I have spent the past year and a half working on this version (since: Sept 2022)
The original intention of this 're-edit' or 're-imagining' was to create a studio version of Noctourniquet which was more inline with how they were performing the songs live around 2011-2012.
Some of the tracks inevitably began to take a life of their own over the course of the 1.5 years that I was working on them. (ex: Vedamalady -Acoustic)
Work Notes:
I added additional parts where I thought they were necessary to fill arrangement gaps.
(The Malkin Jewel & Zed were Blocked by YouTube when attempting to load, that is why jus the opening segment to each are present. )
Background:
'In 2011, TMV initially performed most of these songs at SBSW, then at subsequent shows. We had to wait an entire year (March 2012 for the album to be released), During that year we had to imagine what the studio versions of these songs would be like. Myself: when I finally listened to the album, I would say that some of the tracks were far different than I anticipated. Over the past 10 years, I had been considering redoing most of the album into the way I had imagined it in 2011. With the advent of newer track separation technology, they had made that sort of possible for the most part. With the addition of a little elbow grease a lot of time.'

Work Notes:
With the recent advance in track separation technology, I was able to isolate each song down to individual sections in order to build them back up to a new mix.
I was able to use several sections of 2011-2012 live performances and incorporate them with the studio versions. (creating hybrid versions)
Additionally: I used sections of several ORL and other TMV songs. For example there are:
Bass Guitar sections from: Flea, Eva Gardner, etc.
Drum sections from: Thomas Pridgen, John Theador, etc
There are quite a few easter eggs throughout the entire album, so I will let you listen through and see if you can identify them.
One example: I used John Theodor's drums from Cicatriz Esp for the verse of one song, while using Flea's Bass from another Deloused track in the chorus.
I also used drum sections from Clouds/Orchestrina through many of the tracks.
