Original Songs. Reimagined Reach.

Original archive samples, Reimagined Edition teasers, release notes, credits, Bandcamp support links, and streaming destinations in one focused place.

Before and after

Make The Difference Obvious.

The core interaction is intentionally simple: play the original archive excerpt, then flip to the 2026 version mid-play and back again. One song plays at a time, always at the same spot.

What's Happened to You?

Track one of the first album, and the first song to go fully 2026.

Girl Just Like Mary Tyler Moore

The fan-favorite archive oddity, finally given a finished version.

As the Sun Sets

The same opening thirty seconds, twenty-five years apart.

Discard

A dorm-room recording first, then the 2026 rebuild of the same passage.

Risk Is Everything

The title track, side by side with its Reimagined Edition.

Something

One of the quieter archive recordings, with the most room to grow.

You Only Know Yourself

Straight from the original sessions into the 2026 production.

The Hopeless Romantic Love Song

The same hopeless romance, restored for 2026.

Release path

Three Records, Reimagined For 2026.

The public story stays grounded in the archive. Each 2026 release points back to the original Fading Maize material instead of pretending the songs started with AI.
