A looooooong time ago (almost 2 yrs ago), i got a devy newsletterthat said he did a song/solo for a compilation CD for Carpe Diem Records. it said it was his most manic and complicated solo he's EVER done. well, i cant find any info on the record company's site or anywhere on the net. does anyone know if this was ever put into circulation?

I also always wondered about this, but there has been no word from anyone about it. Although, maybe I'm crazy, but did I read on here at one point that Nerd Alert actually became Ziltoidia Attaxx? It would make sense...it has a complicated solo, and on top of that, Capt. Spectacular wants to out Ziltoid as a nerd at the song's end. Then again, maybe thats just a coincidence and Nerd Alert is still chillin' on some guy's desk at Magna Carta.

Nothing official, just speculation. Personally I think it turned into "Spinning Backwards" on the Terror Syndrome record.

interesting connection between "nerd alert" and "ziltiod"...its a possibility. although i think timewise, he recorded the nerd alert thing after he was well into Ziltiod. plus, i dont think you can record for a record and then say, "hey, i changed my mind. i wanna use it for myself". i could be wrong though.

Cant wait, sounds like it will be a really good record! Dev will probably own it

Great names (Between The Buried And Me, Daath, Dev), I hope it gets a release in Europe too.
The cover is horrible though.

I don't know how long I searched for this song on the net.... too long i spose but am still very eager to hear it, just glad the 'employees' at Magna Carta records have got their shit together i spose, bring on the alerted Nerd! (Thats Dev right....?)
And your right, the cover art definately needs changing, so many bands get artwork wrong these days, I for one appreciate good art and Dev's albums have sported some of my faves, just look at Synchestra/Ocean Machine/Ziltoid

All a matter of how you look at it... Different forms of art desire different attention =) I think it looks good.
