From what I understood at the time, he didn't want any Taint reissued. Toward the end maybe he changed his mind, I don't know because I never talked to him about anything like that.
Mikko, did he give you any permissions for reissue? I feel like you might be the only one he gave them to.

he had very varied feeling about it. As many times as he would say no to suggestion, he would actually come forth and suggest doing something. Such as Indecent Liberties. I got email when he says he is sending masters and trusts my judgement on how to treat his legacy. Tyler from Ajna can verify Keith's wishes as he was the Keiths named contact person on these matters.
I have permission to keep in print all Mania tapes I did (which I should.. they are currently OOP) and I personally feel Keith was open to discuss represses of recordings that were made for bigger audience. Several of those were reissued already when he was alive. I don't think he wanted to reissue everything. Not the private material, nor making anthology box-sets out of things that was meant to be scarcely available in first place. Therefore, my conclusion is that the small edition private stuff is not meant for re-issues, but the already fairly large run albums that were meant for larger audiences is ok. There has been already many discussions and things are under work with the original labels who were putting out the stuff. I would appreciate if none of the newbie fanboys feel they are somehow entitled to put out whatever, but leave it to people who Keith was personally dealing with when he was active. When they come out, I am sure any reissues will be available fairly easily in USA and Europe.

Quote from: Cranial Blast on Today at 05:00:02 AMI think one thing that rings true about Keith's work in Mania in particular, is how profound and relatable those uneasy feelings are, that are being meticulously being projected and expressed through the noise itself, through a foreboding sense of anxiety, desperation and isolation that continue to escalate. This time a year I've got terrible anxiety from season change to winter. I find myself drinking a lot earlier, a lot more often and going to bed almost always with nightmares and then waking up everyday to this depressed and anxious ridden state that makes you feel very guilty, self ridiculing, isolated and alone in those feelings and takes hours in the morning to return to a semi normal state of mind. I think Mania is the banner to those types of feelings and is precisely why it's so magnified to certain individuals, cause it feels so authentic to those types of experienced emotions. I never knew Keith, as I was late to the forum before he passed, but he's no doubt somebody I'd of easily been able to relate to on various topics. I'm glad he was able to communicate those feelings of anxiety so well with Mania to the point that it demands the listeners immediate attention.

Thank you, very well said!
