The Catcher in the Rye OST
 download | hi res cover
|
- Released January 16, 2008.
- Debut album.
- Recorded for an English project. The task was to make an appropriate soundtrack for the book, so we decided to write all our own music.
- All songs are original, except for La Bamba (trad.), Enter Stradlater (parody of Enter Sandman by Metallica), and Straight Outta Pencey (parody of Straight Outta Compton by N.W.A.).
- Everything was recorded live, through one microphone positioned in the center of the room. Only vocals were added separately. Basically, you could say this is two-track recording, so it sounds pretty rough.

- Straight Outta Pencey

Green Light Project

|
- Released March 11, 2008.
- All original material.
- Again recorded for an English project, this time related to The Great Gatsby. The green light on the end of Daisy's dock was a symbol of Gatsby's hopes and dreams. Our task was to describe what our own green lights represent. Only two of us took it seriously.
- The recording is a little better than on Catcher. Many instruments were still recorded simultaneously, but most tracks have bass and vocals mixed separately.
- Engineer
- Astronaut To Earth
- Sonic Absorption
- Flying Ace
- Jedi In Jeans

Death Metal of a Salesman

|
- Released June 11, 2008.
- Third installment in the English class project series.
- To illustrate Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman, we attempted to present the themes of the play through sound. Forgoing lyrics, we sampled audio from the movie adaptation, read aloud from the play, and composed an instrumental track.
- For the first time, all instruments were recorded and mixed separately, resulting in superior sound quality compared to the first two releases.
- Death Metal of a Salesman
- You're Just What I Need
- A Perfect Proposal
- I Know Who I Am
