Listening now. I'm about to finish track 2. I've never heard industrial and only a little bit of electronica, so I have no idea which elements are which. I don't think it's my type of genre but for what it is, it's very cool. Sounds like a big production and a lot of work went into it.
Thanks man, I really appreciate you listening to it despite it not being your thing. And thanks for the kind words.
Listening now with headphones. Very intense! I can actually feel it drilling into my brain as I sit here typing.
I remember being introduced to both Industrial and Electronica by some of my students back in the 90's. Heavier than I usually listen to, but not ridiculously so. I can hear how this music is evolved from some of what I heard then. Also, good production, and I like the textures and balance, and of course the intensity. I'm sure why, but that's the word that keeps coming to mind. Intense.
Useless Fantasy! Fun stuff.

Thanks man, I actually recorded the entire thing alone in my apartment haha. But I usually do go for an intense sound, thanks so much!
Really good stuff, and this style doesn't usually draw me in.
"Alive" and "Living Is But Dying Well" are pretty similar riff-wise, which isn't bad because the riffs are awesome.
"Useless Fantasy" is brilliant. More structure and "song-like" and it's very well paced through the entire 5 minutes.
"Awakening" would be a great build up song as an intro to an album. Either that or it could easily be extended into a full length song.
Great job, Adami. ![:clap:](https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/Smileys/default/clap.gif)
Thanks dude. Not sure I hear the similarities between Alive and Living but I'm glad you dig them both.
Yea, Useless Fantasy is supposed to be the "single" or whatever. Hoping to make a video for it sooner or later, as soon as I figure out how to do a video with only one band member.
And yea, Awakening is the opening track on the album, glad it kind of sets itself up for that.
All in all, thanks so much for all of the kind words guys. I know I kind of disappeared for a while there, and while I still don't have much to say I'll make sure to post in threads that I feel I can contribute in.
