I might lose friends over this.

No…REALLY…I'm pretty sure I'm going to lose friends over this, and that honestly makes me very sad on multiple levels. It won't help matters with how I word my opinions below. To my peeps reading this, you'll just have to take me at face value, my words are being aimed at strangers who have been waaaaaay more acerbic with similar opinions to your own.

You guys (and girls? do ANY girls download from me?) have no idea the work I had to put in to extract this damn thing, the near conspiracy-level secrecy that surrounded "who" had this recording…a "recording" that, quite frankly, is subpar even by Confuse's standards.

Essentially, this is an earlier attempt at the Indignation demo, and even has a similar sound. There are no unreleased songs. The recording is atrocious even by Confuse's standards. It's "off" in enough facets (mostly in vocal delivery) that you can tell it's a different attempt at that final demo…BUT…the fact still remains, it's SO close to Indignation's final recording vibe, it makes me wonder why this was treated like the Ark Of The Covenant's pre-credits closing scene in Raiders Of The Lost Ark. It made me wonder SO hard in fact, that it induced one of my trademark epileptic RANTS about HOARDING...

Most people who hoard music do so for one of two reasons:

1. It empowers them, makes them feel special in some way. Maybe they have some failing or insecurity about their lives, and to be part of a "secret club" makes them feel better about themselves. I get it. I've experienced this phenomena in multiple genres since I was a kid. People would do this type of stuff with bootleg vhs ultragore movies and comic books. For a short time, even I played the blue-chip game (that was for a VERY short time though). Owning something "rare" makes you feel SPECIAL, makes you COOL. At it's most benign it's a GIDDY feeling. Hard research and exploration paying off in a spectacular fashion. I STILL get that feeling when I find a rarity…so I understand that part of it.

Except I don't fucking hoard…like YOU.

2. They're fucking selfish and don't bother to hide it. They feel entitled to their hoarding because they had to "work" for these "gems" for literal years. They feel "today's kids" have it too easy with this gosh-durned information superhighway nonsense. My god, people who fall into this 2nd camp sound so pathetic, bitter…and old.

You sound like your DADS…and DAD WASN'T PUNK BRO.

Well hey, I had to work for it too. 23 years to be exact (and counting). I'm old (40 next year). Soooooo…why am I not a hoarding douchebag too? I'm sorry I have this apparent mental illness where I blow out mp3s of government classified Illuminati chants TO COMPLETE STRANGERS. My god, how fucking EVIL of me! I'm completely destroying punk as we know it. I didn't realize BEING NICE had such devastating consequences for YOU and YOU ALONE.

TO THE MEMBERS OF CONFUSE: I have no idea if this will bother you with this being online…I'm honestly working under the assumption that since 28 years have gone by, you won't "care" anymore. I don't know if you'll even hear about this OR find someone to translate my words for you. But I hope there is no animosity. If this upload angers you, my intent wasn't to anger…my intent was to make someone in Indonesia, Russia, or the American midwest happy…to "level" the playing field so to speak, just to make someone happy that they could hear an alternate recording by one of their favorite bands. There are nerdy white people in the west who seem to want to speak "for" you. I often think they mostly go by rumors and assumptions of what they want for themselves. I don't care about their opinions, just YOUR opinions on this.

THE TWIST ENDING: I fucked with the recording. I had to. I did some EQng, and some of that EQng was drastic. This demo was supposedly ripped personally by Passy, and if that's true going by the master's "quality", I can see why this version of Indignation wasn't released…it's unlistenable in the BAD way. Virgins will cry and say the original mix was "perfect". They're lying to themselves. They're delusional, okay? [*see above paragraph on "empowerment"]

It's OKAY to say a GOOD BAND made a BAD RECORDING! You won't lose coolness points lil' bro. You'll STILL be their NUMBER ONE FAN!!! E-V-E-R!

I'm also giving you just 6 of the songs, mixed and packaged together as if it was a bootleg ep. I did this for my own personal amusement. Heads will explode from this WORLD SHATTERING turn of events. I. DON'T. CARE. It's music, not the fucking Ark Of The Covenant. YES I'll catch shit for "truncating Confuse's VISION". Again…I. DON'T. CARE. To me it was simple, I tried my hand at salvaging the recording AS A FAN, TO SEE IF I COULD DO IT…and I think I did an okay job. If it's not up to Confuse's standards, I'll allow THEM to ream me over it. Not YOU…YOU can go bone your anime body pillow. The bogus-bootleg packaging came to me as a jokey afterthought though. All in fun. I repeat, THERE IS NO REAL VINYL BOOTLEG.

After a shitty day made up of a whole afternoon at the job centre, reading this before going to bed put me in a good mood.
