I just released my first music album in years, which can be heard here. The cover art was made with the help of FS, so here's kind of a peek behind the scenes for you. (Originally inspired by the font Recognition.)

Nice. 10/10.

Comment by Ivy Meadows (Isaiah Garcia) 17th june 2013

Wow nice! And cool music also.

Comment by cablecomputer 17th june 2013

You're also a musician!

Comment by kassymkulov 17th june 2013

Having seen this design in action, as a cover, I give it a full 10/10

My favourite tracks are 'Escaping Dreams' & 'Universes Apart' but all are well produced. Good luck with the album.

As a DJ, I was curious and listened to all your album.
It's very stripped back 1980's new romantic/ new wave.
It reminds me of John Carpenter's stuff from his movies. The ones I like are:-
2. Funky Orange (Like Fade To Grey by Visage)
7. Space Magic ( the most up-to-date feel with modern riff, reminds me of a Trance classic or new EDM tracks I have).

Love the 3D block on the cover

Thanks everyone for the support!
@architaraz: Yep, longer than a type designer actually.
@djnippa: Thanks, I was indeed inspired by 80s music and soundtracks such as Carpenter's (especially in City of the Future). I've actually made a cover of Fade to Grey, too.

I'm up to listening to Fractal Flow so far. I've loved all tracks so far, but this is the best yet.

You've just given me the next album to play on repeat. Thanks.

The download page is not taking to download page though.

Comment by thalamic 17th june 2013

The cube font/illustration is awesome as well.

Comment by thalamic 17th june 2013

I really love these cube designs! Never knew you were a musician! I'll have to google XOX design! The 3d ones are very awesome.

Lovin' your beats Mr.Saarland!

Comment by Noah F. Ross (winty5) 17th june 2013

I ecsepcially liked Funky Orange and Injected Sound.

Comment by Noah F. Ross (winty5) 17th june 2013

@thalamic: Hm, the download should work.
@winty: Thanks, and happy birthday!

Can we make some fs tuts using your spacey synthed-out tracks? :)

Comment by William Leverette (will.i.ૐ) 18th june 2013

Yeah, Injected Sound should be the Official FS Theme Song!

Comment by Noah F. Ross (winty5) 18th june 2013

After all, a good font editor needs a good theme song, doesn't it? If you agree say "Yeah!"

Comment by Noah F. Ross (winty5) 18th june 2013

Wow, I'm impressed.

@Yautja - Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to experience your music. As a fan of synth music, I found it to be very enjoyable, and hope to hear more.
