Hello again, Antisoc – back from the hermitage.
I’m here to announce the completion of Anomalous Materials Laboratory. This means that I’ve just finished doing any last minute touch up work that I could hear and sending it on for review/feedback purposes. But according to my ears, this album is ready.
I’m gonna go ahead and set my release date: October 1st.
I need to write a rap song where each word starts with a. I think it would be about one rhyme.
But I digress…
Feast your eyes upon the wonder that is the album art for Anomalous Materials Laboratory:

Coming early October, I will be releasing this wondrously over hyped album.
Apparently I was too soon. Drunken Podcasting Month is September. Oops.
However, I really enjoyed doing this, and with Garageband, it was pretty freaking easy to organize.
Expect the *real* Drunken Podcasting Month podcast to be actually recorded in September.
Irregardless! This is a great podcast where I share some of my all time favorite music.
It is also my first podcast.
I always said that AML would be released when HL2 Episode 3 was released. This was because I was still in the very early stages of making the album and didn’t want to set any definite release date. I thought when I finally got the album complete, Valve would be about done with it, and I could release it same day.
HOWEVER… THEY ARE TAKING TOO D@#% LONG!
I am aiming for an October release date. I plan to have everything wrapped up on the album in a few days time, with some extra time for that final polishing touch.
AND HERE’S THE KICKER…
I am not going to be releasing the vast number of songs on this album that I originally planned. Here is my reasoning:
The first release will indeed be called Anomalous Materials Laboratory, and will include all my Half Life themed tracks, as well as a collection of sci-fi themed instrumentals, and some other songs that I thought would fit the mood of that release. Expect a very worthwhile album!
And fear not! I will be eventually releasing Depressed Nerd 2.0 and Captcha. Hopefully before years end, but I’m not making any solid release dates for those yet.
