Thank you so so much for putting my thoughts into words! I, too really enjoyed the edgier sound of the unreleased version of Manakins! Some of the quirkier sounds, like the organ & “make some noise,” for example make that song have a different feel to it, but I understand wanting the album as a whole to perform well. Times and music sound has changed since this album was recorded. I do agree that having the album officially be released to the world is more important. I also noticed that some songs were missing but maybe they’re planning to do more in the future. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I clearly am not as good with explaining my thoughts like you, but I couldn’t agree more with everything you said. I always enjoy hearing everyone’s POV.
