A lot of memories have come up for me this week when working on this album. I have a feeling I'll be writing quite a bit about it as the project progresses. That was a really interesting part of my life, 1997 - 2000, and it's kind of amazing to see how long ago that was now because it only feels like maybe a decade ago to me personally.
I'm feeling really good about my newest template and mixing plan overall as well, and I'd dare say that it's working. Hell knows, it's been a very long time in the making. Now, to be honest, most albums aren't quite as easy to mix as this one but still. I truly feel like I turned a page and have put my lessons learned to good use. I kind of feel like I finally graduated the "course" and earned my diploma.
I guess I need to start thinking about the artwork for the release. I'm certainly going to do something similar to the original album cover but I think the booklet and/or tray card will be completely different since I was never super pleased with my designs from back then. I've found working on album artwork to be much more satisfying over the past 5 years so I'm not too terribly stressed about it but I do want to start thinking about a plan.
Also, I've been pondering heavily what work I'd like to get done for the rest of the year and then also what I'm putting on the docket for 2026. It's quite a list, let me tell ya, and it should be interesting.
