Transona Five Deluxe Remaster
23 years ago I was in a band in North Texas named Transona Five.
18 months ago we were approached by a record label, Sonic Surgery Records.
"Make whatever release you want to make" they said to us. "This is your project, you make it, we will release it".
So the 5 surviving band mates brought our masters, our live recordings, our 4-track tapes and home recordings together. We spent a year remixing the tracks and working on the album design and coordinating with the label to define what our final product would be.
In the end we landed on releasing a double-LP featuring remastered material and never-before released recordings. As we began to put the album together, our first stroke of luck was getting help from Noah Landis (of Neurosis) to help us remix our tracks and prepare them for mastering, which led to a second stroke of amazing luck, getting it mastered by John Golden himself at Golden Mastering.
I've spent a year of my life working to help produce this retrospective release, and in the end I believe we've achieved what we set out to do, which is to give our little band, Transona Five, a capstone release, completing the project and giving fans of the band a worthy and notable final Transona Five project.
