Listen to BT talk about These Hopeful Machines with Wired.com HERE.

With his 6th studio album These Hopeful Machines, legendary artist and producer BT breaks down boundaries by fusing dance, pop, rock and electronic to deliver an extraordinary album that unifies all types of listeners. The double-disc opus debuts today at #2 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart, as well as #3 on the Electronic Chart.

The critical praise for These Hopeful Machines continues to pour in:

"…an album of ultimate depth and movement…If you’ve never liked electronica before, this is the release that could change your mind."
— Wired.com (9/10 stars)

"It's not often that a double-disc, two-hour album holds your attention consistently. But post-techno wizard BT's lush, electro-organic soundscapes are so textured, nuanced and melodically inviting that even techno-phobes will be seduced by his forward-thinking musicality."
— USA Today (3.5/4 stars)

“…a vast wonderland of melodic glitch and prolonged bliss.”
— All Music Guide 

BT's official single, "Suddenly," from his upcoming full-length These Hopeful Machines, along with five additional mixes is out today via iTunes and other major DSPs. The track opens to a minute's worth of glitchy breakbeats made using BT's own software, Breaktweaker, before morphing into a powerful, guitar-driven anthem that is among the album's most memorable songs. Check out the track HERE.
