Limited 180-gram yellow & red colored vinyl. Like all of Tankian's work, the five tracks that comprise Foundations encompass a wide range of sounds and styles. It is music that traverses multiple eras and vast swaths of emotions. It is also very much a rock album - 'music of rebellion', as Tankian puts it. A true creative tour de force, Tankian recorded Foundations primarily at his own Serjical Strike Studios in L.A. He wrote, performed, orchestrated and produced all the material, as well as contributed the artwork - an original piece titled 'Sunburst' - that adorns the album cover.
