Happy Christmas / Saturnalia everyone.
http://voivod.net/NewsFlash1.swf

I didn't notice this linked here. It shows Away's new skills in Flash animation.
No new music though, other than ambient burbling, like on 'Phobos'. So, maybe the new album will be as good as Phobos?

Away's obviously still obsessed with ants, which has to be a good sign for the world of Heavy Metal too?

Actually, as I only have myself to talk to this Boxing Day morning, while my girlfriend has a bath and I discover "Be Bop Deluxe" twenty years too late...

How cool would it be to actually have a 'vod album stuffed with Away's gfx. Finally!
That last LP was precede by many little B&W drawings and doodles, which got me really excited by the idea of a 'multimedia' Voivod release. But it din't really happen, did it?

What better than "flash" to get ideas down
quickly?

I am already loving this shit.

Away keeps amaizing me with his art.

"Voivod are in pre-production" does this mean it will take some weeks to get to pressing the album and shipping it across to the world?

And do the summer festivals in Europa /?????

Pre-production means preparing for the real recording if I remember it right. You were too optimistic I guess...

Yup - pre-production is basically jamming the songs out, trying different ideas and seeing what sticks and what's shit.

The Nothingface demos on this site (of they're still there) are an excellent example of how a band evolves songs from raw ideas to the finished product. Some of the lyrics are different, some of the drum rolls are a little 'jazz-time' and theres the odd half-baked solo. The bass is spot on, though!

Crap, I only get the initial screen and the title text after pushing the button, then just a blank screen and silence. I've got Flash, so I don't know what gives....

You have to be patient, I guess?

The best way to go it is to right click on the link and choose "save target as".

Open up My Computer, go to the Tools menu, then Folder Options. There should be a tab called File Types. It'll probably take a few seonds to load, but once it loads the list of file types scroll down to the J's and change JPE, JPEG, and JPG so they all open with IE if that's what you prefer. Click on each file type (just once to highlight it, not a double-click) and the details will show in the bottom half of the window. There should be a Change button - click that and select the program you want as the default for that file type.

ummm.....I got nothin' today :-(

It kinda bums me out that I haven't even bothered trying to watch this. Never imagined I'd be apathetic about Voivod.

Maybe I need to start www.voivodnostalgists.com.

When you open My Computer (double-click, not right-click), at the very top there should be File, Edit, View, Favorites, Tools, and Help. Click Tools and it'll pop down a short list. Folder Options is at the bottom of that list. You don't have a Tools menu?

Hmf. What operating system do you use? I'm assuming you've got Windows something since you use Internet Explorer. Try this: click Start, go up to Settings, then Control Panel. There should be a Folder Options icon in there. (If you've got Windows XP, make sure you're in Classic View, not Category View - Category View sucks, it's a pain in the ass to find anything.) Open the Folder Options (double-click it), and the File Types tab should be there.

This thread is going nowhere fast.

Strange, my 14 month old son seems to think this flash animation is the greatest thing since Teletubbies. He laughs hysterically everytime I play it for him (like 20 times now)

Maybe Away should ask Helldriver for a few tips?

Have you tried rebooting? If your computer no longer recognizes .jpg's as a file type, your problem is deeper than I can handle. No idea, sorry.
