I had another of those very picky conversations with Alan. I think the pickiest thing I said was “that bar needs to extend by 17%, at the moment it’s going by about 22%”. I’m a tosser. I can’t work out if my precise direction is a designer’s dream or a designer’s nightmare. Either way, this is the result:
EP release is March 1st; pre-orders go live on February 1st. =)

Alex, it looks fantastic! I can't wait to hear everything <3
I LOVE IT!!! and now I realllllllllllllllly need to buy the pyshical copy. :) It makes me smile to know that I'll probably be listening to this whilst playing those retro games… XD
I love the cover! It looks amazing. I really can't wait for the new album. Definitely going to pre-order this :D
Awesome, definitely something to be proud of. Can't wait to hear it! :D
Smashing! ^_^
I love the pokemon and Mario kart songs on your YouTube channel and can’t wait to hear the studio versions.
By the way that bar looks like it goes to 118%. Maybe you should get Alan to move it 2 pixels to the left :P
Usually it's helpful. It'd be even more helpful to start on skype, ot end there, so we should keep that in mind with TWIM. =) Glad you're happy with how the album art ended up.
So. Cool.
I was nerdy enough to measure and calculate what percentage. It seems to be at 116%, but i'm measuring with a ruler held up to my screen so I trust you guys. :D
That's awesome! It has this Let It Be/Demon Days vibe to it. Using the silhouettes though, nice touch. Good jobbers on the Alan/Alex combo!
That looks amazing. I'm very very excited.
Very retro-and-like-awesome :D
Genius, simplistic but awesome. Nice one!
That dick! HE'S RUINED MY EP.
LOL sonichu!!!
That looks awesome! The only thing I would change is the green. It's just a little bit too green compared with the other colors.
omnomnomnom
I like the album art a lot, but something doesn't feel quite right. If you look at the colours that were used, you see that the red, blue and yellow are quite toned down and not super-bright. The green seems brighter than the other three colours. Maybe you could try to tweak the green and see how it looks?
It's a very cool album cover though :) Even with the slightly more brighter green :)
PS: I am sorry for saying this, as it is none of my business obviously but couldn't keep quiet about it either.
I thought the album was called the world is mine?
Ohhh, shiny new album…so much excitement!!! <3
it looks soo awesome! =D
great cover! a perfectionist as always! shame its missing your gorgeous face xD
cant wait to hear it! <333
It is. This is the EP.
From five entries ago:
“Today was the first day of three consecutive days that I’ll be in Dreamtrak Studios recording my new three-track electronic video game-inspired EP. I know that’s quite a long title, so for short I’ve dubbed it “117% Complete” – a Spyro The Dragon reference.”
all your pedantic are belong to us.
however, it looks really cool!
and my birthday is february the second, what better present than a chance to pre-order :)
please come and perform in the north (west) xD
Didn't know where else to put this and I don't know how often you'd actually be able to check your YouTube inbox, so..
I decided that I wanted to learn your entire album on guitar. And through the use of your website it has been quite easy. (Thank you for that, by the way.)
Anyway, I started with Holding On, then No More, and just decided I'd go back 1 track at a time through Candy Floss. However, when I first tried to play A Thousand Hours, it didn't sound quite right. I checked the placement of my capo, then the tuning of my guitar. Obviously I can't tell you how to play what YOU'VE written, but is the capo actually on the 2nd fret?
I just wanna help out so you can give the most accurate information on your site.
Have a good one, man.
You know, I am clinically OCD. And I can't handle this. How do normal people do it?
And I replied, saying that the Thousand Hours page says it's on third fret, not second :p
Personally, I'd ahve moved the 'aklex day; text up sligthly, just so it's more centered =P but it looks AMAZING, I want a poster of this!
I don't mean to sound dumb but what is an ep?
Excellent! I LOVE this cover!
Looks awesome man!
it's basically just an album but with fewer songs on it, usually about 3-5
ahh i see. just me being stupid then, hadnt checked your blog in a while.
Latest youtube video well funny, man (Y) keep em coming :D
xx
That cover looks so cool. I love the spyro reference with the title '117% complete' I had 117% complete on Spyro: Year of the Dragon. That was the most awesome, retroest game ever. Can't wait for this CD. :D
That is effingh fantasma-orgasmic! :D
dont say that! Alex will take it seriously :P
Great cover :D
You might have said this in one of your past blogs, but I looked and didn't see it, Do you know about how much the album is going to cost? [:
Just wondering, do you think that people who don't really like games will still enjoy this EP? Just like people who didn't like Doctor Who enjoy Chameleon Circuit's music.
<3
Excellent. Grats to you and Alan.
