It's A Joy - 2021 Remaster - MP3!
🕑 Added 2021-09-03 21:28:00 +0000 UTCNormally I write a big long description for these, about my thoughts and process. But I've taken so long getting around to uploading this and I have SO little time that I figure you'd rather just have the MP3 and settle for the SparkNotes version!
I always loved this track but it was, at the time, a massively ambitious project for someone with very little musical experience. I'd never attempted such big harmonies or layers before and I really think it showed. The original is one of the few tracks I genuinely struggle to go back and listen to. Not because it's bad, per se, but because I knew I could do it so much better now.
So with needing some time out for this long, protracted move this track was the perfect candidate for a revisit! I'm really happy with how this new version feels, much fuller and impactful. Oxygen did a great job reworking Eskelater's original composition. I hope you all enjoyed it too!
As always, happy to answer any questions in the comments if you have 'em!

Going back and refining some of your earlier work has gotta be a time consuming process, but I think it would be really interesting to see and hear what your current skill could do with "And Then I Prey" That song did start you on this road. And it's been a long road, getting from there to here.

Thank you sir. Tbh, the original had its own kinda charm if I remember right. This sounds more polished, but I was never disturbed by the rough edges of the other version. Anyways, keep up your beautiful journey. Love ya <3
