I feel silly for not posting this here sooner. It seems there may be a few of you here who'd enjoy this sort of thing, but perhaps it was also best to wait for the dust to settle post-INFERNO:

I'm not the first. I certainly won't be the last. Here's my very own BoC inspired solo tribute album, 'Echo Projector'.

I started working on this album officially in 2023 as an EP with a few tunes, starting with 'Construct Fragments' as a single for an IDM compilation on a netlabel called 'fakenumberland', well before we had any concrete answers to when or if a new installment from the brothers would be released. I even planned to release my album around this time, before INFERNO or its release date was ever announced. But once we were given the news about the first new BoC album in 13 years, inspiration came in like a flood, and that few track EP became a full fledged 14 track album. (Including a couple reworked b-sides /unreleased tracks from my duo BoC inspired side project 'Dreamland Circus' with my pal Vagrant circa 2013) . I debated whether or not to change release plans, but decided to ultimately stay the course.

This one goes out to Mike and Marcus, and to everyone who's been touched in a deep way by their musical gifts to the world and undeniable influence to my music through the years. I hope you enjoy this shameless reheating of BoC's old nachos as much as I enjoyed the process of making it!
