about

This is a compilation album. These tracks were recorded at various times in various places. The earliest is from 2004; the most recent was finished today (27 April 2022). And, as with every other track we've released, none of these are FINISHED as per se. But it was time to abandon them. So we are releasing them. Sam needs to focus on homework, and if he releases all the shit that he has on his hard drive, then he will be more inclined to stop playing around with said shit and, consequently, less distracted. And more inclined to focus on school. In theory, at least.
