This was created by merging together the original vocal and orchestral lines from the end of Born Into Steam with a special unfiltered version to give more bass. Extra octave features were enabled in Paulstretch to give the sound more depth.

The new Achenar EP, Super Death Explosion Kittens has been released. Head on over to the release page to stream the entire EP, view artwork, download mp3s and buy the CD or digital download.

Additionally, you can buy CD versions of All Will Change & SDEK together for only £9.99, which is 30% off and includes free shipping.

Releases are now also available on Bandcamp, where they are the cheapest to download (SDEK is just £2.99), come with artwork and are also available in a wide variety of formats, including the lossless FLAC.

The Achenar album, All Will Change is now available via the online music streaming service, Grooveshark. All future releases will also be made available through Grooveshark as they are released.

The Achenar album, All Will Change is now available via the online music streaming service, Spotify. All future releases will also be made available through Spotify as they are released.
