Vexillology is the second studio album by deadmau5 (Joel Zimmermann), released in November 2006 through Play Digital. Like its predecessor Get Scraped, the album was a self-produced and self-distributed work from Zimmermann's pre-fame years before Mau5trap and global touring had defined his public profile. The album title refers to the study of flags, a piece of dry intellectual humor characteristic of Zimmermann's public persona. Musically, Vexillology pushes further into deep electronic territory than Get Scraped, with longer structures and a more refined synthesizer palette that points toward the progressive house sound he would fully develop on Random Album Title. It remains the last album deadmau5 released before signing to Mau5trap and beginning his mainstream ascent.
