The katakana is ザバット (ZABATTO) but I think I'll just say it as "za-vat".

Yeah, that's what I'm sticking with too. That's how I first read it and it's not like it actually matters how I say it in my head since I'm not going to be discussing it with anyone in real life anyway.

ずばっと means "piercing or cutting something" ::kozi::

Lol, I was reffering more to what's behind it: ザバっと参上 アット リキッド!? (zabattosanjouattorikiddo!? or something like that)

Also, it looks like my national postal service TNT who take over EMS packages once they get in the country are going for a major strike starting upcoming Tuesday till Friday so just incase I am going to be in bad luck once again can someone who already has it upload the full ZEROTICA PV to YT or something already? Sorry if I am overly active today I've been home sick all week and I am bored out of my mind I tell you :/

Haha, I guess I should have read the whole sentence :roll:

I think it says "Tonight, the piercing extraordinary men of XA-VAT will be visiting at Liquid!"

Or, using Google Translate:

"Tonight, Zuba Innovation wonder man, calling on Innovation Dhaba at Liquid!"

^ I don't trust google translation at all lol I just checked what it said about ずばっと and it insisted it ment "Masturbation and without".
But yeah I more or less think the same about the translation as you do.

If you take XA-VAT and turn it into katakana you will most likely get クサバット

See, I don't get where you're getting kusabatto. :P They're using X like a Z here.

Xanthippe is pronounced クサンティッペ in Japanese.

I think I'll stick to pronouncing it "that band that Kozi is in".

Guys, I'm pretty sure it's pronounced ¥ËÏõhIOKd×(tYP¶}￾ÃZ.



That's what this entire conversation looks like to me.

Okay, while waiting for my Xa-Vat Cd, I naturally "borrowed" a copy, after a couple of listening I like both tracks but find these too similar to some of Goatbed stuff. Another thing, the beginning of Zerotica remind me of "Owner of a loney heart". I like Xanadoom except the lyric is a bit repetitive.

I 'borrowed' a copy as well because my stuff is most likely going to be stuck in postal strike and I must say am absolutely IN LOVE with Zerotica. It really gives me this futuristic 80ies tech/synth pop feeling. The guitars are really well blend into it and give it a rocky edge. When listing to XANADOoM it gave me a completely different feeling but I love it as well. Specially the slight radio filter and voice distorter (if that is how you write it in English) apeals to me a lot though I prefer Zerotica a bit more over XANADOoM.
Overall I must say I am 100% pleased as this is more or less exactly what I expected of XA-VAT and I am looking forward to more releases of them. I also somewhat agree with Blue Moon regarding the goatbed similarity.

Now someone needs to upload that full PV I really can't wait until TNT postal service decides to get off their lazy asses and deliver my order D:

Blue Moon , you made a good observation, there is indeed a similarity between the riffs of ZEROTICA and Yes - Owner of a Lonely Heart. Nice.

I am not really familiar with Goatbed, so i can't comment on their similarities. I only listened some of their songs years ago, but didn't get me interested to listen more.

Anyone has the credits of who wrote each song?
