boogeyman (original album mix)

this is the final version of boogeyman; it only differs from the discarded version in the vocals. i was feeling the need to keep a beat poetry ironic distance at the time, and i don't think it serves the track well, in hindsight. the version on my '96 demo is far superior, but i can't sequence it here because it doesn't include the drum machine part. the discarded version also has a terrible vocal mix, which is why i redid the vocals in the first place. i'm not sure what the problem was with this track specifically, but i do have a vague recollection of being sort of adverse to it's poppiness and feeling an obligation to ruin it.

recorded in december, 1997. edited in january, 1998 and again in january, 1999.
