Anything critical missing? If there is, can you get at least 2 people to agree with you on that?
If you can, I’ll stick that on too.
That said, the production is so different between each album there isn’t really a good way of making this into a best of without remastering everything. Considering the idea is to give a taste of what I’ve done away for free everywhere I can stick it (not just bandcamp, but datpiff, filesharing services, etc,) I think it’d be fake to clean up the old work. I mean, I might as remake everything but the most recent material with fresh vocals if I’m covering blemishes, and that seems like something other than a best of.

How is it possible that “Nerdcore Life” is not on that list? It’s one of the first songs of yours I heard. “jumpoutyaseat remix” is my vote. Hopefully 2 people agree …

Really good choices. All great tracks, and probably the representation of your music as a whole. Though I’d like to through in my suggestion of “Five to Nine” – my personal favourite.

Shutter #1 most def. I kinda feel like Distant Star needs to be on there and Front to the Back for pure swag.

And, since I’m still here, I agree with the idea that the production being wildly different between each release is kinda an issue and that it’d be fake to clean up old work but as a fan, boy, it’d be a real treat to hear you revisit some of those older tracks given how much you’ve evolved as an artist since.

On the suggestions just made: considering they each got a vote from people on the Ultraklystron Facebook too, the votes here get those songs on the comp (though I’ll probably use the standard Nerdcore Life mix.)
On revisiting tracks: It’s obvious from any recent live performances that when I perform the old material it’s definitely with an evolved style, but if I put time into vocal recording any time soon, it should be on a new album. I have 19 (+/-2) songs ready to go (lyrics and instrumental completed,) they just need to be recorded and mixed.
