so, this is a surreal moment, and i thought it would never come, but it is finally here: i am resequencing my first record.

it is true that there are tracks i cannot reconstruct, but i don't really need to reconstruct any of them because they're instrumentals, anyways. so, i can create a reasonable replacement for this.

i bluntly didn't think this was possible. if i thought it was possible, i would have done it in the first place. much more of it become reconstructible than i thought, because i dumped most of the electronics to tape after all.

now that it is clear that this is possible, i can't not do it. i was able to salvage some of these a few years ago by equalizing the cd rips, but some of them were really beyond saving and absolutely had to be recreated. yet, i decided it was impossible and accepted what i had - mixes that i had ruined.

if i can fix it, all of that logic collapses and i have to actually do it. some of what exists right now just sounds awful on every level, but what do you do if you can't fix it? suppress it or release it? i thought it was better to release it. but, i don't have to make that choice anymore.

i should be able to fix the second record, too.

this is a huge update to my discography. it converts what were two semi-official recordings into two full-blown official releases. this is a happy occasion.

i'm going to be creative regarding how i mix the segues. i need some continuity, so i have to remaster them. but, i'm not holding to any specific historical truth.

so, these are the changes that are coming.

1) inri000-inri003 [96-97 demos] remain the same.
2) a sequence of singles (skaters, confused, hey god, schizoid terrorist, i did your mom, nope) is inserted that has various versions of each of these tracks. the singles will be the only sources of vocal versions for these tracks.
3) my first record, inri, is being completely resequenced. tracks will align with their final versions, which will be dramatic at points - such as the added sequencing for confused, or the full remix of the intersection. this will be entirely instrumental. the existing version will only be available on the aleph-0 disc.
4) there will be another sequence of singles over late 98 (eat my fuck, idiotic, suicide suite, boogeyman). this will again be the only source for vocal versions.
5) inriched will be resequenced and vocal versions will only be available on aleph-0. except "too cold", which i have no tapes for.
6) inrijected will likely see the vocal version of permission replaced, with the vocal version available only on the aleph disc.
7) inrimixed will likely fall back to it's previous incarnation, with the rest of it scattered across the discography - much of it on the actual records. the added section will be dropped as superfluous.
8) inriclaimed will specifically be a "straight from tape" project. or it may even be deleted!

the discography flips over after that.

so, if you want these existing mixes and don't want to pay $100 for an aleph-disc, get them in the next few days or hours because i'm happy to switch them out and will not put them back.
