Get Scraped is the debut studio album by Canadian music producer deadmau5, released on July 26, 2005, by the independent record label ZOOLOOK.[1] The album represented Zimmerman's early musical style prior to his more recent progressive house style.
Background
The track title 'Bored of Canada' presumably refers to Boards of Canada, a Scottish downtempo and IDM act whom Zimmerman has pointed to as one of his influences. The track itself is a short, interlude-like track that is reminiscent of the Boards of Canada signature. The track is followed by nearly one minute of silence, and then a few seconds of the track repeating from the beginning again. This is believed to be an error, since a version without the silence can be found on other releases such as Project 56.
The track "Intelstat" contains vocal samples of the song "M01 Chant I — Making of Cyborg" by Kenji Kawai from the Ghost in the Shell soundtrack.
Release
The album has two different releases, a limited CD release from 2005 and a demo CD. A revised digital download was released on June 12, 2006. Two tracks "FlashTV" and "Messages from nowhere" were omitted from the digital release. However they were digitally re-released in 2006 by Nicholas Da Silva, the owner of Zoolook Records on his since removed album "Hitless".[2] Zimmerman himself re-released "Messages from nowhere" on his compilation album Stuff i used to do in 2017.
Reception
Due to the fact Zimmerman was unknown outside of the Internet at the time there are no reviews that date near the albums initial release. However, as Zimmerman gain popularity during the late-2000s, online articles looking back on the albums release have emerged.
