i initially wanted to sequence this at the end of the inri period, but i've changed my mind. the inricycled concept is about reclaiming interesting sections of songs that my immaturity ruined. however, this idea simply doesn't need to be extended over the full range of the inri period. inri material after the inriched demo (which was just after my 18th birthday) is strong enough to hold up on it's own. this would include the inrimake and inridiculous demoes, as well as associated singles...
the inricycled concept only needs to be applied to the inri/inriched demoes, and i can even really hone in to about a five month period at the beginning of 1998 where some less than great decisions were applied to material i was rerecording (and in some cases had written as young as 13). despite that period being short, it's consequences extended right up until early '99.
that defines the boundaries of this inricycled period: jan '98 to feb '99.
i've tried to make the tracks short to fulfill the medley concept, but that sort of breaks about halfway through. i simply wasn't writing songs in late '98. i was experimenting with sound effects and doing weird remixes. the last song in this collection was the first proper "song" i'd recorded in months, and it really represents a dramatic change in sound. so, it's more reasonable to end the period there for that reason, too.

i've released a dozen different things with the title "inricycled", making it more of a concept than a release. it's not just the material i'm recycling, now, it's the idea of recycling material.
i hope this is the final iteration. the difference, here, is that i'm trying to isolate segments of songs that people interested in my more recent compositions would find interesting. these fragments aren't entirely void of lyrics, but they're very minimal. they're also quite short; for the B volume, i've enforced a very strict two minute time limit on the fragments (which is not applicable to a few full tracks). i've also retitled most of the tracks to get a feel of what the music sounds like and/or what i was thinking as i was writing it. well...some of it is just silly.
the material here stems from recordings that were completed in 1998 and very early 1999. it is constructed in a way that maintains the recording chronology, which means it captures a level of increasing complexity. it does not, however, include the material on inrisampled because it's from 1997 and comprehensively dealt with there. nor does it include the material on warning or inrimake because i feel these are sufficient ways to recombine that material. finally, material after march, 1999 has been deemed sufficiently fit to stand on it's own; this only glosses over the inri/inriched period, and related eps.
generally, the goal here is to reclaim instrumental versions of vocal tracks. i've mentioned repeatedly that my lyrics and vocals in this period were not impressive, but there are instrumental sections that stand well on their own. hence, this medley.
one can accurately read deeply into the few lyrics i've salvaged.
looking back at the period between may '98 and feb '99 produces a large deficit of songwriting. i was working through experiments, doing remixes and other fun things, but the only thing approaching a song produced during that period is 'idiotic'. tracks 14-16, here, were finalized over late '98 but mostly recorded in very early '98. when i finally broke the slump with "too cold", i had something entirely different in front of me. it represents the beginning of something entirely new.....
sequenced and mildly modified in jan, 2014. as always, please use headphones.
