I was making a post in my Last.FM journal about Synchestra, and I noticed we do have a lot of information, but it's scattered all over the place. A lot of threads and posts offering a little bit of info. So I decided to put it all together and make it a new topic. So here we go, this is about as far as I got:

v. 1.14:

* Album title: Synchestra
* Possible Release dates: January 27, 2006, January 30, 2006 or 2nd Febuary, 2006
* 14 tracks, song titles (in order):
01. Let it Roll (2:52)
02. Hypergeek (2:20)
03. Triumph (7:08)
04. Baby song (5:30)
05. Vampolka (1:36)
06. Vampira (3:27)
07. Mental Tan (2:15)
08. Gaia (6:03)
09. Pixillate (8:17)
10. Judgement (5:55)
11. A Simple Lullaby (7:09)
12. Sunset (2:31)
13. Notes From Africa (7:42)
14. Sunshine and Happiness (Hidden Track) (2:35)
* Steve Vai plays a wicked solo on Triumph
* Special edition with DVD will be released. Possible DVD contents: Concert filmed in studio, ~70 minute (or 57 minute) long 'best-of' set recorded in 2004, Funny video clips by Beavis, Official videos (Life, Christeen, Storm)
* Vampira will probably get a video, and might be available for online streaming before the album release
* Cover artwork (by Geoff Rousselot):
Image
* ~65 minutes long
* Other artwork (Special Edition): 16 page booklet and 6 inlay digipack
* The booklet will contain lyrics
* Beavis' funny video might be cancelled, due to an accident involving computers, liquor and mysteriously crashed harddrives. UPDATE: The video has been recovered from the harddrive and Beavis continued working on it.
* HDR will have the regular version without DVD from january 20th. When they will have the special edition with DVD is still a mistery.
* Vampira will be the first single. A video has been shot and it will appear on metal and college radio Janurai 30.
* DVD setlist:
Truth
Regulator
Storm
Earth Day
Life
Deadhead
Away/Deep Peace
Slow Me Down



If I have missed things, you have more songtitles, additional info, please post and I'll add them to the list!
Whenever I update, I'll change the version number at the top, and add the extra point at the bottom (unless it's a songtitle).

Nice little collection there Biert. So apparently its like a musical movie, I wonder is it a concept album?

Well, I've got a copy I made of the tracklist which has some songs you didn't include in yours. These are; Chix, Pixelate, Nailbroth, The Baby Song. Have these since been cut? Or did you just not know about them?

They have not been cut, I just didn't know all of them. In what order are the tracks listed?

For your info......

Nailbroth is Gaia. Dev decided to change the name a while ago, so no more Nailbroth only Gaia. I'll help you out with one bit....the song's, but that is it, the rest has to wait till the album comes out. I can't really get in trouble for this since you have the entire list of song's already, so here is the proper order to help you out....

In the correct album order.....

Let it Roll
Hypergeek
Triumph
Baby Song
Vampira
Mental Tan
Gaia
Pixelate
Judgement
A Simple Lullaby
Chix
Notes From Africa
Sunshine and Happiness**
(Hidden Track as Tracy has already revealed !)

Enjoy and fantasize till it comes out :wink: :lol:

I can't wait until my Synchestra shirt arrives!

Anyone in the band want to elaborate on the artwork? From the cover it's looking very, very Terria-like.
