So here it is, the final part of the track-listing. Yes, this would be a double album:
Mirror
01 – Reflection II 2:00
02 – Explosion I 5:00
03 – Explosion II 6:00
04 – Violence 5:00
05 – Blood 7:00
06 – Witness 6:00
07 – Reflection III 8:00
08 – Freedom 10:00
Track times are estimated before recording.
After giving this album a lot of thought, I realize this has taken quite a lot more time than my usual. Here are the dates of previous albums (or collections) in comparison.
One (instrumentals) – 1992
Two (instrumentals) – 1993
Three (instrumentals) – 1994 (scrapped)
-note : all instrumentals eventually became songs
Trilogy – 1994
-note: what I would call songwriters diarrhea tossed into three mood piece collections, eventually fleshed out more, and many became completely different beasts
Vaccine – 1995 (scrapped, most songs went to Lifeless and Shattered)
Chameleon – 1997 (scrapped, most songs forgotten, some went to Lifeless)
Green – 1998 (scrapped, songs went to Lifeless, Titan)
Ivory – 1998 (scrapped, songs went to Frozen and The Trial)
-Note: These four never felt right, I had to start over as I was forgetting songs. One song I called ‘untitled’ I humorously use to reference this mistake as I remember it being so good, but it remains forgotten.
The Trial – 1998 – First concept album.
Lifeless – 1999 – A typical collection of songs, no central concept.
Shattered – 2000 – Incredibly intense industrial (III) album written after hearing Nine Inch Nails. Ends with one of my favorites.
Controlled – 2000 – Beat versions and mixes of Shattered songs.
Frozen – 2000 – My favorite piece, finally found out how to write atmospheric songs the way I want them.
Red – 2001 – Mostly instrumental, incredibly evil sounding.
Titan – 2001 – Anti War album, everybody writes these right?
Colour Emotion – 2001 – Experiment on emotion, every track feels completely different but feels good on a whole.
Black Room Stereo – 2002 – Somewhat Shattered sequel, dark ambient industrial.
Lines – 2002 – My big breakdown album, everybody writes these right?
Changed – 2003 – Second part of breakdown album.
Metal – 2003 – Frozen done backwards, industrial style
The Pendant – 2005 – First full concept album (done on purpose) since The Trial.
I Breathe Blue Smoke – 2007 – A 7 track masterpiece (yes I love it) based on city life.
Effigy – 2007 – Black Room Stereo sequel of sorts, far more metal sounding, written before I really got into metal. No seriously.
Glass / Mirror – 2009 – Concept album about lies.
Well.. that wasn’t so bad.
