Albums
On August 15th, 2007 the label End of Earth announces the
release of the album "Campus Earth" for 2007.
Campus Earth
Nickels says about the album: "This record was actually
recorded around the same time as Manifest Destiny. We were
going to try and make these songs be on it, but we didn't
get them recorded in time. So we just kept them for another
"lo-fi" version of it. It was originally called "Campus
Earth" and "Manifest Destiny" was thought of after Reuben
died. So that is why there were references to "Campus
Earth" on "Manifest Destiny." One was studio and one was
basement. This is the -behind the scenes- album for the
Comunalien fans. It's more of an intimate portrayal of
Comunalien. Lots more snippits and goofing off. It's real
fun, but still packs the same seriousness as Manifest
Destiny. A little bit more diversity on the tracks as well,
since most of the tracks were created on the fly."
More tracks
As Nickels states: "There are still several songs waiting
to be transferred from Adat to Protools for a future release
[after the release of Campus Earth, 2007], possibly called
"Phillipino Ninja Superstars".
