Best known for his work on the multifaceted project Celldweller, Klayton formed Scandroid in 2013 and found a new inspiration for his densely layered compositions by combining ‘80s pop sensibilities with a host of other creative ideas, ranging from classic darkwave to modern electronic music. The result is an immersive audio experience infused with imaginative sci-fi lyrics and atmosphere. "Raven" aka Varien was also part of the project before later departing.

Scandroid’s music has cracked the Top 10 on the iTunes Electronic Albums chart and the Top 5 on the Billboard Electronic Albums chart. Along with his original songs streaming in the millions, Scandroid’s music has also been the subject of several popular remixes, including a Dance With the Dead remix of "Neo-Tokyo" that has accumulated 12 million combined streams between Spotify and YouTube alone.

Following the Scandroid self-titled debut album in 2016, Klayton released a second full-length album, Monochrome (Deluxe Edition), in 2017. He then embarked on the most ambitious project in Scandroid’s history to day, releasing the first half of an epic double album in The Darkness in 2018. The second half, The Light, was released in late 2019 with the complete album, The Darkness and The Light, to follow in 2020.

Overall Meaning

The song "Eden" by Scandroid is a celebration of unity and rebirth between two lovers. The lyrics describe their newfound paradise and their eternal connection, which is symbolized by the Eden they have created together. The song opens with the repetition of "This Eden!" which emphasizes the utopian nature of their relationship. The chorus, "This Eden is our paradise forever!" repeats throughout the song, driving home the message that their love is eternal.

The second verse emphasizes the length of their relationship, describing the eons that are behind them but asserting their ownership over their future. The phrase "not captive to time" suggests that they are free from temporal limitations and in control of their destiny. The final lyrics, "All alone and in our own starlight tonight, we'll traverse the universe tonight!" suggest an otherworldly journey that they will undertake together.

The overall theme of the song is the power of love to create a paradise, both within a relationship and beyond. The lyrics and the driving electronic beat combine to create an exhilarating anthem of eternal love.

This has some of the best vocals I've heard in a long time. This guy has that retro vocal sound perfected. Reminiscent of Howard Jones vocal style.

@revelle8605

7y↑38

Huh. This video has changed how I think about Eden, as a place in the album's narrative. First hearing the song, I assumed Eden was everything he sang about--a perfect paradise that would last forever. But now it seems more likely he's reflecting on what he was told about Eden, as opposed to what it actually turned out to be. It looks like Red was either lied to about Eden, or something happened to it.
...Well, I suppose if Red ended up in a perfect Eden for eternity, there'd be no reason for Scandroid to release a second album. XD So, good for that.

@DumbVampire

7y↑3

Harold W that actually changes the way the video looks. I didn't think about that. hmmm.. I know 'Awakening With You' is about Adam and Eev... is Eden about them too and Red is walking through eden? We know certain songs are about Red, because they reference 'Aphelion' who is his love interest, but the rest are probably about Adam? idk. I've thought long and hard about the Celldweller/Scandroid universe

@Rachel-eq7uf

4y↑1

I think it's about how AI is what connects us all and that there's been a reawakening of it across the world. I also think it's about how everyone's version of paradise is different. Eden was the birthplace of creation.

Hence the diamond shape opening, the kid on the wallpaper looking through a telescope, the robots, the Asian typography, the Hindu Ganesh statues which represents a religion that believes in life after death/a rebirth and the reference to the Christian birthplace of creation, which is Eden. Christianity also believes in life after death/a rebirth.

@jackhume1525

A little bit static, but it does a good job setting up the feel of the world Klayton is trying to establish in the music. Personally I imagined something a bit more polished and perhaps a tad tron-like. Its nice to see it from the artists perspective. I always felt this song was a celebration of finally finding a world for yourself where you can be accepted. The music video has a pretty interestingly stark contrast to that feel. The world feels empty and void, and the character seems more like an interloper who hasn't been discovered yet. The setting feels lonely, barren, as if part of an ancient culture that no longer exists and the main character is the first one to step foot in it after so long. Either way I enjoyed it but I felt the drift between wandering shots and stationary shots felt a little flat it was just missing something a bit more dynamic to contrast these. Perhaps a view of the past? Perhaps a view of the future? Perhaps what the character envisions the Eden to become once he's awakened his fellows and brought his people to their new Eden. Not sure but enjoyed it either way.

@XxInf3ctedxX

7y↑27

Interesting... this is not really what I'd imagined Eden to be like. What you've depicted here is more like what I imagined Old Tokyo to look like... It's very dark, abandoned, dysfunctional and battered. This seems like it'd be better suited for a live action Empty Streets music video.

I envisioned Eden as a beautiful place, laced with vivid lights and circuitry; other Plug-ins have already found their way there thanks to Atom and E.E.V, before Red and Aphelion find it, and they all clearly feel like they're at home and at a safe place. Kind of like a heaven for cybernetic humans; an opposite of Death's Door from End of an Empire.

As such, this was a bit disappointing, but the set pieces were well constructed and it shows that a clear effort was put into this, which I greatly respect. If anything, it does well to set the vibe of Old Tokyo for Red.

@umbaupause

6y↑4

It's interesting to think that maybe, in such a technological future, their paradise would be what we consider old and abandoned, a little bit of nostalgic peace perhaps?

@AstralDragoon

5y↑5

But isn't the androids' Eden in Old Tokyo? Remember Pro-Bots and Robophobes: "He led us into Eden beneath Neo-Tokyo, an electronic paradise where humans would not go". It's a place too decayed and inhospitable for humans to live; I don't imagine it would look like a polished city. The Eden here isn't so much a place of beauty as a haven to escape human influence - to get outside the datastream and connect in their own way.
