I'm thrilled to report that we're done with tracking for the 4 new tracks, and pretty much right on schedule! We're doing some arrangement tweaks and finalization in the next couple weeks, and then we'll be on to mixing, and finally mastering (which will likely be a more effortful endeavor trying to get these tracks sounding like they belong together!). But now for this week's good stuff:
Unreleased Track - "Learn To Lose (Or Play The Game)"
This song is somewhat fascinating, in that I currently have no memory of writing it or recording this demo. It came up in my dragnet as I was sifting through old files and email chains (literally looking in my email for a filter to everything I've ever sent to Bill with an attachment).
Part of why I don't remember anything is that we never went past this acoustic demo which is basically just an iPhone voice memo, so it never made it onto any of our lists as we were shaping up songs for KABOOM! even though it's from that era.
Also you can hear my "vocal chiptune" filler which is always good for a laugh (beedle deedle and such).
Semi-Released Tracks - Email List Part 3
There's always more stuff from the email list archives! Although believe it or not I think this is the last post of them, so there's only a couple left that aren't already included in other categories
- "She's Got Sorcery" - This one may be one of the better known tracks on here since we used to play it a lot at live shows. It is a ton of fun, although it never made it out to anywhere beyond our email list
- "Air Man from Mega Man 2" - way back when Packy first (re)joined the band on guitar, he decided it would be a fun way to introduce him to fans to do a video where he multitracked himself playing every part of the Air Man theme. And we released the audio to the email list as well, because it's super fun.
- "No One Likes Superman Anymore (LSDJ Gameboy Version)" - In the early days, we really didn't have that many songs, and I was still learning new tricks in making chiptune using Little Sound DJ, so I did a few of these all-chiptune self-covers, and we released them primarily to the email list.
