Track List Reveal for Steam Powered Giraffe: The Vice Quadrant: A Space Opera
Track #8 - Fire Fire Written by David Michael Bennett
“Oh it’s such a shame, of all the things to go wrong while out in space”
*deep breath*
*earsplitting fangirl scream*
It’s happening It’s real
Remember when we thought it was gonna be on MKIII and it wasn’t and at first they didn’t tell us why and we had to get to the end of that album to find out? I’m so happy it’s finally come to this!
This seems like a good time to remind folks of a pretty controversial subject.
Whether or not to pay for the art we create.
We have an album coming up soon, and we’re excited for you to get your hands on it. But, we also need people to buy it. Otherwise, well. We can’t do what we do. :)
The Vice Quadrant is 28 tracks, and just a few seconds short of 2 hours long. It is a two disc Opera in two acts. :) Now, I know the price for this guy is more than our other albums. But that’s because it’s essentially two albums. It took twice as long. But we also realize some of our fans might not be able to allocate the funds for it, so…
I just got asked a brilliant question about the physical CD pre-orders on my tumblr and I thought I’d make a public post with the answer. :)
When will The Vice Quadrant Pre-orders ship?
Due to our small size and operation, we have no way of controlling the arrival date of packages. There is no way for us to hold deliveries until September 1st…
SO WE WON’T!
We will be shipping off pre-orders in the order they were placed…so if you ordered early, it will ship earlier!
BUT we aren’t waiting until the 1st to start shipping.
We have far too many pre-orders to do that, and we want to make sure the majority of people get their CDs by the 1st.
What this means is that some folks will undoubtedly get their Vice Quadrant albums early.
We won’t be holding off shipping at all, so if we have the albums arrive to our warehouse (aka my apartment) early and we’ve got the pre-order bonus buttons and autographs done for those who ordered before July…we will ship them out.
Some could receive their albums as early as a week before release!
And that’s cool.
I’ll let you all know when we start shipping them off on the social streams and you can eagerly await a shipping confirmation email…and then track your album shipment right to your door ;)
International pre-orders will take longer to arrive, but since we are getting a head start, hopefully they will arrive close to September 1st.
If you want to make sure you are listening to the album on September 1st, feel free to double your support and pre-order the digital copy too next week. Digital will be live September 1st!
So most of us (if not all) already know about the ten thousand conspiracy theories the fandom has been coming up with lately. I for one would like to see more of other people’s contributions to the theories without scrolling through pages and pages of the “#vice quadrant” tag. So what I propose is that we use the tag “#spg illuminati confirmed” for our conspiracy theories. I have to credit singing-circuitry for the idea, since they came up with it while in a conversation with me.
If we use this tag, we can keep the fandom’s theories and findings in order and finally have a place for everyone’s discoveries to be put together. I hope maybe this idea can catch on and soon everyone will start using this tag.
Since I’m not a very popular blog myself and can’t change a lot of things, I’m gonna tag some more well-known spg blogs in hopes that they’ll reblog this and get the word out. (I hope you guys don’t mind!)
