Of course spending time with a DOS based tracker program making heavy metal! And I guess even cooler is when you make a few 2h cassette copies out of that stuff 20 years later! I remember starting off my tracker career with Fast Tracker II in 1999 doing some covers and original songs (3-5 min), then around millennium shifting to most lenghtiest tracks that were possible to do within the pattern limits. On this compilation the material is from the later era, starting with the long tracks that have little to none repetition. Side A consists of the last ~20 min songs that I made. By then I had found my sound so to speak, besides drums and bass there were guitars in both channels and occasional other instruments. I remember finding most of the samples from someone’s XM file of Metallica's Until it Sleeps that had the best sounds I had come across (now I hope he doesn’t rip my throat as promised on the file info!). • Finding the time dates to side A tracks proved to be quite an impossible task since I hadn't written them down anywhere and the timestamps on the files were rewritten. I knew that they were made before 2004 but not much more. When searching info from my old hard drives I found a backup that included an early version of 1000 that was dated in late November 2001. So it wasn't finished until 2002 and the rest of the tracks, 3000 and 3001 followed that (notice the highly imaginative naming pattern). The opening riff of 1000 was actually made for another epic collage way before and here I mostly modified the drum beats to get some twist to it. By then I was slowly getting a grip of drumming so the drum tracks were made somewhat humane and possible to play. I remember being heavily influenced by Annihilator, Down my Throat and Sepultura at the time. • 2004 saw me returning to more conventional song lenghts after the 13 min B-side opener Quatorlogy . Around those times I had discovered many extreme bands like Carcass and Rotten Sound that pushed me to do more blast beats and heavier songs overall. But on the other hand the material got more versatile than ever with occasional bass grooves, weird keyboard sections and such. During the spring 2004 I had some spare time to concetrate more on the individual tracks and arrangements than just putting a riff and a beat after another. I recall planning the album and envisioning to get all 12 songs played with a full band some day. That never happened but much later I managed to lure some parts and even one whole track ( Hyperior ) in my bands' repertoire. Those 12 were also the first songs that I put out publicly on the web to get some feedback. Only a handful of people had heard them before that. • The bonus section was perhaps the most interesting part when compiling the tape since I hadn't really listened to that stuff in ages. I put those short drafts and random collection of ideas in chronological order and played them without pauses and it worked perfectly. So they are now back to back under the title “Endless Noise”. I happened to stumble upon “Second Disfunction” just recently and apparently that was the last tracker song that I ever did in early 2005. It seems that the material was getting more and more technical, at least the drum patterns and section transitions were more interesting than before. Eventually I found my way into midi based software like Power Tab and Guitar Pro and said bye bye to the tracker madness. But anyway: • Tracker or die! • -JK 1.12.2018
