===Sketches 3D===
==sketches 3d==
Sketches 3D attempted to clean up the album with better production, attributed to Andrew's recent work in music production. This also aims to release the album more fully, as the previous album was only barely released on cassette (thus the cover art), and was extremely obscure to purchase digitally other than through a Bandcamp link.
