so, my initial logic with this stands...

i only had four tracks at the time to work with, so i generally bounced all the electronic things to a single track - drum machines, sequenced sound card playback, live synths, digital noise. i then put all the guitars on one track, the bass on the third and the vocals on the fourth.

the isolated "digital track" is often interesting it's own kind of way, some of it sounds like early autechre, but it creates something anachronistic if i'm trying to create an ep of stuff from late '97, because a lot of the stuff didn't come in until 1998.

in order to rebuild this little ep, i'd need to redo the drums and sequencers completely. and there's nothing stopping me from doing that. except that there's really only one song that i think it's worthwhile to do it for.

i'm going to wait until i completely reinterpret each of the songs, and then put a series of singles up.

so, there's no lost release. and i'm probably not going to touch the remasters, although i am going to spend the evening listening.

the digitization was useful, but i don't think this little lost ep is worth fucking the discography up over.
