I’ll admit, Deadmau5’s latest album, 4×4=12, wasn’t exactly my favorite mix of songs. Sure, it had some nice tracks (“Some Chords,” “Right This Second”), but it doesn’t come close to some of his other mixes or previous albums. It just felt a bit disjointed and not quite memorable.
Fortunately, his new song, “HR 8938 Cephei,” is pure awesome. It has a more “traditional” electronica trance-y feel, eliciting visions of a journey through space. (Which makes sense, given that the title of the track is the name of a distant star.)
Best listened to while driving at night or on a rainy day or when you just need some music to get you through the workday. Clocking in at just under 11 minutes, it’s an epic soundtrack for when you have to just do shit.
