Album flow is difficult because it is subjective. I quite often listen to records and think they are too long and should have gotten rid of 4-5 songs and made a better shorter release (i like 60s 70s style where you could only fit around 40 mins on a piece of vinyl.)

i always spend ages arranging songs ive written into a cohesive series of traxx for a release. and it can take over a year for me just to put together a nice EP kinda thing.

i normally write a series of traxx over a period of time, and some of those will be discarded, and others seem to naturally form a narrative that i can then use as a release.

have you considered not doing a long 30 min+ record and keeping it short?

have you played with different song orders, putting them on CD/MP3 playa and listening to them in a setting outside of your studio?

listening to your songs, some of them are very textured dissonant pieces, but others are very pop and melody. does the juxtaposition of these 2 styles jar you?

Can you just give all your songs to a trusted friend and get them to chose the order?

there is a lot of reverb on the mix, which i would be careful of, unless it is a deliberate aesthetic choice

im sure that ages ago i found somewhere online the bpms of the c64 speeds at standard x1 speed.

really random stuff, 4 was something like 143.658 bpm. its gets even more incomprehensible if you use groove tempos and multispeed.

x16 speed with 70 30 groove tempo on.

ive not used a real c64 in ages but when i had one, i couldn't overwrite files using johnplayer. ive not ever used a tracker in an emulator either.

this appears to have some things you could try?

not very metal, more sort of techno/electronic/idm/ stuff but avoids chirpy happy lsdj stuff.

there is lots of great music that is just bassline and beats. just make it a mean bassline and roll with it.
