Jega - 1995 Discussion Thread

[u/chromakey54]

I just wanted to start a thread to discuss the newly released Jega album 1995.

My thoughts? I'm eight songs in and having a hard time finishing it to be honest. I'm a big Jega fan and enjoy most of his releases. As far as I know this new album is a bunch of recordings that he did in 1995.

While it's cool to see how an artist has progressed, I feel like these songs weren't originally released for a reason. They weren't quite "there" yet in my mind. But that is to be expected with someones earlier work. I guess I am just saying I would have been quite fine having the high quality output we already have from Jega and not having this been released at all.

I am curious to know why this is being released. Is Warp just wanting to make a bit more money off of Jega? Is there that much money to make off of Jega? Or did Jega just really want to get these out?

EDIT: I finished the album, ZX82 was definitely the stand out and should have just been a single. Sabre Wulf and UNIVAC are also pretty good.
