Well here I am again, bearing inconclusive news to my adoring masses. Unnatural is almost ready to go. All of the CDs are printed, the booklet is completely designed, the artwork is done, the music is rockin. However, I am having difficulty with printing the booklets. As it turns out, it takes a lot of precision to print, cut, and fold the booklets correctly (or acceptably) so I am waiting on the price of professional printing.

One quote I got was $600 for 100 booklets, which is way out of my price range. The second one I am still waiting for, but assuming it is as bad, I will just have to do what I can do with what I’ve got, meaning the paper will probably be somewhat subpar for the first booklets. This is not really my concern, however. I want the books to be folded very well and cut at least pretty close to perfectly, and this presents a challenge, as I have stated.

Anyway, I have a new lofi up of “Pieces” because I decided I needed to start doing some recordings of my new stuff, if for no other reason than to get a record of what the songs are supposed to sound like. I am being pulled in many different ways on my projects. Coupling that with the amount of other projects I have involved myself in lately, I just can’t seem to make any progress to myself. As for Self-Titled, I really don’t like the songs, and that pretty much drives me to ignore my other albums.

Long story short, not much has changed, but I am working on something. Oh, and pretty soon “The Abortion Prophecies” will return to this page. Lucky you …

Finally an update on Unnatural:

I think the music that I have done on this album is absolutely unbelievable. The tempos on the songs are quite a bit faster than any of my previous stuff so I would venture that if people wanted to dance to these they could. Hell when I was recording the vocals I couldn’t help but move to most of them. I am extremely proud of the music. The vocals, however, are mediocre as usual (although they have their good qualities) and I think they detract from the music. But, as of this writing, I am getting used to them and might even eventually like them once I get all the volume issues settled to my satisfaction.

So, as far as the release date, all I have left to do is record “The End,” the instrumental last track, and it will be ready for everyone else to hear. I am pretty sure what I will do with it so chances are the album will be ready for another Tuesday release date. 🙂 I will post lofi tracks as soon as I can.
