BT's 4th album Emotional Technology was quite a different album in its original conception. BT had even worked with Peter Gabriel on one of the songs. But BTs place was robbed, along with all of the work on his 4th album. So BT had to start from scratch.
The part about this that is hard to believe is the fact that BT had no backup of his work. The man has an IQ that puts him in about the highest 3% of the worlds populous, and he made that kind of stupid mistake doesn't seem plausible.
This is the first time I'm hearing about the theft being a stall tactic though. |
Like I said, I don't know if it's true, but I just can't believe that any working producer, especially someone like him does not have even partial backups. It's just part of working at that level - it become routine. Apparently an entire years worth of work was lost and in that time not one offsite, server, CD, DVD or tape backup was done. It just seems too unbelievable.
My stuff isn't worth shit but I still back it up several times a year and put the most vital stuff in a different location.
So beatflux, that's what you take from this thread. back your stuff up. Unless you need to start the project from scratch
