about

Retrieved 24-04 Vol.2 is a compilation grouping previously deleleted, unfinished or unreleased material from 2024 to 2004. Available for free.

01.A Fragment Of Infinity (First Draft/Opening Version - 2024)
First draft for the B-Side of High Voltage, an EP scheduled for this year. It serves as teaser and intro to this compilation and new material for 2024. This version has been built as a 99 seconds loop, as it evokes the idea of a fragment of infinity still being infinity. The final version is planned to be 999 seconds long.

02.Timed Production (1st Symmetry Test - 2023)
Very early stage of the production with alternative melody, this snippet had the goal to experiment the symmetrical effect in order to create a counterclockwise version at the same time than the main version.

03.Foam Extinguisher (No Backed-Up Snippet - 2023)
Dirty snippet that was produced before my laptop HDD crashed, and this version was lost. This was recreated later taking this version as model.

04.Mechanical Fellow (Unfinished - 2021)
Song started during the Versus sessions as a Nox track. The main synth sounds like a cute robotic cat meowing, giving the title to this unfinished song.

05.Nox zer0 (Early Incomplete Version - 2019)
First version that was originally scheduled for Diverging Aftermarths, but kept later to become Nox zer0.

06.Space (Unfinished - 2019)
Before being called Diverging Aftermaths, the apocalyptic concept for this 2019 compilation was to explore space astronauts being the only survivor to a nuclear war. This song was originally influenced a lot by The Anix.

07.Cosmos (Unfinished - 2019)
Another attempt to create a song around the concept of space explorers being only survivors of the apocalypse.

08.Behind Bars (Unfinished - 2018)
A strange and creepy snippet retrieved among the Outdoor Incarceration sessions, possibly a very early attempt at creating Everyone Else On Death Row.

09.Prologue (Unfinished - 2017)
An unfinished song from the Generation Z sessions, really similar to Connective Hysteria and Undo The Myth Of Cave.

10.Fragile (Demo/Planned For "Gen Z" - 2009)
An old demo, like Tainted Legacy, scheduled for Geneartion Z. It stayed unused despite being pretty well made for 2009 standard.

11.In Domination We Trust (Unfinished - 2016)
Unfinished song from early 2016, strangely sounding more like Ego than Strategic Failure. Distorted rock bass were certainly experimented with this song.

12.Mourning Humanity (Early Version - 2012)
Started circa 2009 and continued in 2012 with Cubase SX, this version haves the main piano melody near the end that was used for the final version.

13.Reboot:Wave2006 (Cubasis Draft - 2009)
One of the early remix version done for Waveforms back then with Cubasis. It was replaced years later with a more advanced version made with Cubase.

14.Self Introduction (Unfinished Snippet - 2013)
A first and short attempt to create Self Corruption. Works pretty well as a short interlude.

15.Sick (Draft - 2008)
One of the numerous song started and aimed for The Negative Zero, abandonned after some better songs were created.

16.Scandinavia (Deleted/Unfinished Single - 2009)
Badly mixed song but really interesting, it was planned to be a single on The Negative Zero and it could have been an easy fit for Androgyny as well. The song was finally not used.

17.Parking (Very Early Draft - 2007?)
Very early version composed circa 2007, the main melody from it can be briefly heard at the end of the final version as a saxophone sound.

18.SX Track (Pre-"Saturday On Mars"? - 2008)
First song ever composed partially with Cubase SX late 2008. The synth is really close to Saturday On Mars and the song could have been featured on Androgyny.

19.The Shock (Early Version - 2007?)
Noisy and darker version of the song found on a CD burnt circa 2007, experimenting much more with ambient industrial sounds. The harsh sounds were perfectionned a lot on the final version.

20.Mushroom Corpse (Unfinished - 2008)
Too harsh to be featured on Freeside, this song was never used or polished.

21.Soft Machinery (Deleted "Nightside '08" Remix - 2008)
2008 remix that was removed/deleted from the Jawo's Resurrection single when uploaded on Bandcamp, probably due to the poor quality of it.

22.Virtual Souls (Unreleased - 2007)
No idea why this song was never featured as B-Side on the Coma single back in 2007.

23.Flesh & Blood (Deleted - 2005)
Interesting song for 2005 standard that was deleted when Technology was uploaded on Bandcamp. There is a strange stereo/chorus issue occuring at 00:35 that might have motivated me to remove it.

24.New Millenium (Deleted - 2004)
Too simplistic short song that was removed from Curse Dead End when uploaded to Bandcamp.
