That cover is stunning haha. The track is extremely well done, i especially love all the background sounds appearing at

... May i know why did you guys consider it was not fitting into juxtaposition ?
for sure i agree with both of your points before and now, the only problem comes with time management because juxta wasn't a small thing it took genuinely a long time, 4 months creating a single album is a lot to dedicate to just one idea. even for two people and nothing is guaranteed about the outcome but like you said if it's possible to achieve it only means that we are capable of creating such things again in the future, maybe not frequently but it can deffo be replicated again.
It was monumentally satisfying to complete a project like Juxta, and I am really proud of what we made together. It wasn't smooth sailing, but the overall experience was great and I learned a lot. I'm glad the outtakes can live in this album, and I also feel the urge to create more additional elements for this album concept.
I did say I'd never do "one-draft album" again because of the horrible draft performance, but I take that back. With everything we learnt from Juxta, we could make it work
But to close off, it needs to be said that I am somewhat regretful that we couldn't easily make everything work as one project. I'm sure that with a bit more effort, and with less of the inherent performance issues that will manifest in big drafts, we could have made something even better. I do feel like I have a tendency to be nitpicky and a bit egocentric at times, which leads me to take executive decisions that might not be entirely democratic. Until the next project, I will work on that :)
