Some of the songs are cut out and some are not ready.
I know I should probably not say this and rather refine my music and post it when it is ready. But I can't.
I have been writing this album for a long time and I was, in fact, close to be ready to release it. It was supposed to be a concept album with a clear story line and over 10 songs. However, Some day my computer decided to stop working. I lost most of my recent progress on my music, and I didn't have the projects backed up. The only thing I had backed up on an external hard drive where some older exports of the individual songs, which weren't supposed to be the final versions, but are the ones you are hearing now. I couldn't recover any of my progress since then and I had nothing saved besides these songs.
The main problem with these songs are the vocals. I should have recorded them again and made a better mix, but I didn't get to do this since I lost the projects and had only these low quality exports.
My first thought was "Fuck it, I'll just record everything from scratch again" but that is easier said then done. I have another project in another genre of music which I wanna focus on first, and I cannot even do that right now because The computer I am left with is old and not capable of running any DAW whatsoever (yes, I tried).
I also thought of just deleting everything and redoing it some other day, but that is just too frustrating. I am going to travel abroad in a few days and I don't know when I am coming back. I just wanna release something out there just so I can have a reason to come back to Alter Alien some day in the future.
This is why I am releasing this album right now, and If I ever redo it I'll take it down and release the new version.
I am sorry.
I will not advertise this album at all, so in case someone somehow happens to find it and listen to it, I am grateful and I hope you can like one or two songs. But releasing this album the way it is is really more of a thing I am doing to myself to remember to back up my work in the future.
