Wow... almost three fooking years.Just as the lying nimrod addresses our House, Senate and disgruntled Nation, I too have an address
-- a 'State of the Compilation Address' --
to unveil here tonight.
PMS 7 - Parts A & B: This has been, without question, the most complex, time-consuming, difficult, mishap-plagued project I've ever attempted. For months at a time, this thing has dominated my every spare moment. I have been through 2 cars and 2 computers trying to get it right.
One PC crashed just as the thing was almost done, and crucial finished edits & Nero tracklistings were lost forever. My car (which is the ONLY place I can properly focus & crank this music loud enough to make proper adjustments) broke down -- leaving me without a means to listen OR earn a living for nearly 2 full weeks.
I finally scraped everything I had together for a newer car, and was forced to wait 3 weeks to get the additional money together to swap the damn stereos. After about 6 weeks 'back on track', THAT car blew a head gasket and I was back to square none.
Meanwhile, the computer that was given to me by my ex-wife (the one I actually bought for her 3 years ago 
) to replace the fried '98 model suddenly decided that there was to be NO SOUND when it arrived at my apartment. (BTW any techies who can assist in an eMachines Win XP circa 2003 video card/ audio card Frankenstinian swap would be prasied mightily)
So, here I am... the thing is literally just a few hours away from completion, but I just can't quite get there.
I will tell you that it is WAY worth the wait, and that it far surpasses the first 4 discs in sheer power, variety, and technical adeptness -- and is a MUCH higher concept-oriented, cohesive 'work of art'. (I'm not trying to be pompous ar anything, this really IS an art form. Whether it's good art or bad art is entirely up to the listener)
So there. Any PMSers who are still with me on this thing are in for a treat, I think. (and fear not! Discs 5 & 6 will be much easier to complete, unless a tornado takes out the entire apartment complex)
So let's have a show of hands here, and a show of mailing addresses to:
tangento AT gmail.com
Thanks for listening, you can impeach me anytime now.
