Ok..I lied. Technically, this is most definitely not a new album..but it is free. This is one for every Witchman fan that ever bought my stuff in the first place and wondered what the hell ever happened to my second album.

The story goes like this...after Explorimenting Beats I recorded a follow up album "Innasylum". After delivering the album, the label deemed it too "uncommercial and downtempo". So, back to the drawing board I went, to write a few more ear-friendly tracks, ha!. On delivering the album I was promptly shelved in favor of another *cough* Trance artist with whom I shared the label and was raking in the cash for the powers that be. While i understood the logical thinking behind the decision, it became infuriating. After almost 2 years of gathering dust I left the label and the album in a bitter cloud of disgust, packed my bags and left for NYC. After such a lengthy period I couldn't support the release. I had moved on both technically and creatively. The whole process with the label left an incredibly bad taste in my mouth and as such I had no real passion in recording a new album.

That was 7 years ago! Last week I came across the album while unpacking the new studio.

So ladies and gentlemen, please feel free to follow this link and enjoy:

I believe you have 7 days to download this puppy, after that, it's gone. At least until i upload to the Witchman website server, which knowing me..could well never happen.

Bare in mind the album was recorded back in the stone age (99_2000) and as such I would sure as hell never release it commercially. It's a document in time. Incidentally, this is not the original intended play list, a couple of tracks were taken off (Mekong, Gotham City Rockers) as I never really liked them, but the label did. They have been substituted for tracks I had originally intended for the release, Sweet Waters and Sleepwalkin' the Apocalypse. New artwork has been embedded as the original art was destroyed.

The Masai tribe have a great saying, "the past is another country, I no longer live there" which pretty much sums up how I feel about this album. While I no longer live there, it was enjoyable taking a return trip for an hour.

Thank you to everyone that has supported me over the years, hopefully there will be some bits and pieces within this recording you like. If not..hey it's free...delete it.

Till next time.

John
