SO PROUD.

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. =)

    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

  • Bianca Marie

    I love the cover! It looks amazing. I really can't wait for the new album. Definitely going to pre-order this :D

  • Reno42

    Awesome, definitely something to be proud of. Can't wait to hear it! :D

  • Camille

    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.

  • janitorbud

    So. Cool.

  • Kristen

    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

  • Tennath

    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!

  • itiselizabeth

    That looks amazing. I'm very very excited.

  • Lewissssssss

    Very retro-and-like-awesome :D

    Genius, simplistic but awesome. Nice one!

    That dick! HE'S RUINED MY EP.

  • emerylafis

    LOL sonichu!!!

  • Maja

    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.

    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.

  • Gem

    I thought the album was called the world is mine?

  • Amy x

    Ohhh, shiny new album…so much excitement!!! <3

  • Lauren

    it looks soo awesome! =D

  • charli

    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.”

  • Beth

    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

  • Tom

    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.

  • Gillian

    You know, I am clinically OCD. And I can't handle this. How do normal people do it?

  • http://alexdaymusic.com Alex

    And I replied, saying that the Thousand Hours page says it's on third fret, not second :p

  • magicmarkers

    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!

  • Annee

    I don't mean to sound dumb but what is an ep?

  • http://www.youtube.com/MrBankDog Jessie

    Excellent! I LOVE this cover!

  • Mandy

    Looks awesome man!

  • magicmarkers

    it's basically just an album but with fewer songs on it, usually about 3-5

  • Gem

    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

  • http://www.youtube.com/itsamemyleo Myles

    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

  • JamesPeterBailey

    That is effingh fantasma-orgasmic! :D

  • JamesPeterBailey

    dont say that! Alex will take it seriously :P

  • Heidihoeexo

    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? [:

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/thatawkwardmoment Laura

    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.
