    Panchiko was a band that was active for a brief period of years during the dawn of the new millenium. They released two EPs, "DEATHMETAL" in 2000 and "Kicking Cars" in 2001, with no commercial outlet. CDs of the two EPs were passed around to friends and family and never saw the light of day until in 2016 when a 4chan user came across a copy of the "DEATHMETAL" EP. He had picked it up from a thrift store and wondered if the /mu/ board had any information about Panchiko. The nature of the band never expanding beyond those in the know meant no documentation yet existed, and when the original poster provided a very poor rip of the CD, curiosity struck viewers of the thread. A dead-end was met, but the bandname and album was spread around, albeit with little to any notoriety, until in 2017 when my friend introduced me to the album after they had found it on RUclips. At the time the upload had 10 views and was an even poorer quality rip of the already destroyed audio due to compression. I tracked down the original rip and posted it myself to my now defunct channel which, at the time, had garnered a following of 10,000 people. That exposure lead to a much more long-lasting interest that grew over time, and when interest resurfaced to a greater extent during the sensationalism of "The Most Mysterious Song," followers of that and lost media in general inevitably came across Panchiko. It's thanks to those fans who gathered on discord that they eventually tracked down the original bandmembers, and Andy- who now works as a sound engineer, has graciously taken the time to track down copies of the band's projects and remaster them!
    What this album includes is the four remastered tracks from the first EP from 2000, "DEATHMETAL," the following three tracks which made up the 2001 EP "Kicking Cars," and the original data-rot tracks which were ripped by the 4chan user who initially discovered a copy of "DEATHMETAL" back in 2016. It is a labor of love on Andy's behalf, and after 20 years the music of Panchiko is finally seeing it's first commercial release.

    As a sound engineer and producer who works frequently with lo fi recording techniques I have to say that this kind of "rot" can occur on older low quality cd-r's from around the late 90s and early 2000s due to the fact that you literally have to burn data onto some of them. Add to that fact that if it was burnt at the wrong speeds for those discs they will last about 2 months before they start to sound bitcrushed like the songs here but honestly it doesn't take much and can be replicated with some care if you know a thing or two. I know this has been long winded but I have one more small point that the warping you can hear may be from shitty tape they used to record the masters I have to say it is unlikely because if you had warping this bad you would never use those as your masters anyway. Regardless I hope I have shed light on the subject for those who are interested and I will say if this isn't from the early era of cd-r's they have done a spectacular job on the production side, the guerilla marketing is top notch and the album is phenomenal just discovered it and am loving every track

      @@shitocodone8940 it all depends on brand and how old they are, plus if they've had data on them the entire time. For the degradation to occur it needs data on it in the first place to degrade. It might still give you that effect with a fresh burn but I can't speak to the results as I've never seen or done it myself, let me know the results because this could be an interesting use for an experimental band I've been recording lately by mixing the "clean" sound with the rotted one

    i was talking about this with a friend the other day, just imagine the amount of music we’ve lost in the past due to lack of being able to store it. so many old EPs and albums made by nobodies that probably have very good music, lost due to time.
    like think about it, maybe the best song you would ever hear in your entire life was made in the 1980s by a bunch of college students, it just never got popular and is now lost due to time.
    digital music is great, the fact that you can upload your music to a couple of websites completely for free is incredible. i dont think we’ll loose much music now.

Granted, I'm still very much a novice, learning new tricks and things to use to produce the art that I want. But, if you do wish to draw something akin to like how this album is, I implore you, try it. Art is such a wondrous thing I never realized I would love so much till I actually delved myself into it.

    Personally I think this album fits rarely well into the wake of OK Computer. It has similar vibes with the mix of electronic and rock elements with some weird experimentation and generally melancholy tone. The lo-fi rock sound is probably more an element of the recording conditions, but it’s not like weird lo-fi rock was unheard of, Grandaddy being a great lo-fi indie rock band from around the time. I’m not 100% convinced the story behind the album is true, but it’s fairly believable that a group of young guys could’ve made this in the late 90s.

It's not all the time that I have these vivid dreams with music I can recognize so distinctly, so for my brain have chosen that song in particular, especially the one with the lyrics that mentions dreaming, it's all very interesting.
