    I'll say it again. If we got this and all the rest of these tracks released in lossless FLAC, I'd pay extreme money for it.

    ​@@EldeecueI dunno. I think it was more that Cevin and Dwayne had excellent chemistry together. They just complemented each other in ways that led to songs that haven't really been there since his death. All of my favorite albums are the ones he was present for.

    I don't think he can. He has a special agreement to make these and post them on KZread, but I don't think he can release them as an album. Besides, he's a musician, not a distributor. But I would love to get an official remaster of TDP with Ken at the helm.

    Awesome work for one of my favorite SP tracks. I live discovering some of the buried aspects of the original mix, like the guitar work at the end (under "fleas attach themselves consuming"... ). There are definitely places where the vocals feel a bit too quiet and the bass drum too loud. Some of it may be the bass-heavy headphones I'm listening through, but just my take. Regardless, I love that you're doing this. It definitely triggers the nostalgia centers in my brain!

    cEvin has a great three hour youtube video over the making of TDP where he goes into all of that. As I recall, the overwhelming majority of all of it is samples. Definitely on Grave Wisdom the drums are all samples, but I'm not sure how much was triggered live vs programmed. I think it is both.
