Recording "Distorting Reality for Better Perception" isn't going as smoothly as we planned, but progress is still being made. Here's what we have left to do: 1) Record the music for 4 more tracks. 2) Add vocals to all tracks. 3) Finish up album art work.
See. Not bad at all.
MagiTek recomends Metal Gear Solid 3 if you want to play a good game. Til next time shekkos!

Another recording session went down this week. We hit some snags, so we only got 2 tracks recorded. So now we have 8 tracks awaiting vocals and mastering. We still have many more to record as well. Once it's all recorded though, the rest should be easy. We'll keep you updated.

Good news everybody. MagiTek has finally started recording the new album. As it stands, 6 tracks are recorded. They aren't in their finished forms, but it's a step in the right directions. News should start happening a bit more frequently now. The songs are sounding good. Stay tuned for more freshness.

Well, Hurricane Frances did a number on us, but I think things are getting back to normal. On the bright side, since nothing was open, we got alot of MagiTek work done. We might even be adding a few new tracks last minute. We'll see. Anyway, everyone is safe, although things were quite uncomfortable for a few days. The experience also inspired us a bit. More to come.

Expect an advancement in sound and lyrics on almost every track.
There will also be some internet exclusives coming your way soon too. MagiTek is the Fire.

Hurricane Charley may have put our server down for a day, but it couldn't front on MagiTek. It stayed the hell away from Port Saint Lucie because it sensed Quartz and J's immense power. Even mother nature can't stop the coming of the next MagiTek album.

We did something like this last year, so I guess It's time I give the 2004 State of the MagiTek Address. Things have been kind of uneventful MagiTekwise this year. It's hard making an album when one of your core members is away at college, and the other one is busy with work. So where are we at now?
First, J has finished College and move back to Port Saint Lucie. Second, Quartz has moved into an apartment. These two changes mean that MagiTek will start being more productive again. J will be around, and since Quartz has his apartment, we also have a studio. I know this won't be the first time you've heard this from us, but the album is getting close. It's just a matter of pulling it all together.
I guess I should also mention that the new album will be pretty much all Quartz and J. Having Shadow in the band just wasn't working out. He influenced the new album, but he probably won't be appearing on it.
That's all for now, stay tuned for more updates.

There are 4 new tracks in the download section. We started a web exclusive section so you can hear tracks that didn't quite fit on any album. Speaking of albums, MagiTek's 4th disc "Distorting Reality for Better Perception" will be recorded very soon. As soon as we get more details, we will fill you in right here.
