The rot makes it sound like you're listening to a faint broadcast from another planet, one that, in the eons it may have taken it to reach you, may be long dead.
I like the rot, it makes it seem like some kind of lofi shoegaze album that woulda come out in the last couple years as opposed to the last couple decades, but that aura of authenticity to it makes it even better. An album caught on the cusp of being completely forgotten, I’m glad it wasn’t.

@@CennoSoldier That's one of the wonderful things about the internet, where "everything is forever", is how most of it actually isn't.... ... it's only the stuff you don't want preserved that is o_O
@@windowsxp1902 I think the remastered versions are more pleasant to listen to, but the rotted versions are something special and emotional. As Owain put it, it's part of the music
I didn't get the appeal of this at first, but it grew on me by the time it finished. There's something haunting about young passion withered away by the rot of poor archival.
We might be getting a better copy soon - someone on Reddit has tracked down a couple of band members and one might have got hold of another disc of this from someone they gave it to (the masters are AWOL)
I swear the rot version adds so much to the songs. The beautiful last gasps of a group struggling not to be forgotten amidst an uncaring world and aging hardware. You can never be sure what the full intent of the songs were (for instance if the cutting out in stabilizers was intentional), and the only reason we even know they exist is because of a dedicated fan lucking on them.
This rotted version is so creepy to me, it’s like this creation was left sonewhere to be frozen in time and has been discovered unkept and wasting away, like discovering a hidden room in a house. It’s so melancholic how art can just get lost like that, it’s like a ghost from the past , while the world went it just kinda stayed put waiting for someone to come across it. Makes me think about all the lost art that never survived and how this piece just got lucky, kinda reminds me of a Caretaker project
Panchiko makes amazing music. I love their backstory. This version was created with passion and what was available to these friends with a shared passion and the outcome has a special charm to it and I love it. Cool video. ^_^
I love the rotted version of DEATHMETAL so much but goddamn listening to the distorted layered reverb on edibles feels like going through a portal to hell
I do like the rot. It reminds me of when I listened to Muse for the first time. My sister and her friend had found a copy of the Absolution CD in the creek behind our neighborhood and it still played. I was immediately in love. I was shocked the first time I heard it digitally because some of the sounds I had assumed were intentional were actually just a result of the damage to the CD.
The ending to DEATHMETAL on this version in particular is absolutely blissful in the weirdest way possible to me. I love how incomprehensible the song gets near the end. It's like it's destroying itself after letting its artificial beauty leak out among the ears of the listeners. The last few seconds of the song where it silences itself into barely withering out a few more cries easily represents its personified death to my ears, hence its song name, DEATHMETAL. Who knew that disc rot of all things could unintentionally accelerate it to be better than its master recording? (At least in my opinion, again.)
I think the story of this ablum reminds me to always check the CD/Music section of any charity shop I go to. Sure most of the time you're going to find junk that no one wants...or you will find something like this completely forgotten from time just waitin to be discovered.
The rot makes it feel almost more than just a piece of music; I don't know how to explain it, but it gives the music more meaning in a strange way. Just more ethereal idk.
I bet this specific copy would actually sell for quite a bit online with how big the mystery was behind it... Im sure someone would buy this knowing its the original album that started the hunt for the band behind it
i'd still want it, but within 5 years from now the bitrot will make the CD incomprehensible beyond this, or potentially even unreadable. it's potential that it already could have happened since the original rip.
i only ever listened to the original one.. listening to this one from 2000 with this noise on it is kinda weird and scary but makes me kinda sad? i’m not supposed to be so emotional about this but i guess knowing the backstory of this band is doing it for me. also the fact that this is over 2 decades old, and i’m sitting here listening to how this started breaking over the years. i can understand why the band said they like this version more. i’ll stick with the remastered one tho..
i can’t believe the resurfacing of the band is all thanks to some random music lover, god bless him. now i get to experience Panchiko live along with LSD and the Search for God :)

This was essentially Everywhere at The End of Time before it was a thing. I like how it isn't artificial as the disc did rot, unheard of but familiar sounding. Nostalgic music for edgy teens who's now in their thirties.
i get what you mean, but the caretaker has been doing music for over 2 decades, whereas this album only surfaced online in 2016.. heck, i'm pretty sure the caretaker's first album was released prior to the original release of this album even!!
Imma be real, it was kinda of a retarded take of mine to mention EATEOT since it was pretty much everywhere. Despite that, there is a feeling that time just keeps moving on, where even crafted objects loses their quality.
I can't listen to this version at night because it makes me paranoid but god i love this and the cleaned version so much, such a beautiful song. Both versions telling a story like how the backstory of the song goes something fading away, forgotten and almost gone, then coming back like the way it was, but with more experience and story behind it.
i'm loving their new album and super excited to see them live in a few days! it's so wild to think it all started with someone seeing an interesting-looking CD at a thrift shop and deciding to pick it up
I really like how the rot sounds, but it made me a bit paranoid. I might have to go through my CD collection to see if any of them have rotted this badly over the decades.

i honestly would've thought this was a hoax at first too. But i'm really glad it's not. Really good EP along with kicking cars. the data rot of this version is like echoes of a long gone era
I havent looked into this whole story yet, but many people have called this a hoax. Even if it was, wouldnt that be an artistic experience in and of itself
The first song reminds me of one of my suicide attempts. Trying to find the good memories in your head while you fade away, realizing how few there were, and just accepting the fade... fuck man. Glad I'm in a better place mentally. Made me cry though
I have no idea if this is a hoax or not, but if it is the person that made the fake disc rot version is a good audio engineer because I have rotted CD’s from the 1980’s that sound just like this, a hissy wow and flutter type effect to them. Dampness is the quickest way to kill CD’s.
my ex and i listened to this when i first dated her. ITs been almost 3 years now, shes moved on way beyond me, we were together for a bit but we've also been apart for a good good while. I dont know if she remembers our time in a good way or at all, but i'm grateful for her and the time we spent. Memories of it still feel magical, and as the details slowly but surely slip away here and there, it feels like this song represents that same rot of a once good memory.
I never knew this about them, my friends were into panchiko last year and i saw that Panchiko was going on tour with Horse Jumper of Love (my all time favorite band) i asked my friends to come with me but i ended up leaving after Horse Jumper of Love was done playing, im kinda pissed at myself for that
Funny that anyone would think this isn't bitrot. As someone who collects obscure cds like this. This can occur even with scratched cds that aren't CDrs
this is beautiful work, and it still sounds beautiful with the diskrot. however, it just leaves this eerie and disturbing feeling to it, but it still manages to be comforting.
Crazy that this only blowing up only now. Listening to the non bit version was amazing, but this bitrot version is definitely an experience in itself. I do prefer the non bitrot version though.
I love the rot, just like older people feel nostalgic about listening to old vinyl records or cassettes because those formats have their own kind of degraded sound, in this case D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L was recorded around the turn of the millennium and it gives me nostalgia of that era which is old enough for those of us who grew up during it to remember it fondly.
I'm listening to this version first, and knowing I'm almost the same age as this makes me feel old. But it also makes me feel connected to the music in a way. Also it feels a bit spooky, I like it.
I honestly like this "disc rot" version of the album as compared to the original "clean" album. It sounds like that the disc rot is a part of the songs. The disc rot makes the songs sound grittier, which I actually like, to be honest. This version sounds just a little bit better than the original "clean" album.
The rot reminds me of the Disintegration Loops by William Basinski. He makes Ambient music and he did this series of tracks where they all slowly die from the tape looping over and over. Pretty haunting stuff actually. There's a really famous video on TH-cam where he played the first Loop tracks and filmed from his NYC apartment rooftop the smoke from the twin towers being carried away into the night.
The shitty audio version is better for me. It just adds a ton of atmosphere and makes the album feel like an old relic, which goes well with the story behind this rip.
Sucks that the disc rot got to it, but what parts aren't made grating to my ears [seriously, my laptop's volume is on 9 and I have no headphones haha] sound quite nice.
It's like the music is fighting to be remembered
Kinda sad but it won
