Quasar Nebula: (wiki editor)
Thanks to a copyright claim on the stock cloud photo in its album cover, [[album:archive|the original Archive release]] was taken down in July 2018. After workshopping a new cover made from original assets, Bowman worked with [[artist:hadron]] to create the final artwork for this September 2018 re-release.
The track list was also shuffled around, with ten taken from the main list and made into bonus tracks, [[track:awake-archive]] renamed as [[track:awake-2013-version]], [[track:crimesters-credits]] renamed as [[track:emerys-theme]], and [[track:crimesters-theme]] renamed as [[track:emerys-theme-fast-version]].
Michael Guy Bowman: (Bowmantown Discord, excerpts, 9/4/2018)
I've been playing with some ideas for a new version of the cover, I wanted to see what you thought.
Here's a really rough one I put together a few days ago:
Unfinished "Archive" 2nd edition cover.
> oh wow that’s really cool too
> that could be pretty sick
> although I don’t know how well it fits the calmer songs like awake
Interesting, is the EYE too abrasive?
I've considered versions with an all-seeing Illuminati-esque eye on the screen.
What do you think of using a laptop
It's the actual one I used until 2012 so it has special significance.
It's been shopped a little to make it more symmetrical, just like the old picture.
Michael Guy Bowman: (Bowmantown Discord, excerpts, 9/24/2018)
[[artist:hadron|@Hadronus]] did great work on the new art and gave me way more than I expected from the new computer he rendered
The hand was his idea
The clouds are not mine but are purchased with a royalty-free license
I added the same gradient map as before
It should be on Spotify soon and I’ll make a new “best of” playlist
This has been hanging over me for a while so I’m glad to get this done
