This is the twenty fifth release of
Sonic4 Test Records.
The Album Code STALE
series is used for compilation albums.
Off
The Charts is a compilation album produced by Sonic4 and
released by
CQ(bq). It's supposed to be a bootleg vinyl
release of
AuditoryStaleDoner,
which was the first compilation album on
Sonic4 Test Records. CQ(bq) has
brought back a few classics from STALE01 as
well as adding in brand
new songs. Instead of the album being a
celebration of a milestone,
it's a hopeless throwback to the early days
of the label.
"At the time, I was unable to make
anything new because of how high the
expectations were. The label was going on
a negative downwards spiral
with more releases focusing on quality
over quantity. That's how I got the
idea for Off The Charts, it was going to
be an album that devalues quality.
CQ(bq) is an acronym for Cost Quality -
Benefit Quality analysis, which
became the theme of the album. And
surprisingly, it fueled Sonic4 Test
Records back to the original premise of
making music just for fun."
