In the previous post about Thanatos tapes being transferred to digital I noted that I have no idea what was ON the tapes for Blisters. It turns out that those tapes had ALL the tracks. The reason this is interesting is that the record was partly recorded using a half inch 8 track and partly done with a 16 track cassette. Much of the record was created with virtual instruments and samples. I honestly thought may things would be missing.
There are, unfortunately, entire songs that are missing from the 8 track masters and I regret those can never be recovered (the source material is gone). There will be no Splinters remix! NOW. I don't feel like this record NEEDS much in the way of remixing so that is a good thing. But I have ideas for possible ways to "repurpose" these tracks and do new versions.
As to the first Thanatos record, this endless night inside? It is transferred as well and, over time, Jason Donnelly, aka DJ Puzzle) will be remixing the record. He has his own life and work so I suspect this won't be done tomorrow but he is on it. Once I figure out what to do with these transfers I will likely get around to doing the same for An Embassy to Gaius. I have the digital versions of at least part of I Am Not Job and Coyote in the Graveyard as already.
As to the image here on this little post....The Thanatos Comes Alive!-Part 1 (The 90s) recording will be up streaming at Spotify and all the other streaming sites on May 27 (or thereabout). Yes the image is different from the Bandcamp one but these things happen. Packages from the kickstarter for this are still sitting here waiting to be shipped....but I had a HERNIA operation so I have been hobbling around a lot lately. I will still get them to the folks who helped out well before the deadline put forward!
I spent time today reading and revising lyrics for a Christmas ep and the next prospective Thanatos full length, Love Songs for the Indigent. I still hope to have both recorded this year.
