I just realized this never got posted here, I guess because I didn't know this place existed whenever I released it. So here it is - my first album in all its sloppy unmastered lo-fi glory, newly returned from the netherworld of nonavailability in the wake of my old website's unsolved disappearance.

TRIVIA: the sine wave samples I used on this album were mistakenly labelled as square waves the entire time I was making it.

It's a surprise. You'll like it.

@SketchMan3 - I'm glad someone liked that site. It was kind of neat, but very basic, awkward to navigate, and looked really ugly when it turned up on a Google search, so in some ways I'm glad it's gone. I still have all the HTML though; I might put it up again someday.

Yeah man. It had a very cryptic and sterile feeling that was very fun for me to navigate. It fit the "Brother Android" persona very well, in my opinion. Some people at another forum I frequented thought it was neat also.

Huh. Well, maybe I'll find some other hosting for it, then.

I don't know if this is the place to ask, but does anyone think a cassette release of Space Hymns is a good idea?

I don't think there'd be anything wrong with that if there was an audience that wanted them. Analog media have their own charm, for all the inconvenience. I record on cassettes all the time and love the way they sound. They're not very popular but I don't think it's fair to say they're outdated or anything. Also, Space Hymns is incredibly lo-fi anyway... it would feel wrong somehow to put it on a CD.

Now, if someone were to release something on floppy disk, THAT would be just silly.

Not sure if I'd choose Space Hymns (or Satellite for that matter, both of which are awesome but a little too abstract to warrant a physical release, I think), but your music has just been begging for a cassette release.  I'd be equally happy to have In Death a Dream of Color, OctNovDec, or I Wish I Were Your Derivative on cassette though.  Or all 3.  That would be beyond words.

I second this, made me feel something similar to this.  Actually quite easy to navigate too - here are the downloads, click the button and receive them.  I'm surprised how many labels these days make it practically as difficult as possible to hear a stream of the music.  Bandcamp is awesome, no reason to stop using that - but why not have the download links on your site simply redirect to Bandcamp?  Just a thought.
