It’s a bold thing to pull an album like APWD off this late into your career and I commend the guys for committing to their creative vision for APWD so thoroughly. I loved P4 and P5 but have often caught myself fantasizing about a version of Periphery that’s more experimental and for me APWD hit all the right notes. Holy shit, y’all. They truly nailed it.
Is this possible? On my first main artist page I have remakes of an old projects albums but I also have a second separate artist page for that project’s OG mixes. If I add the second artist as other main artist on the remakes, will the remakes be on the second page as ”also appears on”, or not at all? I want to avoid having both versions appear as main releases on the second artist to avoid confusion.
So I released my old albums as remasters under a new artist name and I’ve always regretted it for several reasons, not only because the remasters turned out pretty terribly but also that it has felt wrong and weird to associate them with the new name.
So I had the idea of removing the remasters from my catalogue and instead boot up a new artist profile and release the OG versions of the albums there instead. Just for 1. Legacy preservation reasons and 2. On the off chance that some old fan of that project might rediscover it. (It did garner a significant following) I also feel like the new stuff with the current project is so different so that associating the old stuff with it makes no sense and makes the music give a scattershot and messy impression.
I am a very small artist but still my main worries are 1. It looking unprofessional and haphazard to the people who would care (I wager it’s about 10) and maybe rub the wrong way on whoever might actually like the new versions more. (Even though none of those songs has cracked over 50 streams on any platform)
Any suggestions on this admittedly kinda peculiar situation? Would appreciate any kind of insight.
