these are the unedited mixes from 1997. well, almost unedited - i had to convert them all to stereo. i still have the mono mp3s from 1997.
they're mono because the samples i used were mono. in fact, they're like 56 kbps, because the samples were like 56 kbps.
so, this should sound kind of flat and dead, and it does. with the the first three recordings (the two demos and the inricycled), the sound should be trebly and sparkly and bright, partly intentionally and partly due to the fact that i was a 15-16 year old kid that was learning how to use the gear. it's important that the packages maintain that naivete, so we can't have fancy bass transforms running over it. it broadly doesn't sound that bad. this recording, inri003, is my first experiment with digital anything, and has to maintain the telephone speaker or am radio quality, even though i've long upsampled it.
it sounds ok to me. but, if you notice a dramatic increase in sound quality, please contact me. that would not be right - this is a document of a collection of primitive experiments, was isolated and released that way for that reason and needs to maintain a glitchy, low sound quality aesthetic.
the remasters for inri015 and inri021, where most of these end up, are a little thicker sounding.
