Talk:Unreleased Album: The Factory/@comment-7706473-20140430100335

I really like it - I think I'm far more interested in non-gaming pasta, so I'm biased, but the idea of music that just isn't right, or an album that hasn't been found - yeah, I love stories like this. First and foremost - the use of little half-truths to make the atmosphere more real was wonderfully done. I knew just enough going in to knew I had no idea where the story was going, and that's a great way to start.

The Factory itself felt like an actual album - the kind you might find in the back of a record store back in the day, or conceivably getting leeked on torrents today. I knew a handful of people who knew handfuls of people who claimed to know 'lost' albums, or half-finsihed works that the public will never get to see. The weirdness, and then the fear, comes from the taking of something that should be a peaceful discovery and relevant to the hobby of the narrator and then making it distubing.

The end result is weirdly plausible. The chances of someone being consumed to create is an old tale, and one we've all known at some point - it's easy enough for a week to fly, or a month, or months - even half a year. And then what do you have to show for it but the Factory, glorious and unintelligible to any but yourself..?

Scary, but also thought-provoking and highly enjoyable. Flaxseed, for grains of time and the turning of things we find comforting into things that consume us whole.
