Not sure how to tag this so we brought you here instead.
If you're already fed up of Lucas and want an uninterrupted listening
experience, then the wait is over.
This is the NON-NARRATED aka WITHOUT VOICE-OVER version some of you have
been waiting for. The narration is merged in track 18 to play for your
respective family members.
Will hopefully see some of you during Ferry Corsten's producer set at
Luminosity Beach Festival 2017 and Gouryella 2.0 in Prague.
Have a lovely summer! :)
"A mysterious message from outer space confounds all of Earth.."
May 2017 marks the arrival of a new album from one of electronic music's
most perennial pioneers. A true labour of love, given his passion for
discovery science and space and time, Ferry Corsten's latest studio
project `Blueprint' has set him on course for his own discovery as a
producer, artist and storyteller. And he wants you to join him on this
journey.
"A message.A Blueprint.to build a life form."
In a voyage to design something that would illuminate beyond just the
dancefloor, Ferry has pieced together a truly remarkable piece of work
in this enthralling concept album that puts focus on a narrative of the
existence of mankind and our desire to reach beyond on our own world,
for love, for curiosity, for the exploration of our existence?
"Creation, love, the search that brings with it either mankind's
destruction or its salvation.?"
Written into the musical code of the album we learn that from the
deepest edges of space, `The Drum' can be heard, endlessly repeating,
without any understanding as to its reason or purpose. None of the
greatest minds on earth or the governmental superpower can decipher its
existence. Except one. As the listener journeys from the opening track
to the last the album chronicles the voyage of Lukas and Vee as a new
world is opened up to not just the mind but the heart. But why did they
send Vee? Is she the first contact or something more nefarious? As Lukas
uncovers the truth, he learns of a far greater truth, one that has grand
implications for all mankind.
"..An android."
Fans can join Ferry Corsten and the boundless creativity of `Blueprint'
by unlocking the world beyond during the pre-order sale. Through sharing
activation on the official `Blueprint' website, fans will access
chapters from this intergalactic voyage and discover the musical message
contained within.
From the opening title track - `Blueprint' - this sci-fi inspired
release synthesizes an interstellar journey wrapped in wonder, love and
the unknown. Through the stories of the album's protagonists Lukas and
Vee, listeners are propelled into a cinematic voyage that is
story-driven by narration, whilst encapsulated in a musical
craftsmanship that will have its audience in awe. From the enchantingly
uplifting tones of Gouryella's `Venera (Vee's Theme)' to the stargazing
splendour of `Edge Of The Skye', featuring HALIENE, Ferry has pieced
together an album that tonally ignites all the right sentiment.
Gravitated by the space odyssey of `A World Beyond' the album is thrust
into a weaving metronomic launch with `Trust', as Blueprint manages to
combine masterful musical strokes of pure brilliance with several
moments of gargantuan seismic textures. The full tracklisting offers
tense, emotive pieces, aligned with industriously rich and strikingly,
grand electronic space jams; `Blueprint' offers the listener an unknown
world to explore whilst undeniably showcasing a vision never before
heard from Ferry Corsten's previous studio output.
This fifth album instalment from Ferry Corsten is his boldest and most
ambitious to date. A conceptual long player that stretches far beyond
its musical foundations and into the galaxy with a futuristic narrative.
`Blueprint' cites references from esteemed authors of the Sci-fi genre
such as Hugo Gernsback and HG Wells, and delves deep into a storyboard
crafted by the minds of David H Miller (of House Of Cards and Rosewood
fame) and Ferry himself, giving the listener a cosmic adventure of truly
interstellar proportion - voiced by Campbell Scott known for Hollywood
box office hits such as The Amazing Spider-Man.

It's been said that "space exploration is a force unto itself", a
statement that can aptly be applied to the experience of music
discovery. A purveyor of a music with that timeless quality, Ferry
Corsten actioned himself into taking his own artist exploration deeper
with his fifth artist album. Entitled `Blueprint' because of his
technical approach to this latest studio outing. This newest longplayer
by the Rotterdam native was spawned from an idea to unite the music with
a storyline that stretches beyond a nebulous lyrical theme. Combining
his love for the art of screenwriting and film score Ferry has crafted
`Blueprint' as a concept release to put a wider perspective on his
musical vision.
Transcending any referential genre, `Blueprint's storyline centres
around two protagonists in Lukas and the extra-terrestrial being Vee.
From a discovery to a bond to consciousness to interdimensional travel,
`Blueprint' embarks on a journey across the galaxy asking many questions
from its listeners.
Encapsulated in the soundtrack is a musical narrative that entwines with
a storyboard crafted by the minds of David H Miller (of House Of Cards
and Rosewood fame) and Ferry himself. The resulting effort gives the
listener a conceptual direction that is breathtakingly beautiful.
Narrated by Hollywood actor Campbell Scott (known for The Amazing
Spider-Man and The Exorcism of Emily Rose), whose voice unravels the
mystery of `Blueprint's storyline.
Written into the musical code of the album we learn that from the
deepest edges of space `The Drum' can be heard, endlessly repeating,
without any understanding as to its reason or purpose. None of the
greatest minds on earth nor governmental superpower can decipher its
existence. Except one. As the listener journeys from the opening track
to the last the album chronicles the voyage of Lukas and Vee as a new
world is opened to not just the mind but the heart.
With its opening title track `Blueprint' the album commences in wondrous
form straddling euphoria and seduction at its heart, as it shoots for
the stars setting up for a cosmic ballet. The atmospherical payoff of
`Venera (Vee's Theme)' is enchantingly uplifting, as listeners have
their first encounter with Vee. The vocal of Eric Lumiere adds depth to
the character's arrival with `Something To Believe In' before `Edge Of
The Skye', featuring Haliene, ignites an odyssey to `A World Beyond'.
The weaving metronomic build of `Trust' is industriously rich and
perfectly poised for this interstellar exploration. Whilst the
otherworldly tones of `Lonely Inside' beam us into the isolation of
Space and renders all meaning beyond one emotion, desire. The sentiment
on Haliene's voice pierces through on the tense `Piece of You' before we
head into the third act and encounter "The Drum" again on `Drum's A
Weapon'. The album majestically concludes with the beautiful combo of
Haliene & Eric Lumiere on `Another Sunrise' and the `Eternity' with its
Shepherd scale-esque splendour.
With the narrative that gives nods to the proses of iconic sci-fi
authors such as Jules Verne, Hugo Gernsback and most distinctively HG
Wells, whilst sharing familiarities with modern day shows such as The
OA, Westworld and retro Sci-fi-fest Stranger Things, `Blueprint' is an
explorative piece of work that puts Sci-fi at its interstellar core. A
brave and unique studio release from one of the most iconic artists in
the electronic scene but Ferry's attempts with `Blueprint' are simply to
bring a wider perspective to the listener, as he aims the album to be
inclusive of dimensions of religion, history, ideals and science
fiction.
