UK's Sphere Magazine says...
"Android Lust is without question one of the world's most fascinating, innovate and disturbing Industrial acts. While there is a strong live presence incorporating a full band, the music is the work of Shikhee — since 1997 this artist has created some truly chilling and evocative sounds that act as the ultimate sound track to inner turmoil and the sonic embodiment of a person's dark side."
Read full reviewOur friends from Black Tape for a Blue Girl asked us to play a few acoustic numbers at the release party of their new CD "10 Neurotics". We said yes!
It's been fun and a bit challenging to translate some of the songs to this format. We're looking forward to playing them for you!
Venue: The Delancey 168 Delancey St., NYC
Date: 12/7/09
Time: 8:30pm
Admission: Free
Age: 21+
Steve from Razorblade Society chats with Shikhee about the new album in the works, Resolution box set, and the malaise of social media.
We've realized that there's been an error in the pressing of the bonus disc “Rarities, Demos and B-Sides” for the Resolution box set.
Track 11 “Burnt" is attached to Track 10 “Prisoner”, and not with its own cue point, as it should have been. This sucks. However, good news is that the track is still there!
Track 10 shows up as being 6 mins 45 secs long, which is the combined length of “Prisoner” and “Burnt”. “Burnt” starts exactly at 3:23, so when you rip it to your iPod, you can just rip the track separately.
Here's a quick tutorial using iTunes:
1. Check Track 10
2. Get info on the track
3. Click the “Options” tab
4. For “Prisoner”, check end time as 3:22 and then rip
5. For “Burnt”, check start time as 3:23 and then rip again

Go to box set order pageWelcome to newly redesigned AndroidLust.com! I am very excited to launch this site after months of work.
A good portion of the content is now feed driven so it'll be a lot easier to keep everything updated. Also, we now have our own digital store, where you can preview songs in their entirety, and purchase songs/albums straight from us!
The music page has been updated as well with samples from almost every AL song I've ever released.
This site also serves as a hub for all of our social media presence around the web.
Lastly, HUGE thanks go out to Christopher Jon (iparasite.net) and Melyssa Anishnabie (fragilemuse.org) for their development and design help! This site wouldn't be here without their diligent efforts.

After months of prep work, the box set is almost ready. Everything is off to the plant, and pre-orders start on Sept 29th!
This set will be limited to 250 units and available exclusively through this site. Pre-orders will ship with autographed posters.
The 3rd disc contains some very old tracks, demos, and even some pre-AL tracks. I really enjoyed putting it together. Although a few years ago I would never consider playing these for anyone, I now feel quite differently. It reflects the journey I've been on, and if nothing, it will give you an insight into the growth of a songwriter/producer.
I hope you enjoy it!
A limited edition triple-disc box set for Resolution is set to be released on October 20th! The set will include the currently out-of-print versions of Resolution, Evolution, and a 3rd disc containing demos and b-sides from that era, and some even older tracks. Along with the CDs there will be a poster, postcards featuring unpublished photos, T-shirt, and other goodies exclusive to the collection.
The box set will be available only through androidlust.com, and will be limited to 250 units.
Here's a short video of the mastering session for the bonus disc on July 27th!
Android Lust app for iPhone/iPod Touch is live at the iTunes store! The app has music with links to iTunes, videos, blogs, bulletins, and also Twitter posts. It's very cool!
If we have the opportunity to do apps for other devices, we'll certainly look into it. But for now, the AL app is only for the iPhone. Download it, rate it, tell your friends!
I've put a new video of recording guitars with James, and bass and drum rehearsals with Bret and Steve for "Into the Sun".
By now a lot of you are aware of the NCIS soundtrack. I decided to have a some fun and have a trivia contest at Twitter. The first person to @reply to me with the correct answer will win a copy of the NCIS soundtrack CD courtesy of CBS Records.
Second question will be posted tonight at 8pm EST. http://twitter.com/androidlust

I've had a disc with a 42 minute behind-the-scenes documentary about the making-of the "Stained" music video just sitting on the shelf for the past few years! So I've decided to put it online and share with you. It's a huge file, so we're putting up chunks at a time. Episode 1 is now up on vimeo. Enjoy!
