Number Nine is the ninth studio album from electronic music composer Chris Hülsbeck. It was released by Synsoniq Records in August 2007, ten years after the preceding album Extreme Assault Soundtrack was released. Track-names such as "Lombard Street" and "North Beach Night Life" as well as the cover artwork, the Golden Gate Bridge, of San Francisco, where Hülsbeck has lived since 1998, was a main source of inspiration. The songs of the album have been described as being a melancholic melodic music, which appears to be disillusioning.
