I really like Scandroid songs, they sound somehow both old and futuristic at the same time. The sound takes me back in time and suddenly the images become bolder and neon like from somewhere in the future, can't really say it better with words. Great song once again, although I really enjoy rock and metal, I will probably always be an electonic music fan deep down
I think the reason why it gives that awesome Retro and Futuristic sound is because it sounds sorta like 80's/90's pop put into a blender with modern day Electro styles to make a brilliant combination of the two, one of the catchiest sounds i have ever heard
Aphelion is the point when a space object reaches farthest point from the sun on it's orbit. Klayton mentioned it in one of ask celldweller vids. My interpretation is that the song is about the long distance relationship.
aphelion is the farther point from the elittic sun s orbit but it also true that when is at this position the inclination of the rays hits whatever planet perperndicularly and so with more intensity. so maybe he could be talking about a person that influence a lot your reality by make you feel different emotions with strong intensity despite the good or bad nature of the feeling.
I don't want to power down But what else can I do? When life breaks my heart I pray to God That I fall in love with you In my favorite dreams I feel your heat Though I'm farthest from the sun But your glowing eyes are cold as ice You are my Aphelion And all the time I thought I walked these empty streets alone I never thought I'd be with you, heading into the unknown So far away again My winter has begun And I can't see when you're next to me You are my Aphelion I don't want to go offline But what else should I do? With a broken heart I pray to God I can orbit close to you In my favorite dreams you feel so real Like a fire from the sun But your foreign eyes are cold as ice You are my Aphelion And all the time I thought I walked these empty streets alone I never thought I'd be with you, heading into the unknown So far away again My winter has begun And I can't see when you're next to me You are my Aphelion So far away again My winter has begun And I can't see when you're next to me You are my Aphelion In my favorite dreams you feel so real Like a fire from the sun But your foreign eyes are cold as ice You're my Aphelion So far away again My winter has begun And I can't see when you're next to me You are my Aphelion So far away again My winter has begun And I can't see when you're next to me You are my Aphelion So far away again My winter has begun And I can't see when you're next to me You are my Aphelion Aphelion, Aphelion, Aphelion Aphelion, Aphelion, Aphelion Aphelion, Aphelion, Aphelion
He deserves more attention then he deserves because while skrillex is ok and his songs are hit or miss for me personally Klayton in my history of listening him he hasn't disappointed me especially making scandroid he hasn't disappointed me at all....he needs more of a fan base honestly because this in my opinion is taking a genre and taking it to the Nth degree. Which for Klayton is not impossible especially Blue stalhi deserves more credit and plus they produce there own songs with barely a middle man because you know how middle man work but I believe when all the artists that are popular today die out Klayton will rise up against them and be popular. I don't care what people might think of him and his music its better the whatever crap is coming out now. This my friends is real music
Christopher Noell-Moss totally agree with you there all the songs that are coming out are good but mostly repetitive just some things change but blue stahil and celldweller have always something new and the best thing for me is that they do this because they love music not because they want to make money
Happy 2 year anniversary, Aphelion. Only a couple more weeks till the full album drops! (I can't believe I left it as tear for a week or so... God I am so dumb...)
Klayton, you are truly the most inspiring music creator/producer I have ever listened to, and as an avid music listener for 2 centuries, among all genres, your music is like hamburgers to me, I can't and don't want to imagine my life without it.
What is better for Klayton/Celldweller : Staying Underground or Going Mainstream as an Artist ????? All in All , All The FiXT Label Artist kick all the ass out of the mainstream !!!!!
It wouldn't make much difference, he'd get more money if it went Mainstream. But, he'd still pump out amazing music. Because he's a perfectionist and not a sellout.
Those who burn with the brightest fire burn out the soonest. I would give every minute of my life for him to get recognition he deserves, but pushing to the mainstream would be a tragedy.
Does that give it any less credit? No. It just goes to show how diverse Klayton's talent is, and how his passion goes beyond what most people would call 'sane'. It's perfect, 's what it is.

Wasn't his name Scott Albert? ... ITS KLAYTON ANYWAY. I get feeling we would tear down to the bone any possibility to get to see more of him as a person, for such an inspiring person he is, but for all his work, for everything he gave us, I think respecting privacy is the least we can do ^^
Not as great Empty Streets, but anything Scandroid can only be compared to something else Scandroid. if it was paired against any other song, it just wouldn't be fair for the other.
Scandroid is still Epic! I feel I will always miss Varien, but that's only because I love his music as much as Celldweller's and I plan on following their music until they stop or I die whichever comes first lol
This hurts in a very good way. I have an odsessive attachment style and when I need to repress some very strong emotions, this song helps me get high off of the pain. I love emotional pain, it makes me feel more alive than fleeting positivity ever could. Edit: damn. I was genuinely going through some shit, but this just makes me sound like a pervert.
for some reason I'm getting this 80's vibe for the beginning of this song. In particular there's a song from then that is on the tip of the tongue! Damnit.. Which is it??
That was exactly the clue I needed, thanks Jeff. "Pure Energy" by information society. Pretty close to that one though I suspect there are others that are even closer.
Given the '80's new wave vibe, you REALLY need to get some Scandroid tunes on season 2 of Netflix's Stranger Things! It would be a perfect fit musically! This is like Howard Jones with bigger balls!
Yes...can hear Howard Jones, Depeche Mode etc in there.... but more edge to it...Would also love music from this album somewhere in season 2 of Stranger Things!
I know now that Klayton's happily married, but when this was released, I couldn't help but think he's in love. So glad I was right without knowing about it ^^
Fuck!! when I look up my past I remember this sound..... then I skip through all the obvious songs..... then I get frustrated. WOW. this FEELS like what I remember feeling!
I think I enjoy this stuff a little better than End of an Empire. Idk, I'm in love with the style and I haven't really heard anything else like it before, at least not from the current gen.
0:50, I'm not into social media and It'd probably be weird to even ask this to know. In any case, is the woman in that image on the remotest possibility a lady friend of Celldweller's? Wondering cause that'd be a pretty interesting thing to do for one's special gal(s). Probably just straight up art made for him ir by a fan.
I really like Scandroid songs, they sound somehow both old and futuristic at the same time. The sound takes me back in time and suddenly the images become bolder and neon like from somewhere in the future, can't really say it better with words.

Great tracks reminiscent of the days of 90's cyberpunk. Miss those days.
I think the reason why it gives that awesome Retro and Futuristic sound is because it sounds sorta like 80's/90's pop put into a blender with modern day Electro styles to make a brilliant combination of the two, one of the catchiest sounds i have ever heard
Yeah old and futuristic as you said, Almost like Moderntalking
+Crista Exon Yeah, it reflects my favorite ideas of the future, mainly the Cyberpunk movement of the 1980s. So fantastic!
I concur with your thesis
Aphelion is the point when a space object reaches farthest point from the sun on it's orbit. Klayton mentioned it in one of ask celldweller vids.
My interpretation is that the song is about the long distance relationship.
Or a person that pulls you to a dark place, but you like it.
Or a person that pulls you back. Once you've reached Aphelion, you return.
Holy shit it all makes sense now.
aphelion is the farther point from the elittic sun s orbit but it also true that when is at this position the inclination of the rays hits whatever planet perperndicularly and so with more intensity. so maybe he could be talking about a person that influence a lot your reality by make you feel different emotions with strong intensity despite the good or bad nature of the feeling.
It also sounds like a futuristic version of the name Ophelia
I don't want to power down
But what else can I do?
When life breaks my heart I pray to God
That I fall in love with you
In my favorite dreams I feel your heat
Though I'm farthest from the sun
But your glowing eyes are cold as ice
You are my Aphelion
And all the time I thought I walked these empty streets alone
I never thought I'd be with you, heading into the unknown
So far away again
My winter has begun
And I can't see when you're next to me
You are my Aphelion
I don't want to go offline
But what else should I do?
With a broken heart I pray to God
I can orbit close to you
In my favorite dreams you feel so real
Like a fire from the sun
But your foreign eyes are cold as ice
You are my Aphelion
And all the time I thought I walked these empty streets alone
I never thought I'd be with you, heading into the unknown
So far away again
My winter has begun
And I can't see when you're next to me
You are my Aphelion
So far away again
My winter has begun
And I can't see when you're next to me
You are my Aphelion
In my favorite dreams you feel so real
Like a fire from the sun
But your foreign eyes are cold as ice
You're my Aphelion
So far away again
My winter has begun
And I can't see when you're next to me
You are my Aphelion
So far away again
My winter has begun
And I can't see when you're next to me
You are my Aphelion
So far away again
My winter has begun
And I can't see when you're next to me
You are my Aphelion
Aphelion, Aphelion, Aphelion
Aphelion, Aphelion, Aphelion
Aphelion, Aphelion, Aphelion
Thx for the lyrics
Every finding this, like more. Lyrics people deserve to be top comments.
Klayton is a music God
👍
👍
I can't get enough of this song
Props to whoever did the artwork for this track.
Most likely Ninja Jo
Ninja Jo. She makes most of artwork for Klayton.
it's bloody incredible what she makes :)
Your music Klayton will be legend when the 80s return in 2080, your music will Stand the test of time.
This song will always be a timeless masterpiece for me;
Listening to it nine years ago was beautiful, brings back good memories
I still listen to Scandroid regularly.
The beat is so nice and catchy. I love it and this is my first song i ever hear of Scandroid. Love it.
Me too :)
The only album with a story that’s actually had me so captivated.
80's epicness!!! This is really the best music I have heard in years.
He deserves more attention then he deserves because while skrillex is ok and his songs are hit or miss for me personally Klayton in my history of listening him he hasn't disappointed me especially making scandroid he hasn't disappointed me at all....he needs more of a fan base honestly because this in my opinion is taking a genre and taking it to the Nth degree. Which for Klayton is not impossible especially Blue stalhi deserves more credit and plus they produce there own songs with barely a middle man because you know how middle man work but I believe when all the artists that are popular today die out Klayton will rise up against them and be popular. I don't care what people might think of him and his music its better the whatever crap is coming out now. This my friends is real music
Amen!
I am of one mind with you here
Christopher Noell-Moss totally agree with you there all the songs that are coming out are good but mostly repetitive just some things change but blue stahil and celldweller have always something new and the best thing for me is that they do this because they love music not because they want to make money
Christopher Noell-Moss I'd rather have him as an underrated hidden gem, than common spoiled trash liked by many
Christopher I guess Klayton never miss, huh? Sorry (not sorry) I had to.
Such another amazing song by Scandroid!
This awesome, love the synths, so 80s but still modern
Nostalgia! Made me remember sweet old times back in 2023
God DAMN this is amazing! Scandroid will never get old!
Can't get old if you time-travel *insert sassy meme*
Just got into scandroid and its amazing cant get enough
Me too.
Interesting song sounds very retro and futuristic and the same time
One of my favorite songs.
Man, I almost haven't heard these songs for quite a while, I remembered loving his songs since back early in 2017, loved it!
yeah me too, I always keep coming back
Happy 2 year anniversary, Aphelion. Only a couple more weeks till the full album drops!
(I can't believe I left it as tear for a week or so... God I am so dumb...)
Klayton, you are truly the most inspiring music creator/producer I have ever listened to, and as an avid music listener for 2 centuries, among all genres, your music is like hamburgers to me, I can't and don't want to imagine my life without it.
This is my favorite ScanDroid song and up there with all of Klaytons songs
Really emotional song and like a lyrics!Great job:)
Well I am .. sometimes crying when I hear this.. Its going deep in my heart ;( But thats why I think its such beautiful! :)
Another fantastic Scandroid track, already looking forward hearing more!
I have a feeling Klayton played this at his wedding.
This song sounds even better in headphones! :)
Well it does :D
Every song does . Music generally ! I always wear mine
What is better for Klayton/Celldweller :
Staying Underground or Going Mainstream as an Artist ????? All in All , All The FiXT Label Artist kick all the ass out of the mainstream !!!!!
It wouldn't make much difference, he'd get more money if it went Mainstream. But, he'd still pump out amazing music. Because he's a perfectionist and not a sellout.
Savage!!!
Those who burn with the brightest fire burn out the soonest. I would give every minute of my life for him to get recognition he deserves, but pushing to the mainstream would be a tragedy.
i love this, this reminds me so much of "tron" kust with Klayton Voice. Just Awesome, more of that plzzzzz
Another great artist on this Label !!!! The music on here is better than mainstream !!!!!
you do know this just another project of klayton
Does that give it any less credit? No. It just goes to show how diverse Klayton's talent is, and how his passion goes beyond what most people would call 'sane'. It's perfect, 's what it is.

I never thought I'd be with you, heading into the unknown
So far away again, my winter has begun

You are my Aphelion (x3) (Aphelion...Aphelion...Aphelion..)
I love this song so much. ❤️
Thank you, Klayton Scott ,for putting out great music.
Wasn't his name Scott Albert?
... ITS KLAYTON ANYWAY. I get feeling we would tear down to the bone any possibility to get to see more of him as a person, for such an inspiring person he is, but for all his work, for everything he gave us, I think respecting privacy is the least we can do ^^
this 80's sound... so good!
This Klayton guy... What a piece of art.
Not as great Empty Streets, but anything Scandroid can only be compared to something else Scandroid. if it was paired against any other song, it just wouldn't be fair for the other.
This is technically better than ES, because ES wasn't New Retro, more like New Wave, still, I like Scandroid as a whole.
al112v4 Each to their own though, right?
jakdax77 Exactly.
haha, yeah, definitely has the unique factor, plus clayton is such an excellent singer
Man this music is amazing. The atmosphere just relaxes me while motivating me to get work done.
I don't want to power down but what else can i do when life breaks my heart (._.)
Can't wait for the full album.
Very good and unique style. Celldweller + a bit future retro. I wish scandroid and celldweller had more such tracks.
Love it!
I can only dream of having a tiny amount of the talent that Klayton has. Even then that is too much to dream of.
TyranT Varien is talented too, don't forget he is part of Scandroid too
Animate Shadow No he is not anymore. He left in 2013.
So hyped for this song!
OMG this is SOOOO LOVELY
I almost had to cry o.o ._. :')
Fav. song.
200 Years of music experience.
The Synthwave style is AMAZING!!!
This album is a fucking masterpiece.
Stellar vocals, melodies, quality overall
Literally addicted to this song
Amazing... this is my first Scandroid song..
Great music!
This is ace!
Wow, great track. Took me long enough to appreciate this! 👀
GOOOO Claytoooon! :D
God, this is SO great!!! :))
What a love song.
Scandroid is still Epic! I feel I will always miss Varien, but that's only because I love his music as much as Celldweller's and I plan on following their music until they stop or I die whichever comes first lol
klayton youre the man
so cool
This song is fire.
now i want a book or a video game about SCANDROIND
This hurts in a very good way. I have an odsessive attachment style and when I need to repress some very strong emotions, this song helps me get high off of the pain. I love emotional pain, it makes me feel more alive than fleeting positivity ever could.
Edit: damn. I was genuinely going through some shit, but this just makes me sound like a pervert.
Thank you. :)
for some reason I'm getting this 80's vibe for the beginning of this song. In particular there's a song from then that is on the tip of the tongue! Damnit.. Which is it??
anything by depeshe mode really
Reminds me of Information Society.
That was exactly the clue I needed, thanks Jeff. "Pure Energy" by information society. Pretty close to that one though I suspect there are others that are even closer.
Yep!
Scandroid is Klaytons '80's synth project so you're hearing a summary of an era
I'm glad you asked diabetes I was about to say "wow! This sounds just like celldweller!"
Given the '80's new wave vibe, you REALLY need to get some Scandroid tunes on season 2 of Netflix's Stranger Things! It would be a perfect fit musically! This is like Howard Jones with bigger balls!
Yes...can hear Howard Jones, Depeche Mode etc in there.... but more edge to it...Would also love music from this album somewhere in season 2 of Stranger Things!
Top tune.

Way to go Klay ^^
cool
Masterpiece
Que buena Rola, me gusto.
Wow, Does like, Very does like.
It's already been 8 years.
Fuck!! when I look up my past I remember this sound..... then I skip through all the obvious songs..... then I get frustrated. WOW. this FEELS like what I remember feeling!
Nice
nice
Dreamy
I really like your music ^_^
unofficial Jon/Ygritte theme-song. That fanon context for me makes me enjoy this song even more
Haha. Dope picture.
AMAZING! :D
The way he sings in this song reminds me of the song 'Shout' - Tears for Fears
TFT ftw.
+al112v5
I saw am album by them for like £3 in a shop recently, should I pick it up?
Paul Sims Wich one? They have quite a lot for what I've know.
al112v5 Oh right, i'm not too sure but Mad World was on it :)
Paul Sims I think that's from their first album The Hurting, pick it up then, it's just 3 bucks.
I think I enjoy this stuff a little better than End of an Empire. Idk, I'm in love with the style and I haven't really heard anything else like it before, at least not from the current gen.
i love it, i hope aphelion is vocalized by fluffy :D i love her voice
In my favorite dreams I feel your heat,it's the farthest from the sun,but your glowing eyes,are cold as eyes,you are my Aphelion!
it's farthest from the sun ;)
Alright :)
THE GODS OF TECHNO SPEAK TO ME NOW
That Tron vibe...
I proudly own both his albums Scandroid and Celldweller on vinyl. Klayton is the god of music!
THIS IS LIKE THE REAL LIFE VERSION OF PROTOZOA FROM ZENON WHEN I WAS A KID!
Its a mix of the 80s and now
wheres Aphelion short movie? the continuation of Empty streets. Congrats for scandroid, i show for everybody who i know.
0:50, I'm not into social media and It'd probably be weird to even ask this to know. In any case, is the woman in that image on the remotest possibility a lady friend of Celldweller's? Wondering cause that'd be a pretty interesting thing to do for one's special gal(s). Probably just straight up art made for him ir by a fan.
Ignis King She is most likely part of the story this album is telling.
Scandroid is past present future combo God
I would love to get a hold of the art used in this. Where can I find it?
+GreatSmithanon fullscreen and take a screenshot
+te gladiata much as you think you're being a wiseass, that wouldn't get me the source artwork.
+GreatSmithanon you never said you wanted the source
try some 3d model sites
here idk this might help i click on the link in the description fixtstore.com/collections/scandroid it took me here
Scandroid makes me want to reread Neuromancer and Snow Crash
Aphelion FTW!!!
LA goth scene please take notice.......Drab Majesty and this guy are some seriously good shit
Klayton Scott?
all started with kraftwerk. we all know that. ;) gz klay
2x) it's perfect!
