In Boston at Berklee

Track released in April 2011 by BT. It is with exceptional pleasure I share this gift back with you. Thank you ALL so much for making a donation to Japanese relief efforts. As individuals we can do little, together we can do much. Thank you for supporting this worthy cause. Blessings to you, _BT ps: there is a marker for 3 minutes at the end of the track. It is not just silence, it is there for a reason.

The title says it all.. Let’s get started. ..::Buy Here::.. Enter rainbow text:

1. The Music – who buys an album and doesn’t want to hear the music? Right… Well this album took 4 years to make. I can’t remember the last time I put 4 years into 1 project…maybe learning how to get the hell out of highschool?

2. BT cares about his fans - Okay, so a lot of producers “care” about their fans. BT shows the hell out of it though. He’s always taking videos for his fans to keep them updated, talking to them on twitter, and this makes him come across as more down to Earth. His Washington, DC show was cancelled due to snow. So what did he do? We all know a few producers out there that can’t be arsed to talk to the people that support them, and are their biggest customers (their fans). BT can’t be arsed to NOT talk to his fans.

3. BT is a – badass/genius/dude/G/thug4lyfe (what?). BT Makes 50 Cent look like … 25 cent?

4. The artwork - Aaron Jasinski did the artwork for the album. But if you think the cover of BT’s face and some roses is all there is, you’re dead wrong. This beast is an 8 FT TALL oil painting.. Eight feet?! Holy bikini batman. You’ll have to buy the album to see it in detail (or here for a peek), but check out Jasinski’s site.. pretty wicked.

5. BT’s XBOX Live gamertag – is “BTLikesYourMom” – If this isn’t reason enough, then you should give up. Maybe i’ll move this to #1.

6.  Kaia – Kaia is BT’s  6 year old daughter, and as far as we know, the last song on CD1 (Forget Me) has Kaia singing the  chorus of the song… When we first listened to it (My whole family [mom, brother, me] listened to this album 3 times through in 1 sitting… shiiiiiiii…! yes it’s that good) we both stopped and went… “Wha? is that really?” It was the most amazing thing we’ve heard and it stopped us in our tracks. BT has been through a lot with his daughter Kaia and it’s amazing to hear this.

7. BT Feels – BT himself said, “This is the first album that I’ve made where I look at it and feelscomplete… like truly complete… both the music and the art.” When BT, the same guy that said ”I frequently face the fact that the tools I need to compose music simply don’t exist.“, says “this is the first complete album I’ve made”, you’d better buy the album, cause its going to be rock’n’sockin.

8. It’s 2 hours – and you will sit there with your mouth open the entire time asking yourself if this ismusic, or some sort of euphoric vision from Zeus himself.

9. Lasting Power – When you’re not home, it’s pure torture… Why? Because the entire time you’ll be counting the minutes until you can get back into your car, or get back home to your home sound system, and blast the crap out of this album. Don’t go and download the torrent for this album, and don’t send us links for the torrents to post up on our site. This is an album that you need to hold. This album will last you for years to come, and you will actually feel like a better person for spending money on it.

10. It took us 3 hours to write a list that we already had an outline for, because we we’re distracted by “These Hopeful Machines”

This album gets a 5/5 Stars from Trance Daily. Put a night aside, sit down with a friend, and let yourself go.
