Currently working on… (3)

With the release of the LONG awaited ‘Immortality Inhibitors‘ by xlivid last night, I’ve been working on the catalog page today. Half of it has already been added, still need to do the ones that are already mentioned on this site somewhere. Also to do, add lots of old artwork from the releases that are not available anymore. And it seems that I need to update a few old image links that are currently a nice error 404…

Speaking of… Error 404… I just found the master CDR’s back from both the DUMNN (2002) and numb (2004) demos by Yrrwe Zsuzyrrwe! Aye! And ‘Error 404’ was a song released on numb and the 2006 album ‘Look What I Found In The Fridge’. So, expect those 2 demos up this week as FREE 11-track album (KRR114) on my exploding Bandcamp page. (edit from author: it will be 10+1. That bonus track is something special… You can ask Miss Arrogance below to verify. AND DAMN – I LOST THE VOCALS! Your fault! LOL- kidding, I still think of you.)

Again, my apologies in advance for the massive amounts of data slapped in your face at the moment but, now is the time to do it or it will never happen. Don’t think I’m trying to spam, I just did a shit-lot in the past and I work fast. Thanks for understanding. Or not. :p

Oh, and this was YZ in 2005:

xlivid – Immortality Inhibitors – KRR118 – OUT NOW!

Yes, the album that was never officially released. Pre-mastering was already done so I don’t have to change much except for the tags. This will be a quick one as it will be uploaded as it was archived in 2006 when we finished it.

However, while digging thru the archives, I stumbled upon a very interesting back-up folder. Hiding a few different versions done between 2005-2007… And some are quite different. One of those was the REAL (instrumental) ‘Stuck In Time’ version from Time, which was eventually released on the _II DJ Promo. It made me grin a bit, because it’s instrumental, as many in that particular folder. And it also had a song ‘Remember me’ sung by Zania. I think it’s the only version that still has the vocals because most of the _II vocals by me, Zania and Irre got lost when the laptop was stolen after we recorded them. Some were still left in a back-up, most of the newer vox gone lost.

Just imagine the size of my archive. I even get lost in it sometimes…

edit: Oh, and this was the front in 2006 for the booklet:

xlivid – _II (2006 Artwork Front Booklet)

_II (DJ Promo) now available!

Now available, the first new xlivid songs from the album that was never released. This is the promo that was given for free to DJs (and I think I still have a few around somewhere).

All original 4 songs included, exactly as they were. I did not remaster them, so credits go to Geert de Wilde for mastering. Check it out here!

xlivid – 2ND REVOLT (KRR113)

An extremely easy to master EP except that all kicks were totally off and too much in the center equalized. Had a lot of fun with this one!

This is not the average power noise banger like you’re normally used to hear from me but it still remains a bouncy Dark Electro/Industrial/Aggrotech EP. And… you can hear me sing. Bad, I know, but I do.

Edit: Online now!

Planning?

Ok, with all 2002 released material from Yrrwe Zsuzyrrwe back up and running on Bandcamp, time has come to work on the next ones. So far I still have to dig through dozens of old versions that are sometimes slightly different, sometimes a lot.

It’s not the difference in versions that holds me back, it’s the audio format that sometimes gives me headaches. Some are only 128kbit mp3, some are even WAV. Some are leveled pretty well, some are way over the 0db. Which makes it sometimes impossible for me to master them to pleasant levels. However, I’m getting the hang of it and enjoy doing it myself.

I’m gonna work on the following material in the next weeks:

• Condomium (Its only album) – KRR111
• 8punkt3 (The only demo) – KRR112
• xlivid (2ND REVOLT and the album that was never released!) – KRR113/117/118
• Yrrwe Zsuzyrrwe (Both demos and ‘Look What I Found In The Fridge’) – KRR114/115
• The Wannabe Project (Which is too hilarious to mention though…) – KRR116
• HTH (Early demos that were pushed over to Ex Livid) – KRR119
• Actum Ne Agas (Very early demos) – KRR120
• Ex Livid (Well… this is going to be a tricky one…) – KRR121/122

And then… I’ll dig my way through my archives and will synchronize bandcamp with it. If there is anything still missing (which is 100% possible), then I’ll remaster it and upload it to bandcamp in the end to complete the collection.

Cheers, Marco.
