Artist commentary:

Elanor Pam: (track artist, booklet commentary)

This was very much a test-bed for photoshop brushes and adjustment layers I had yet to touch on, all while putting the speed in speedpaint.

keyboard cait: (album team, booklet commentary)

At one point I described this as something along the lines of "electric Scottish war music", and that still stands. The melody in this song is absolutely iconic, if you ask me, and it gets INCREDIBLY amped. Maybe enough to see what lies under that voltaic fault. (Spoiler: It's just a lot of xenon.) Also, the lyrics to this song are "DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE". That is all.

Thomas Ferkol: (composer, Tumblr, WIP commentary)

The Voltaic Fault (Land of Mounds and Xenon)

Sorry it (maybe, I can't tell anymore) is so quiet, still trying to fix this volume issue I've had with my stuff. Jakes land reminded me of highlands with the mounds and all the green, and I love the charged xenon running through the planet's canyons.

Thomas Ferkol: (Tumblr)

The Voltaic Fault (Land of Mounds and Xenon)

I put my ear to the rolling hills of highland thunder.
