This is becoming all too familiar, at the bottom was my signature on a painting of a shipwreck at sea, the captain refusing to abandon ship. Honestly I never meant to complicate things to the point where I left them. What was clear has become out of focus and somehow I managed to forget that my dress shirt on her shoulders, the answer to my problems. It see it in my… A picture, with no framework, dated last September. I see it in my sleep. At least I’ll admit that everything is on me. At least I’ll admit that I was never really trying. At least I’ll admit that it was probably fucking worth it. It was barely light when I woke up in a startle. Came to the conclusion that not all’s well, ends well. Is this the way to recovery? To talk about my failures?
Plutôt que de remasteriser The Sea Which Has Become Known, pourquoi le faire avec An Extraconscious Lucidity ? Parce que c'est avec ce dernier que Mare Cognitum entrait de plain-pied dans le sous-genre du black metal cosmique. Je ne peux pas vraiment faire de hiérarchie entre cette version et l'originale parce qu'elles ne font pas passer exactement les mêmes émotions : celle-ci permet de mieux entendre les atmosphères et elle prend une dimension plus épique, surtout dans la deuxième moitié.
