These Hopeful Machines is the sixth studio album by composer and electronica artist BT, and is scheduled for release on February 2, 2010. The album contains a cover of The Psychedelic Furs’ “The Ghost in You”. The album was promoted via a series of puzzles and cryptograms on BT’s Tumblr page, which would provide details about the record when solved and/or decoded.

Says BT, “My ultimate goal is to keep the emotional counterpoint and the integrity of the song intact, even when pushing the envelope with style and technique. The faster things get, the less people are willing to take in a body of creative work. There are so few things now that will engage us. The intent of consuming music is usually to have an awareness or a feeling, to have a truly, empathic connection to others. My hope is to create something that makes people feel that they have consumed something that completes a void. I want to create something lasting.”
