  I felt that Destructo was a lot more serious than I usually make, and I decided with The, I'd return to Evil Eye's natural playfulness, but honing my new experimentation with loop-based music. It's one of my weirdest and most fun LPs, and a personal favorite. I was still learning how to make "music" at that point (as opposed to just noise), but I learned a very important thing while working on The: How to time-stretch and compress so that all my loops match up. That may sound quaint nowadays, but back then it was a big deal. I only did this on a few tracks on the album (I didn't start doing it regularly until On a Mission from Skull a year later) but this album planted the seeds for my later musical growth and learning that technique had a huge effect on my future music.

THE EXTRA

1999  36min  EP

Evil Eye - "The Extra" EP (1999)
 
 
1-15. (same songs as on The, but faster)


  A little bit after making The, I made The Extra, a companion EP. Not much to say about it because it's literally just The sped up by 200%. I apparently found this quite amusing at the time...
