The majority of the track list is songs that we know have been out for a while, while “Unobsidian“ being available only if you were lucky enough to have the download prior to its release. Then came the offical track list of the album. That’s a LOT of content before an album’s release. This is my honest opinion on the Kx5 album as a major deadmau5 fan.īeing that I’ve kept in the loop for the past 2 and a half years of everything deadmau5 related, I knew what was expected from when Kx5 was offically announced a year ago of them teasing “Escape”.Ī year later, 6 singles have been released prior to the album’s release. i will definitely be buying any physical release they do of it, if they do a physical release, coz i’m a little fanboy who loves some spinny music circles. I have a personal chart/list with how i go about ranking songs/albums, and following it, i give this album a 9/10. to hold onto and evolve a track and finally release it after 22 years is mind blowing to me. Unobsidian is definitely the honorable mention of the album. The tracks that go absolutely hard are Unobsidian and Eat Sleep, which also i’m super happy these got released because now my spotify playlist of the set performed when i saw joel on my birthday now is 100% complete, no missing tracks. it’s just kinda the odd one out if you ask me. it’s not bad by any means, just not really my thing. now that the full album is out, honestly i still feel the same, except for Bright Lights. I’ve 100% enjoyed every single they’ve released along the way, with my favorite being Alive. TLDR: Unobsidian is essentially a remix of a track Rubik/Joel made 22 years ago! Just find that super fascinating considering how much time has passed! IMO, the similarities between Obisidian and Unobsidian are even more close with the original song than the Halcyon441 remix - particularly the rhythm/main synth used. Thankfully the original track by Rubik was finally recovered from a SectionZ archiver & mau5 fan last year, who shared it online here. Rubik, aka Steve Duell, was an active member of the SectionZ online music community, which is where Joel found the song and later posted his remix. The song is technically a remix of "Rubik - Obsidian", released back in 2001. Most of you guys probably remember Obsidian from the "Stuff I Used To Do" compilation in 2017īut it was originally created back in Joel's days as Halcyon441 (one of his early aliases), ultimately released in the "Circa 1998-2002" compilation You may notice some synths/leads were carried over from that track to this. It's essentially an overhauled new version of a SUPER old mau5 track called "Obsidian", hence the name.
