[edit] Propane Nightmares

I think there should be a mention of their remix of Pendulum's Propane Nightmares from In Silico Limited Edition. -HobbesDS —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.158.117.220 (talk) 01:42, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Last Firstborn

The song 'The Last Firstborn'-- could it be labeled as Electronic/Industrial Metal? Or Just Electronic/Metal? --68.111.94.78

the format of the track is industrial rock but that incorporates newer genres such as metalcore, psytrance and progressive trance. overall, i'd still call it 'industrial rock' but if i was speaking with someone who knows what industrial rock actually is then i'd say it's 'newer industrial rock, akin to zeromancer' --MilkMiruku 12:49, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
I would still call it Progressive Rock, in my opinion Celldweller is still very similar to Zeromancer. Names like Metalcore are better to bands like Ministry. At the other hand I hate making new music genres... So I don't like words like Psytrance or whatever. Michu Neo, --87.205.34.183 13:06, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Most reviews and the like that I've seen label it as an industrial/trance hybrid. I wouldn't say that any of the genres listed above are incorrect, but for the sake of brevity I'd probably go for encompassing genres. NorseOdin 18:27, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Eyris

so what exactly is an 'eyris'? googling it only gives a model of tannoy speakers. --MilkMiruku 12:49, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

I would wager that it is an alternative/pretentious approach to spelling the word "iris". 63.233.13.39 23:53, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
hehe, probably, but why is it mentioned if no-one knows what it means? --MilkMiruku 01:55, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
this is a device which projects a funky blue light and registers how far away your hand is from the unit. as you move your hand towards/away from it, it sends a message to change the sound coming from (presumably) an attached keyboard or sampler). see http://sadchild.cjb.net/celldweller/wikipedia/eyris.jpg -sadchild 05:17, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
perhaps it is a Theremin (or a variant of the device)? -sadchild 20:57, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Random points

Four band members are mentioned in the touring band discussion but only 3 listed as band members

The DVD single to Switchback isn't mentioned.

Klayton has also been working with Criss Angel - which is not mentioned and could cause more delays to the second Celldweller disc.

The new Switchback/Own Little World Remix EP isn't mentioned in the discography.

Someone has removed some of the external links, including the one to Klay's MySpace.

Should there be a section about the extensive activity of Celldweller within the remix community? (e.g. the remix competitions)

[edit] Misc

March 2007 is apparently 'month of the wikipedia jackasses'. Going through the history of stupid edits could make a grown man cry

[edit] Comparison

Celldweller's style could be described as Depeche Mode, Linkin Park, Atreyu and Andy Hunter° combined.

Is this really relevant? These bands are drastically different from Celldweller and I think it would be more concise to simply mention the similarity to Linkin Park and Nine Inch Nails. Any reply would be appreciated. Elsebroke 10:53, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

We should take out the "Recommended if you like..." comparison entirely unless it is reliably sourced. Klayton's work is quite hard to classify. It's like looking at Last.FM's page on Anathallo and determining what they sound like based on what else their listeners listen to. --Idont Havaname (Talk) 03:02, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
