This album's one of a very few that helped get me through so many textbook chapters, math problem sets, coding projects, and skate sessions. From broke student $30k in debt to software developer owning a home... thanks so much for making such a replayable album and all the years of inspiring jams! Cheers!

This and the "I" collaboration with Plini are what got me into your music in the first place. So exciting!

I knew the titles were about physical phenomena, but it took me reading the Xeelee Sequence to understand you were literally narrating the entire Big Bang creation of the universe model up to the formation of Earth, in a strange twist of fate now I can hear the album while reading how the Monads kickstarted reality and the subsequent events, for those who don't know: Invent the Universe: The very first instant where space and time appears Grand Unification: In this epoch Strong Nuclear Force, Weak Nuclear Force and Electromagnetism haven't divided yet Expansion: Space and Time suddenly grow exponentially Baryogenesis: Somehow the universe generates more matter than antimatter, which in turn denies complete annihilation Particles collide: The essential subatomic particles start to coalesce, up until this point not even a second of existence has come to pass Nucleosynthesis: With atoms finally possible the opportunity for elements other than hydrogen, the most basic of atoms, becomes a reality Recombination: Atoms and even molecules start to appear, with them the fundamental blocks of construction are there, it only takes a bit more that a third of a million years Dark Ages: At this point the universe as we know it start to take form but since there are no stars yet there are no major sources of light, the universe is a cloud of elemental matter. Formation: Stellar phenomena appears, stars are born illuminating creation, they die liberating new elements and components which allow the emergence of planets Pale Blue Dot: With the laws set, the elements available and the forces in motion Earth is formed and evolves into a rocky watered planet capable to sustain life as we know it. On an interesting twist of the tale the author of the Xeelee Sequence (who actually takes Hard Science Fiction writing seriously) proposed that life could have existed right from the very first instant space and time were born, after all, life is a self-replicating, energy consuming system, you don't even need molecules for such a thing to exist, the structure of space and time can be more than enough, indeed for a creature of the Grand Unification Epoch our universe would have feel absurdly cold and slow just as for us their age would have been hellishly hot and fast, but that's how perspective works.

Every time I went stargazing in the last 7 years, this album was the soundtrack on the road to the astronomical observatory. Pale blue dot was the first song I heard (I don't remember the exact occasion), and it blew my mind from the first note, as then the entire album did. This is not only a virtuoso sharing his unreal skills at guitar, as much as this does not contain all the overheard clichés of djent. The beauty and the complexity of the composition, the perfect tone of every instrument, the spacey armospheres it conveys from the first tonthe last second thank to a well-studied mix and mastering (and last but not least, THE LICK!): these are some of the factors which make this album so astonishng, so well-crafted I am so happy and grateful to have had the opportunity to discover this and even to buy the physical version of this album. After having listened to this 10th anniversary remix, which made me discover even more depth than i I could have imagined before (can you believe that?), the only thing that I can say is that I'd love to hear this on a physical support (edit: I just saw that is in preorder, so I bought it. I'm even happier than before :D). Even if I also liked "Cassini", "Invent the Universe" is probably in my top 10 releases of all the time, and I guess it'll always remain there! This is pure gold. Thanks Sithu Aye for this epic voyage through the vastness of the Universe!

I love how the transition from track 1 to track 2 is smooth now.

Pale Blue Dot has to be one of my all-time favorite songs. I've listened to it probably 100 times and still get goosebumps around the 43:15 mark and then again at 44:22.

P.S. gotta send a thank you out to the cool ass guy who had your music playing inside of a CEX years ago, which was how I heard you. If you're seeing this I love you bro

I remember finding this back when I went down the prog/instrumental rabbit hole. Listened to it while I road my bike to work. Great times

Re:Re:Invent

god damn sithu, I'm a big fan of your music, top 0,05% on Spotify, and i have to say that this album made me fell in love with your art back in the day. Your unique form to do music is so special, I like the spark of imagination and the ways you choose to do your music, and I love it. Once again, thank you for blessing us with this remaster, i really appreciate this song even more. Thank you. Come to Chile someday and I assure you that i will be there.

I remember when this came out originally, super hyped on how it sounds now

I was studying my engineering career when this came out, thank you so much Sithu for those hypes when I was on the bus way to the university.

Drums sound is amazing

Particles Collide still sounds so thick all these years later. Love this album!

This album means a great deal to me, thank you so much for putting in the time and effort to give us this gift a 2nd time. ♥

Honestly felt like the only one in the world who appreciates this genre so much thank you Sithu Aye your music really has made its mark in my life 🥲

I haven’t even heard this and I know I’m gonna be bumping this so hard the rest of the year. Sithu never ever disappoints.

The fans are supposed to pay you for your amazing music. I think you just payed us back with this remaster. I can hear everything!!! The original was incredible but now...now it's like looking at the original master from a telescope and looking at the REmaster under a microscope. I will definitely be purchasing this as a humble token of my appreciation. How on earth did you make a masterpiece sound so much better? Keep the music alive!

Way cool. I just came across your music and I like it so far. I have been playing drums my entire life and wish I could find just one musician who can play like this.

It is one of the rare moments where I put on notifications in KZfaq. Your works has accompanied me all these years on frequent basis. It is a great and outstanding work

After 10 years, it’s a still BANGER🔥

Absolute Masterpiece! My favorite album that you have come out with

one of my favorite progressive albums ever, thanks Sithu !!

Still one of the most creative and powerful prog metal albums of this century. See you in another 10 years to reaffirm this statement. :D

loved this album for years, thank you sithu

thankyou fav album!

WE WANT A PLAYTHROUGH OF SOLSTICE!!!

Amazing! Still my favorite album from you! On my way to purchase this one right now! If I'm correct, when this originally released the drums were programmed? The new drums make it sound so fucking heavy. Love it!

LFG

YES YES YES😈

I wish I could pan between Invent and Re:invent to hear the differences in real time. I've tried my best to sync up a Spotify play of Invent to this video and best I can get is a slightly "doubled" sync which doesn't sound that terrible, slightly metallic sounding.

The Bends Ⓜ️etal Sickness, 235th day underground god forsaken motherland of mass death madness.

please release on vinyl

Me gusta la original y esta versión me gusta mas como si fuera una Soundtrack de un Videojuego al iniciar el menu las 3 primera cansiones n_n I like the original and I like this version more as if it were a Soundtrack of a Video Game when starting the menu the first 3 songs n_n

Why does this have to be uploaded at midnight? Damn

please please please release on Apple Music

Sorry for the question, who is the drummer?

This guitarist doesnt use adderall, not at all. 😮

This is one of the best djent album ever... And it was made by a weeb

Notice me Senpai!

🎶 ᵖʳᵒᵐᵒˢᵐ

From the cover I'm expecting a full synthwave remaster and if it isn't I unsubscribe.

To crisp and missing that rawness thats gone. Things definitely sound programmed especially the drums. Which i know they are. Probably my least favorite thing here
