***UPDATE!!! So I actually got to speak to the guy that made this along with Dorn Byg recently on FaceBook Messenger. The man gave me permission to credit him as M. Travis, and I was able to ask a few questions regarding the release!
It’s finds like this that make me appreciate the internet. So much art and knowledge, hidden to time, now have their chance again to be seen and heard and appreciated for what it is. Even if you’re not fond of the music, it still has its audience somewhere. Thanks for sharing your little gem with us.
the spooky thing about this is the forensic exercise. this is an estate sale find/a masterpiece of foregone longing. my ears are wearing its dusty hide!
Wow, I was playing some Khruangbin Vibes in the background and this mix came up on auto-play. Thank you RUclips algorithm and uploader for sharing this.
Reading the description finding out you found this at Used Kids Records. That’s awesome my girlfriend is from Columbus and took me there a few months back. Super cool store with a deep selection
Might I recommend, because I just learned how to create chapters for my uploads as well, that you take your track listing you already have in your description, and then the trick I wasn't aware of, until now, is that you need the first one to be 0:00 and you also need to put the timestamps at the far left as the first line of text in each row... So those are the two most important tricks that you need to know. The first one has to be 0:00, and every single last timestamp needs to be at the far left with the text to the right of it being the name of the chapter. I can actually confirm this through the only video I have been trying to add chapters to, because I encountered all the relevant evidence of this being the strict rules that you must follow. First off, before I was trying to make them work as chapters and I had the numbers to the right of the title I had thought I was forced to use 0:01 as the timestamp for the first section, bc the 0:00 I entered would never show up as blue text, and converted to a hyperlink. At the time I had no idea It was only because 0:00 has special status as the indicator of a chapter heading which has been initiated so If you put it somewhere that does not fit the format, it will just refuse to change it to blue text. If you are using it properly to initiate your chapter headings, there is no need to type 0:01 instead... Secondly, you do absolutely need every single one of your time stamps to be at the far left of that row of text . Simply changing one of them, as I found out when I changed my epilogue to have the timestamp to the right of the text, is all it takes for it to disable every other chapter. So not only did the epilogue not get a chapter (which was actually my goal, hoping to have that not listed as a chapter and not show up in the progress bar when people try to fast forward and rewind, but still have the time stamp there in the description and nope... As soon as it saw one time stamp that didn't fit the format it likes, it erased all chapters. It just assumes unless you follow this format, you just wanted a timestamp for some other reason. And it's even one of your timestamps is not intended as a chapter... it does not think you want or really it seems more like it thinks you do not DESERVE to have any chapters, whatsoever. I may even go into the MP3 files I just downloaded, and utilizing the length of the tracks listed when I open them up to play the files now extracted onto my internal storage, and create the entire track listing with timestamps given in the correct format. But i would do that in a separate comment on its own so it can get up voted and pinned. And it is you that must do this in order for the chapters to be generated, which are really helpful because as soon as you start to scroll through the file to fast forward or rewind you will now see each track title and you can very easily navigate the album, whereas If it gets upvoted or pin a comment left by me. It will not generate the chapter headings. So anyway before I go do that cuz it shouldn't really take me that long, I will just demonstrate what it would look like without even looking at the names of the real songs... 0:00 track 1 (2m43s) 2:44 track 2 (2m09s) 4:53 track 3 (3m18s) 8:10 track 4 (2m36s) And apparently this is a pop punk album or something cuz those are mostly really short track lenghths... But yeah, I added the length of each song as well and showed that I am putting it in a different format because otherwise it will confuse the fuck out of the algorithm and you won't get any fucking chapters and the same would happen if you didn't put any of the time stamps at the far left of the row or if you did not begin the process with the first song at 0:00. But I actually cannot recommend adding the information about the length of each track since if you do that it will make that part of the name of the track. So anything you put to the right of the timestamp will show up as the name of the chapter and If there are any tricks to avoid this, I don't know them yet. Hope my comment is helpful and I might very well create the track listing for you. I just can't do the chapters for you. And since you went to the trouble of creating a download, which will make it really easy... I might do that because it could help people out in the interim to navigate the album but it also would make it so easy for you that you just need to copy paste my comment into your description. See you on the flippity flip...
I figured it was gonna be one of those hardcore albums where the vocalist kinda fucks up the gig with the gutteral pig noises etc. Sounds more like REM.. good stuff, figured i was gonna click off as soon as the vocals came in but i can tell this one is gonna grow with me.
Recognizing that this may be a forgotten oddity, it's just great, combining many influences and sounds. Do you know when this was recorded? It seems like a LOT of really good bands may have lifted a few ideas from this. I'm hearing some Clinic, Black Angels, REM, etc. Pretty amazing.
my vote is for folk rock or psychedelic rock. don't really see how this is shoegaze tbh, only thing that gives me shoegaze vibes in this album is the extremely lo-fi production. It doesn't seem like it was their intention though, but the nature of the tracks being from a very old uncared-for tape

Yea. As far as discovering weird music thank the heavens for RUclips
What the fuck are you talking about? This sounds awful, and the internet and social media will be the downfall of humanity.

Bob Dylan and Bardo Pond I totally hear it
really cool find! thanks for sharing 🤎
net weaving has never not lead me to a treasure trove
so cool, i hope he's able to upload more of his stuff soon
Damn. This is amazing. I’ve been in a songwriting rut lately and I can tell this is gonna hoist me out of it ❤
Honestly pretty epic, music that I would've never heard in my life if I didn't click this video.

See you on the flippity flip...
i’ve listened to this all the way through like 5 times already
Thank you for sharing this. reminds me of told slant
I like your Silent Hill 3 propic
can someone post the album as individual songs
wow this is good. ty.
Room filled with smoke
this is pretty cool. thanks for sharing
This is appreciated.
A cassete rip longer than 60 minutes. I’ll need to use one of my 90s for it 😂
Wow. Thank you.
helluva find

Yeah I too though this would be some old school death metal etc. since it gets usually suggested by the algoritm.
32:15 made me feel nostalgic. Of what I'm not sure
same
This sounds a lot like a young Richard Ashcroft.

Nothing on the release says when it was recorded. I'm saying late 80's/early 90's.
woah?
what genre does this fall under do y'all think? it gives me shoegaze vibes but i think there's a bit more than that going on
Ehhh just Alt Rock heh
my vote is for folk rock or psychedelic rock.
don't really see how this is shoegaze tbh, only thing that gives me shoegaze vibes in this album is the extremely lo-fi production. It doesn't seem like it was their intention though, but the nature of the tracks being from a very old uncared-for tape

31:56 Roy Montgomery vibes.
You played the new Silent Hill?
I have. Best Silent HIll Game for a loooong time... A lil disappointed in some aspects, but James' VA was fucking incredible.
:(
