A Note from the Warehouse
SIGMA GAME has shipped, very limited quantities of THE ONLY SKULL available
Sigma Game has shipped to 99% of the backers that we have shipping information for. If you haven’t received your book, or a shipping notification, it is likely that you missed responding to an email from us at some point. Send an email to castaliashipping@gmail.com if you are still waiting to receive your book and we’ll get it sorted out.
In other news, there are a very limited number of copies of THE ONLY SKULL CD from Soulsigma available. 100 copies were made for the backers and a few of my friends, and there are no current plans to make any more. I think about 20 are left. It contains 12 original songs, including two Byronics, all of which were written by me, recorded with Suno 4.5, and professionally mastered by Mix Genie.
Here is one example, THE SHINING WIRE, which is the seventh track on the CD. It’s almost certainly one of the very few songs ever inspired by WATERSHIP DOWN.
Shining wire that cuts so deep
Whispered secrets we must keep
Inlé calls, but fears entwine
Mortality in silver fine
Okay, the wire in the trap near Strawberry’s warren was actually copper, not silver, but I elected to exercise my artistic license there because silver not only flows better, but also conveys a thematic link to mortality. Look, it’s a book about talking rabbits, so accountability to realism was really never on the table.
And for those of you who insist on living in the 21st century, 11 of the 12 songs can be found on Spotify and Apple Music for digital download.
I recognize it can be difficult to profess thanks without obsequiousness, but, eh. Thanks so much, Vox. I marvel at your drive and accomplishments. I'd call you a Renaissance man, but given the recent clarity that the Enlightenment was a lie, I wouldn't make you stand the shame. I need to do better to maximize my own time talents. I really do appreciate it, very much.
I only wish that One Last Breath were included on The Only Skull album. Perhaps it's available on a different album, and I'm just missing it? Anyway, keep kicking ass, God bless you.
