename 7″ Introversion) remix

Ahh well im glad it’s more out of practical necessity then choice. $2000 is a high price to ask for, especially for an EP, I see your side of it!
Well you have my support whatever you decide in the future. It’s the music not the ‘case’ after all.

I’m a little disappointed too Jordan. Sure, I could do CD-Rs, but that wouldn’t be much of an improvement over downloading the FLAC files and burning it yourself. To create a package on par with the album would cost $2000 between the pressing, design, and additional licensing fees for the cover photo.

While I’ve said that The Sound would be my last physical release, I’m still open to pressing CDs of the next album if there’s enough support for it.

Jordan November 17, 2010 at 6:24 pm

Im a little dissapointed that there is no physical release. But i support you all the same. The preview sounds pretty good so far, especially the Odd Year remix of “Backseat”, and i love the fact that “Waiting In The Wings” is on there to. Something wonderful to look forward to. Thank you!

Will probably be naming a decent price, would totally have named a much higher price for an actual CD. Too bad it’s not feasible. :(

Brian Hazard November 17, 2010 at 12:30 am

I appreciate the thought Terence!

That’s not a coincidence Erika! The remixers have contributed many tracks to DDR games over the years, and are a big part of the game’s sound.

Erika November 16, 2010 at 7:37 pm

Very random thought: The last remix of “Two” sounds like it would be perfect as a Dance Dance Revolution track!

Also, Release the Hounds sounds awesome.
