The Reappraisal
Perhaps it’s a tad obvious, but sometimes it seems like an agonizing step back to look at the big picture is in order. Sometimes something will catalyze it, sometimes it will just boil over and catch up… such has been the last few weeks. However, with a new look comes a new walk.
So here’s the deal. To deliberately stay true to CC and to play by its (and everyone else’s) rules, I’m going to make a CC-exclusive compilation of all my clean tracks (that is, tracks that have no traceable samples). There are plenty, some of which had to be slightly retouched. There will also be an unreleased “Guns Blazin” b-side attached to it as well as new album artwork and a whole new delivery. I’ll start from scratch with all of the original mastered tracks and then mix them in a cohesive, digestable fashion to make it so that the album can be listened to front to back in a story-telling manner like “Scientific Method, Vol.2″.
Otherwise, things are going well, albeit a tad stressful. Still working on that Glide remix and also started a new track. My buddy Patrick hooked us up with a gig playing at Kingpin in West Chicago on August 1st at 7pm. $7.00 at the door, 21+… if only this were in the city! It’s a great club, though. It should be good, we just need a lot of people to come.
We’ll be perfecting the set, dropping some new stuff and in new ways. Come check it out if you… live… in the area.

Mate,
i can appreciate that this must have been a bit gut-wrenching. I was surprised to find your albums down, and it seems weird that non-commercial artists and amateurs are held to higher standards than signed musicians, but I think it showed guts and a lot of maturity to take the advice and do what you did. I’m enjoying both your new albums on Jamendo now and they are massive, all the better for your retouching and so on. Fact is that your new stuff is fantastic quality, and you know now that you’re rock solid in terms of making the stuff available under CC.
I really appreciate that you put your stuff out under CC – your music is of rare quality and I hope it inspires others. Keep up the good work, man.
Peace
