about

Despair & Future were the first two tracks I ever recorded using software. Prior the late 2001 recording session that resulted in these two songs, I'd previously only been using hardware gear. Both tracks were included on the now long out of print "Dying Morality" single (under different names).

During my hiatus from music production, I lost the master files to all of the original CDR releases C/A/T did in the early days of the Crunch Pod label. While digging through some barely functional 15 year old external hard drives this past weekend, I found the original wav "masters" of these two songs.

I've decided to throw them up on here on Bandcamp as an interesting flashback to the very early days of C/A/T. Especially now as much of that material is lost to time.

Got this back in '09 and was immediately sold, been following Cyanotic ever since. Blared it in Sydney 24/7 and I was shattered when I lost the CD & tracks I'd saved to my HDD when I moved overseas. Thank the machines for Bandcamp. pimpdaddyprime
