Relocator debut feat. Derek Sherinian AVAILABLE NOW! CD pre-order, mp3 downloads

Kyo · 12-08-2009, 01:39 PM

Hi everyone,

it's been a bit quiet since our big announcement in October, but thankfully
the long wait is now over - the Relocator debut album is done and it's OUT!

We won't have the physical CDs in our hands for another two weeks or so,
but if you want to hear the album now, you don't have to wait until then!
We are now offering high-quality mp3s of the full album (complemented by
the CD booklet in PDF format so you're not missing out on the liner notes).
We have also started taking CD pre-orders and the cool thing is: If you
pre-order the CD, you can download the mp3s and start listening right away!

The album is now available here:
The official homepage of Relocator

Here's the cover and the tracklisting:

1. Red Vibes (6:13)
2. Biosphere (8:00)
3. Relocator (5:24)
4. Proxima (6:16)
5. Aavishkar (10:30)
6. 13 Reasons (6:31)
7. Urban Blue (6:33)
8. The Alchemist (11:32)

Total playing time: 60:59

Stefan Artwin: guitars, programming
Michael Pruchnicki: bass, fretless bass
Frank Tinge: drums, percussion
Bartek Strycharski: electric violin

Special guest:
Derek Sherinian: all keyboards

You can listen to two full tracks on our MySpace page:
Relocator on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads
We will upload a new track every day until the end
of the week, so keep checking back and listening.

Note: We had to split one song into two parts due to the MySpace limits.
On the album it is of course presented as one track without interruption.

You can order our album and read a bit more about us here:
The official homepage of Relocator

Let me answer some frequently asked questions about the album right away:

Q: Does Derek Sherinian really play on this album?
A: Yes.

Q: But it's probably just a guest solo or something, right?
A: No, Derek recorded all the keyboard parts for all eight tracks.

Q: Is there violin on all tracks?
A: No, only three of the eight tracks feature our violinist.

Q: When do the vocals start?
A: Never. It's an all-instrumental album!

Q: How much is shipping to my country?
A: Shipping is included in the flat-rate CD price of 15 Euro.

Q: I hate the RIAA. Can I still buy your CD?
A: Yes. This is a 100% independent production and every penny made goes directly to the artists!

Q: I hate PayPal. Can I order your CD somewhere else?
A: Not at the moment, but this will change once we get the CDs from the pressing plant.

Q: When will my CD ship?
A: We expect to start shipping CDs around Christmas. Keep checking our website for updates!

Q: I just ordered the CD/mp3s. How can I download the mp3s?
A: You will get an e-mail with a download link. It might take a while before it is sent.

Q: The MySpace audio quality sucks. Can I download a full track in decent quality somewhere?
A: It's not Christmas yet! Please be patient.

Q: I can't find any reviews of your album. Why is that?
A: It's simple: We didn't delay the release for people to prepare their reviews like
record companies usually do. Only very few people have heard it before today.

Q: Your album rocks! Can I review it?
A: Yes, please do that. It would be very helpful.

Q: Your album sucks! Can I review it?
A: No, all negative reviews are embargoed until December 2034. :P

Q: How come I've never heard of you guys before?
A: Duh - it's our debut album!

I'll gladly answer any other questions you might have!

Kick-ass dude

I've been waiting for this since your teaser/demo tracks so I'll try to pick up a CD copy when they finally get to you (and yes, I will do a review for the small but growing circulation of my site).

Kyo · 12-09-2009, 02:00 AM

Thanks, man! We really appreciate it!

Looking forward to your review!

Samer · 12-09-2009, 09:40 AM

CD sounds great man, ill have to pick one up.

Kyo · 12-09-2009, 06:23 PM

Cool, thanks!

By the way: We just uploaded a new track to our MySpace page. It's the title track of the album. This is our most straight-forward track, kind of our "single", if there can be such a thing on an instrumental prog album.

Enjoy!

Hey everyone,

just bumping this to let you know that a whole new bunch of full tracks is now online for you to check out!

And once again our entire playlist on MySpace has changed since my last post. Check it out!

By the way, for everyone who missed some of the earlier tracks,
three of us will be guests on DementiaRadio.com - Home tomorrow,
Tuesday Dec. 15, starting at noon EST (that is 18:00 in Central
European Time). We'll play our entire album and lots of our
personal prog/fusion favorites, so tune in - it should be fun!

Kyo · 12-21-2009, 06:28 AM

Short update: It looks like we'll get the CDs on December 30th. Of course we'll ship the pre-orders the same day.

Oh, and let me add one thing: "They use seven strings!"

Bad news...

The final Relocator CDs arrived from the pressing plant today just as scheduled. And yet we can't ship them yet - unfortunately the layout of the CD booklet is totally messed up as you can see in the comparison image below.

How did this happen? We have no idea at this point. We are still waiting for an explanation from the pressing plant and a solution for this unfortunate situation or some kind of schedule for replacements. At least the CDs themselves seem to be fine...

We are sorry for this delay and we'll keep you updated. Thanks for your patience!

ShadyDavey · 12-31-2009, 11:13 AM

Darn shame dude - hope it gets sorted ok!

HeavyMetal4Ever · 12-31-2009, 12:01 PM

I hope they fix the problem asap, 'cause your music kicks all sorts of arse.

Rock on!

Thanks!

We might hear something from them tomorrow, but I kind of doubt anyone there will be working before Monday. The whole new year's thing probably means it'll all be delayed by another five days before we even hear back from the pressing plant at all.

A little update from us:

We finally have a new release date for the CD: January 25th!

We apologize for the delay to all who have pre-ordered the CD.

The first English review has been posted here:
Ytsejam.com - Your Progressive Rock One-Stop

If you speak German, you can read two more reviews here:
ROCKTIMES - CD-Review / Relocator - Same
Babyblaue Prog-Reviews: Relocator: Relocator: Review

Also, the full album is now available for streaming on our MySpace page:
Relocator on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads

Check it out if you haven't yet!

Kyo · 01-25-2010, 05:41 PM

It's a bit hard to believe after all the delays, but our debut CD is finally available -
today the corrected batch arrived and we've already shipped all the pre-orders
as well as the five CDs for those who won our "guess who" competition in 2008!

For now the CDs are available only directly via our website:
The official homepage of Relocator

And our "order the CD, get MP3s right away" offer for the impatient still stands!

Thanks for listening!

PS: It would be cool if someone could change the thread topic to something like
Relocator debut feat. Derek Sherinian - Update: CD now available!

Thanks!

Kyo · 02-05-2010, 01:54 PM

Hi everyone,

just letting you know that our album is now also available from CDBaby.

Link: Relocator | Relocator | CD Baby

This is quite a bit quicker and cheaper than buying directly from us if you live in the USA or Canada.

Kyo · 02-09-2010, 03:54 PM

Hey everyone,

our album is now also available from the iTunes Store.

Please note however that we make more from direct
sales via our website http://www.relocator-project.com
where we also offer a FLAC version at no extra cost.

Kyo · 03-18-2010, 03:27 PM

Just letting you know that our album is now available from
one of the premier web stores for guitar and instrumental
music, Guitar Nine Records:
Guitar Nine Records - Relocator "Relocator"

I imagine quite a few people here are loyal customers.

Oh, and btw:

Hah Yes! I shall pick it up as of now mate - I have to say I forgot as I've had a bit to do recently but I shall make up for that as soon as I can

ShadyDavey · 03-18-2010, 03:39 PM

Just ordered the CD + FLAC Download so I'll get that review up at the weekend. Am I ok to use that picture of your CD in post #16?

Thanks for helping us get the word out! We can really use all the help we get with a 100% independent release like this!

Kyo · 06-13-2010, 05:08 PM

I got some cool news - the subject could now be extended to "available in Japan, too!"

Check this out:
http://marquee.co.jp/world_disque/d.w.frameset.html

Since most people here can't read that page (or even display it properly), here's the story: Marquee Inc. is a big Japanese label
and their import store World Disque has picked up our album. And they're even calling it a "masterpiece" in their description!

This is really quite something for us and of course we're extremely proud!

Customisbetter · 06-13-2010, 05:13 PM

This music is pretty bitchin.
