the write-up for the record has been corrupted and will need to be corrected.
the purpose of inri085 is to provide an alternate 2xlp for inri052/inri063 to complete the sequence of alternate 2xlp sets, but while these records contain material written from 2000-2002, they were not completed and constructed until 2014 and 2015, and as such do not have original release forms to reconstruct. what i can do instead is compile the tracks in such a way that they are maximal in every way, relative to the year 2002.
all of these tracks were initially incomplete demos recorded from 2000-2002; some of them had sean singing on the initial demos and some of them did not. all of these tracks (except stress) were completed as instrumental recordings over 2014-2015 and compiled into my 5th and 6th records, which were then backdated to 2001 and 2002.
for this recording, the following things were done:
1) stuck in the middle..., a midi demo from late 2000 that was completed in 2014, was replaced with a vocal version created in 2017 (after avoiding one in 2014)
2) the intersection..., a midi demo initially from 1998 and initially on inri015, was replaced with the maximal version remixed for inri015 in 2016
3) to spin..., a guitar & drum machine demo from 2001 that was completed in 2014, may be replaced with a vocal mix. i am resisting this.
4) clarity, fuck boxes and time (unstuck) were initially rabit is wolf demos with sean singing that were started and left unfinished from late 2001 to early 2002. these tracks were remixed from source to exclude sean's vocals and then completed as jjjjjjjjj tracks over late 2014. for this compilation, sean's vocals gave been mixed back into the versions that were created over late 2014.
5) untitled, a midi demo from mid 2002 that was completed over 2014 and 2015, was replaced with a maximal guitar concerto remix created in 2017.
6) lalalala, a rabit is wolf idea from late 2002 that was left stranded until it was completed in early 2015, has been replaced with the vocal mix that was created at the same time as the album mix, in 2015.
the official final forms of these recordings remains in the almost instrumental inri052 and the totally instrumental inri063. however, this 2xlp set presents a novel alternate vocal mix of the record, in order to ensure that all official lp recordings (inri/inri015, inriched/inri021, inridiculous/inri033, deny everything/inri041, jjjjjjjjj/inri052, jjjjjjjjj^2/inri063, ftaa/inri081, {e}/inri093) have both official instrumental/sample-less and alternate vocal/sample-centric versions, updated relative to their final forms.
these tracks were written over 2000-2002, partially recorded in 2006, remastered or rebuilt from scratch over 2014-2017 and augmented and combined into this form in 2022. as always, please use headphones.
