The story behind this album is actually quite fun. Many years ago, I found a comedy site and the article that made me find it, was one about progressive rock, it was making fun of it, but not in a mean way, you could tell that the guy writing was a fan of the genre. The thing that I really liked about how the article described the genre was: freedom, the artistic freedom that doesn't care and knows no bounds. At that moment I thought it was hilarious and I showed it to my brother, we agreed that, one day, we will make the imaginary album, from the imaginary band that the article was making up in the spot, for comedic purposes, and its name was: Mushroom Sword - The Watchmaker's Complex (We did take some liberties on the song names and length of the album)(also that's where the name of my second channel comes from)
The whole thing was recorded in about 5 days (thanks covid, I guess), we recorded the music together (my brother and I) and then I went on to spit out some lyrics and recorded the vocals.
The problem came later, in the mixing stage, because we recorded way too many tracks, and so, I had to work really hard to try and see what worked and what not, and to try and fit everything together, that did took me like 10 days, give it or take.
And so, here it is, in all of its chaotic and messy glory !

Thanks a bunch to Alpha Shapes for the album art, and thanks to the guy that wrote the article so many years ago. (if I managed to find him on twitter maybe ill let him know, tho he most likely does not remember the article)
