Artist commentary:

Michael Guy Bowman: (Bandcamp about blurb)

Commissions, novelty tracks, experiments in electronica from 2012-2016. Download features 10 bonus tracks.

Quasar Nebula: (wiki editor)

Thanks to a copyright claim on the stock cloud photo in its album cover, the original Archive release was taken down in July 2018. After workshopping a new cover made from original assets, Bowman worked with 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, Awake renamed as Awake (2013 Version), Crimesters Credits renamed as Emery's Theme, and Crimesters Theme renamed as Emery's 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)

@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
