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."
