Oneiric Escapism 4

Finally! Finally! Finally! If you've been looking forward to the release of this compilation, and following its development over the past couple of months, you will most likely join me in that opening sentiment. What. A. Relief! There are a few different reasons for the multitude of delays, but primarily it comes down to a truth so simple as: I didn't have a tracklisting that felt complete. There were a couple of non-responders (one in particular who I would really love to have had involved, but could find no social media presence for to follow-up on my initial unanswered -- and I think unread -- email enquiry), and a few delayed responses, and that was ultimately all it took to hold things up. I could have (and for a time, was intending to) release the collection as it was, but I do find that the Oneiric Escapism series in particular tends to benefit from having a greater number of tracks included, simply because the styles can be quite eclectic and sometimes difficult to fit together if I have a limited choice. That was certainly the case this time around, and the delays, as frustrating as they have been, have allowed for a significantly more coherent final product.
