record that redefined crossover music for the 21st century
winning The Algorithm the ‘Best Underground Act’ award at the
Metal Hammer Golden Gods and creating huge demand for worldwide
touring. Mastermind Remi Gallego and prodigious young drummer
Mike Malyan (of Monuments fame) have gone on to destroy venues
and stages across the globe…

bio : |
The Algorithm is Rémi Gallego, an electronic music composer
from Toulouse, Midi-Pyrénées, France. Born October 7, 1989,
he began releasing music under this name in 2009 following the
dissolution of his former band Dying Breath. It's a fusion of
several styles of electronic music with progressive metal,
mathcore, and djent. For live performances, he uses an
Akai APC40, a MIDI controller produced by the company Akai,
co-developed with the German company Ableton, connected to
a laptop running Ableton Live. He initially sought to form a
mathcore band, taking inspiration from The Dillinger Escape Plan,
but after a futile search for band members, with the help of
his guitar and a digital audio workstation, he began producing
his own music. The debut Algorithm releases were the demos The
Doppler Effect and CRITICAL.ERROR, released for free via his
own website in December 2009 and July 2010 respectively. In
October 2011 he appeared at the Euroblast Festival in Cologne
alongside bands such as Textures, TesseracT, and Vildhjarta. A
month later Mike Malyan, the drummer of Monuments, uploaded a
drum cover of Isometry to YouTube. After seeing this, Gallego
was convinced that it would be possible to play his songs on
a real drum kit and Malyan became his live drummer. Gallego
stated, Before he put his Isometry drum cover online, one
year ago, I had no idea that someone could ever play my drum
programmings with such dedication, musicality and tightness. He
was really thrilled to play live with me and so we decided
to make it happen. I can’t be more happy to work with such
a great friend/musician. In the same month, The Algorithm
signed to British label Basick Records. In January 2012, The
Algorithm released the digital single Tr0jans. It was followed by
appearances in festivals such as Djentival in Karlsruhe, Germany,
as well as the UK Tech-Metal Fest held in Alton. On November 19,
2012, the debut album Polymorphic Code was released. On June 17,
2013 The Algorithm received a Metal Hammer Golden God award
as best underground artist, decided by Metal Hammer readers'
votes. The Algorithm released its second album, OCTOPUS4, on June
2, 2014. The track _MOS is the first ever collaboration between
Mike Malyan and Rémi Gallego on an album and is, according
to Gallego, the result of a mutual love for old-school C64
sounds.

Hi chaps! This is the new retrofuturistic "back to the future"
obso-leet AMOK nfo hybridising oldskool ASCII art and YAML.
As a possible first in the scene (is it really?), we provide an nfo
that is designed to be both human and machine readable.
It is not so interesting for the average joe ripper listener but it
will be a useful tool for siteops, nukers, dupedb and archives
curators.
Why this?
Because we need a structure that can support metadata and UTF8.
As years pass, dirnames are getting stuffed with more and more
metadata. It is impossible to parse 100% reliably because dirnames
are just not designed to be storage for heterogenous metadata.
With id3v2, vorbis and .yml.nfo files, we can fix this problem,
we can have a more reliable dupechecking, automate common tasks,
filter and sort releases based on different metadata, such as
label and have more useful subgenres e.g. acid techno, deep house,
djent...
With .yml.nfo, you do not need read access to the media files and
id3 metadata, you can automate mandatory fields checks (eg. source
codec, purchase url)
nfo files supporting the yaml format should have the extension
.yml.nfo
e.g. 00-alice-bob-cd-2018.yml.nfo
The schema_version tag allows that nfo format to evolve and stay
compatible. The current schema will be published in the near
future to make sure all .yml.nfo released will use the same
structure and set of keys.
schema_version: 0.0.5
