# ~[[album:jpeg|.jpeg]]~ 𝓕𝓸𝓷𝓭𝓵𝔂 𝓡𝓮𝓰𝓪𝓻𝓭 𝓘𝓵𝓵𝓾𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷 is a concept album: the team's artists draw some art and the musicians have to make music based on that art, instead of the usual other way around.

# Can it be? After a year and a half in the making, the "Art First Album" is finally out?
# Typically at UMSPAF, musicians produce the music first, then visual artists illustrate every track. For this album, we flipped the script: developing it in the same pattern as [[group:canmt|CANMT's]] [[album:jpeg|.jpeg]], the artists made the illustrations first, and then musicians created tracks based on them.
# The album began work on 23 September 2023. 568 days later, it is finally out in the world. This thing's old enough to walk at this point, but I promise the wait wasn't for nothing. It has some of the best fanmusic I've heard outside a LOFAM (and I'd go so far as to say it rivals a LOFAM in quality).
# So, after that protracted development period, I'm beyond delighted that the wider world is finally getting to...
# **Fondly Regard Illustration**.

# Circlejourney:
# Many thanks to all our artists and musicians for contributing their talents to this album over the course of the past year, and to our mastering team for bringing the sound of the album together. And thanks go out to the manager team for coordinating this album, and Makin specifically for putting together the Bandcamp page, collating the art & music files, and setting up this album booklet. We made this hapen.

# Makin:
# Conditional thanks to all our artists and musicians as long as they never, ever, ever, ever make a SLOT ALBUM again. Even this one was too close.
# Slot albums slow things to a crawl because people drag their feet on picking or finishing that one last track, holding everyone else back... if you elect me as UMSPAF president, I will lobby the United Nations to make freeform albums mandatory. Thank you.
