this is not an album. 

these are rarities once lost and now found. 
i dug them up out of thousands of nameless files and left the rest where they belong. 

some of these date all the way back to 2004 
some cover ground with my first official releases in 2006, 2007 
and others are shards between proper albums or EPs. 
a few show glimpses of what would come years later 
and almost all were abandoned or destroyed in self-destructive fits before they could be fully realized. 
this is some of the realist shit i’ve ever made 
and all of it is yours for the taking. 

much love,

Qs 

where is / what about [something not found here]? 
i do not have them. they were either lost in hard drive crashes or blatantly deleted at some point and are now beyond my reach. i spent months digging through thousands of nameless, corrupted and partially recovered files from old hard drives to find these. the rest are lost forever and, while i wish i could have some of them back, i’m glad most of them are gone. 

why are they so short / can you finish them? 
because i either gave up or stopped working on them so they could haunt me later. it worked. they’re finished as-is so consider them debris from my perpetual war.

Sweet! I looked for some of those tracks before, but the Wednesday Sound releases they were in weren't hosted anymore.  Hope the Remnant vinyls make their way out soon, too.  Missed the update on his facebook last week. Looks like this release was the shipping notification!

OMG

Pretty sure a lot of these are on a tape of sorts already no?

can’t wait to dive in!

bunch of these trax have been floating about in various b-side comps already, innit. wish it was split between the ones previously released and anything that's new.

ah, yes, have quite a few of these in other various collections but not the best quality. Good to have HQ versions of these. Solid collection and some real awesome grooves in here

B'gawd this beat.
