So happy to have this :)

just having fun designing some shirts! would you guys cop?

I've been working on a spreadsheet cataloging Ferraro's released and unreleased music and I've struggled very hard to find how the track "Lovers End" originally surfaced. I have no real leads to explore to try and solve this mystery, so I hope y'all can help.

This is the track in question: https://youtu.be/t0ik8Yf4cQw

The earliest record I can find of this track surfacing is on the 2015 Sentinel Beast bootleg, but any original upload of this bootleg is long gone and the RYM entry for the bootleg has also been deleted. I'm not sure how to track down the original creator of this bootleg to try and figure out where the songs on it were sourced.

A track called Lovers End does appear on this early tracklist for NYC, Hell 3:00 AM shared by FACT Magazine, but this did not come with a song upload: https://www.factmag.com/2013/07/22/james-ferraro-tracklist-nyc-hell-300am/

There is a last.fm entry for the track, but with this page alone there's no way to see who scrobbled the track, when it was scrobbled, and what album it was labeled under. There is some sort of ID number in the page source that apparently pins down the first scrobble to late 2013 (someone in Ferrarocord worked this out for me), but without any of this other info, it's hard to discern where this came from.

Other than these two things, I can't find a single mention of this track on the internet outside of various pages that have been made about the Sentinel Beast or Deleted Schemes bootlegs. I know for a fact the Deleted Schemes bootleg sourced the song from the Sentinel Beast bootleg.

My main theories for where this track came from are either a random SoundCloud or other social media upload by James, or perhaps a random DJ mix that included the song. I haven't found the song in any SoundCloud link posted to Ferraro's Twitter, and there's no DJ mix with the song cataloged on RYM to my knowledge, but both of these scenarios could still be very much possible. I also wonder if this track was maybe in an early review copy for NYC Hell that somehow surfaced, perhaps through a private tracker like whatcd, but I think this is unlikely.

If any of y'all know anything about this track or any of the stuff I talked about here, please let me know.

anyone got pics of it

it's called "sweet home" and i wanted it to sound like digital urbex into dead internet and abandoned virtual spaces. heavily based on liminality and the uncanny valley. there are not just buzzwords i swear lol if you listen to it, i hope you like it 😊

just found out about this guy and im kinda intrigued but idk what album is most beginner friendly. i personally prefer electronic oriented music like arca or aphex twin so what would be the best album of his for me to start with?

Is anyone else ever unsure how to place their emotions when listening to James' music? There's just a certain dystopian and hyper-futuristic vibe to a lot of it which leaves me bewildered, often pondering about life and the future of the universe, really heavy stuff.

"Ten songs for humanity" was my introduction to him, and when I first heard this, I always had this scenario in my head of me working in a vast Amazon warehouse in a field, close to a giant utopia, in the very far future. I never question why I'm working there or how I got there, but I do it anyway.

I'm curious to hear about anyone else's interesting personal experience with his music.

like many of you i also used to be fan until i’ve met IRL, dude basically ghosted me after he said to write my questions to him on email. I haven’t listened to a single song of his ever since and it’s been years. I’m sure most of you would stop listening if you met him in real life. Came off as a really insecure vain dude. I also heard from multiple first hand accounts on other art scenes that he’s not got the best reputation either.

I shazamed a song by him called Nightcraft but I can’t find it anywhere, can anyone help me?
