first draft release of inri084

the write-up for the record has been corrupted and will need to be corrected.

the purpose of inri084 is to provide alternate sample collage versions of the now instrumental inri041 & inri081, in the forms they were initially released in in 2000 and 2004, but updated to include the most maximal mixes of all tracks possible, relative to the year 2022. all tracks are returned to their original forms, except that ignorance is bliss has been replaced with the maximal 2017 version (that includes all components of the two different interpretations of the track) and trepanation nation has been rebuilt to reintegrate the removed samples. the 2021 reconstruction of like divine amoebas was done to remove a click in the original build. the official final forms of these recordings remains in the instrumental inri041 and almost instrumental inri081. however, this 2xlp set retains the original construction, projected forward into a maximal reinterpretation, of these records as collections of sample collages, in order to ensure that all official lp recordings (inri/inri015, inriched/inri021, inridiculous/inri033, deny everything/inri041, jjjjjjjjj/inri052, jjjjjjjjj^2/inri063, ftaa/inri081, {e}/inri093) have both official instrumental/sample-less and alternate vocal/sample-centric versions, updated relative to their final forms.

these tracks were written over 1999-2004, partially remastered in spurts (2004, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2014), partially rebuilt in late 2017, in mid 2021 and again in 2022* and then recombined in this form in early 2022. these tracks require substantive volume to cut through the complexity of the mix; as always, please use headphones.
