Celldweller: Klayton.
Additional personnel: Kennedy James, Jennifer Neal (vocals); Grant Mohrman (acoustic guitar); Jarrod Montague, Ken Capton (drums); Bobo Shitty Mix, Fluffy Starr.
Recorded at The Method House, Michigan and Celldweller Studio, New York, New York.
The brain behind Celldweller is Klayton (aka Klay Scott, aka Eric Klayton). The producer, songwriter, performer, and musical gypsy has been associated with numerous projects, including the Christian industrial outfits Circle of Dust and Argyle Park. As a producer, Klayton has worked with Prong and is involved with New York-based illusionist Criss Angel. Celldweller derives its name partly from the long hours Klayton spent in his home studio crafting its elaborate, production-heavy cocktail of trance, drum'n'bass, and heavy industrial guitar. The project ranges from the aggressive, X Games-style active rock of "Switchback" to the emotive, melodic "Afraid This Time," which recalls the crystalline style of fellow production whiz kid BT. Klayton's industrial background is evident in his vocals, which alternate between throaty yelling and a half-whisper. The album is strikingly melodic, with hooks galore, even on the overdriven metal of "One Good Reason." And Klayton's obvious debt to Trent Reznor can be forgiven, since it's difficult not to emulate the iconographic musician in a genre that he redefined. However, while Reznor's obsessively produced music still bleeds reality, Celldweller suffers from too much refinement. It's almost as if a rogue ProTools rig conceived and produced the album itself, in some sort of nightmare combination of 2001 and Demond Seed. Klayton's humanity barely registers behind elaborate vocal processing, lush beds of trance-y keyboards, and rarefied edges on Celldweller's towering walls of guitar. ~ Johnny Loftus Celldweller Songs | 1. | Untitled | |

Celldweller Music Review Average Rating: (4.9 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Switchback!
I bought this CD because of Switchback, and of course love the hell out of that song. But there are a bunch of other really nice tracks that I'd recommend. I'm very much into the harder, faster stuff,so there are a few slow tracks that I constantly skip. ^_^ But regardless of those few minor hiccups, this is a stellar album. I highly recommend it.

celldweller shines
At long last, the artist formerly known as Circle of Dust releases his eagerly anticipated debut as Celldweller. Klayton, as he is called, has done some of his best production and collaborative work as Celldweller and now produces his best work period. No, this is not a Resnor, or Manson, or Rammstein clone. This is an original artist displaying his finest work. The album is layered, smooth, aggressive and brilliant. A must buy for any aggro music fan.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Well worth the purchase
Many might disagree with me, but I'd put these into the Industrial category. This is simply because of the unique blend of, to all extent and purposes, metal and techno in places.
However, this truly is a masterpiece, as every track seems to be unique in it's own way.
Take a listen and I'm sure you'll agree.

Dr. Feelgood and Stiff Records seem like the perfect match. Under the direction of Lee Brilleaux, Dr. Feelgood was perhaps the key band to push pub rock toward punk, thanks to their hard-driving, relentless rock & roll, coupled with their love of reckless rock & roll and drunken pranks, Stiff was the label that bridged pub and punk. Of course, this describes Dr. Feelgood and Stiff Records in the mid-'70s, when they were both at the beginning of their stories, but they didn't team up then: they teamed up a decade later, when Stiff was on the decline and Dr. Feelgood had metamorphosed from a tough group of rock & roll revivalists to genuine working band, soldiering on through shifts in the lineup and shifts in mainstream tastes, so they were kind of forgotten by the public at large. In other words, neither party was at their peak, so the music captured on Grand's 2005 double-disc set The Complete Stiff Recordings is not exactly what fans of either pub or punk would have in mind from merely reading the title. This is not raw, raucous, rock & roll; this is an old-fashioned band that is valiantly trying to swim with the tides of the '80s, so that means they've brought in drum machines, ratcheted up the synths and tried to sound modern even if they'd much rather be covering Johnny Cash's "Get Rhythm" and Bobby Charles' "See You Later Alligator," which they do here. Dr. Feelgood did have sympathetic producers for their two albums for Stiff -- Will Birch produced the 1986 Brilleaux LP, Dave Edmunds helmed the 1986 single of "See You Later Alligator," Pip Williams produced 1987's Classic -- but everybody involved is trying to sound like the times, sometimes for better (Birch pulls off an effective slice of synth-soul on "Don't Wait Up"), sometime for worse (complete with canned synth-horns, "Alligator" is truly ghastly).
Of the two albums, Brilleaux's is the stronger effort, largely because Birch does keep the focus on the band, never succumbing to the robotic pulse that plagued Jeff Lynne's '80s productions of Dave Edmunds, or the work that Edmunds does with Feelgood here. If that's the nadir of new wave oldies rock, Williams' work on Classic falls somewhere between the two extremes, never sounding as misdirected as the Lynne/Edmunds axis but sounding far bigger and slicker than Birch's work, as if this was intended to sit next to Brothers in Arms on the charts when Feelgood would have been better served with something simpler. And Classic is really overblown: at its worst, the cavernous drums are pushed to the front and are dressed with clunky synths, and this makes such an impression, it's easy to forget that there are some cuts here that either play up the band's interaction well or actually use the sound to its advantage, as on the lively, Nick Lowe-esque ...
| | Big Distraction Avoidance Behaviors CD (2005)
Celldweller
$9.35
The 3 young men of The Big Distraction have been jamming together since they first picked up their instruments in Pawtucket, Rhode Island (Think "The Family Guy"). After being in many other projects separately, they formed The Big Distraction and began playing out in 2005 to a growing fan base. They've been playing shows in the New England area from Providence (Giza, The Call, The Century, The Blackstone), to Boston (the Middle East, Bill's Bar), to New York (CBGB's ). This interesting three piece creates music that has been described as jam&prog infused classic rock. They like bringing rock back to roots with tube amp driven guitar melodies, unpolished 70's rock approach to recording, strong melodic vocals, and jamming live shows. They've been known to WHIP OUT off the cuff covers of classic NINTENDO Muisc, and great MOVIE Sountracks such as WONKA during their energetic performances.They grew up listening to Crazy and Diverse influences- bands such as Rush, The Police, Phish, Prince,The Allman Brothers, Mike Patton,Grand ...
