This is the second album released in the Derivative Stuff series.The first album was released under the somewhat generic artist name"J.",and I have now decided to release upcoming albums as"Derivative Stuff" There is no change in band members - it's still just me playing all the instruments.While this is part of the fun, it also means that there is a fair bit of iteration before the final version of a track emerges, and the recording process can be a bit slow.This isn't helped by the fact that I tend to get new ideas during the recordingso that a track can take off in a totally new direction.I usually allow this to happen, as it keeps things interesting; there are only a fewtracks that I have kept on a tight leash on this album. Enjoy! J.
