Cognit Retrospect

**Cognit Retrospect** is a Triple LP album and currently the longest album done by only PCB (article created before development of Providence), with a runtime of approximately 90 minutes, beating the previous record FADE.

# THIS ALBUM DOES NOT RELATE TO DEMENTIA, BUT RELATES TO AN ANOMALOUS INCIDENT

However, this album makes references to The Caretaker's final 6 projects in the Everywhere At The End Of Time series

## History

Cognit Retrospect's planning and organization from the start was a mess. There are 4 album/single planned before the 4th one combined all of its content.

1. Expectation was supposed to be the threequel to Reality and Illusion following the same 8 track layout
2. Blockbuster was an album based around sampling clips
3. Cognit Retrospect (single) was as the name suggests, a single with a crappy name, but made a great name when combined into the album
4. Coda was also a single

All of these were made between January 2021 to April 2021 making it one of the longest album development times by cinnimin (which will eventually be beaten by Icosahedron)

## Track List

The cognit retrospect track list consists of 6 parts

"INDUSTRIAL VOID"s are tracks that fill up the empty 15 space to make each part 15 to 17 minutes long

### Part 1

the beginning part where not much goes wrong

* **Cognit Retrospect** - a song that describes the unidentifiable loss of a child
* **Heartbeat** - a buddy holly cover
* **Sweet** - a love song originally for his ex
* **Pink Latex -** a song about a weird dream involving incorrect philosophy
* **INDUSTRIAL VOID 1**

### Part 2

this part feels a little more depressing than the previous. sometimes the music feels saddening, or the lyrics imply there's something missing in life

* **Until Then** - a song questions what happens to everyone when the world ends
* **Without A Trace** - a song about waking up from a dream where he's about to ask his crush out putting him into sadness
* **Exist** - a song that goes of the narcissistic theory that the world is all about him, and that everything was simulated specifically for him. the second verse's lyrics are altered to be similar but different
* **INDUSTRIAL VOID 2**

### Part 3

This part loses all hope and decends into instrumental edits of Cryptic Pizzas

* **Coda** - the final lyric track, repeating the same lines about being slowly taking away silently by an unknown force
* **Knife Ladder**
* **Cold Flame**
* **INDUSTRIAL VOID 3**

### Part 4

Last signs of understanding anything

* **Broken**
* **Despair Fragment**
* **One Leaf Clover -** the hand of god chose the one leaf clover for its imperfection
* **INDUSTRIAL VOID 4**

### Part 6

* **What**
* **The End**

## Lore

Cognit Retrospect is an incident that involved 9 men, 5 of them being engineers, 3 of them being operators, and the final being cinnimin. The session involved a selection of unused tunes and a listening party for the Cryptic Pizzas album.

The plan was to send music to a different and further part of the universe, the entire operation being covered up by the government. The system they are using contains a mastering control room and a powerful transmitter. Mathematicians working on the project showed multiple problems that could occur in the future, but were dismissed as they seemed rare, and so on August 26, 2011, the first transmission was sent to a random but accurate location estimated to be a little over 2 lightyears.

The transmitter's path needs precise angle and power calculation to not only break through an invisible boundary but to also steer and penetrate through another galaxy. If the power caulculation is incorrect, then the transmission hits a "deadspot". However, if the angle cacluation is incorrect, theres a fatal consequence where it will "Killer Rebound" off of a galaxy's invisible boundary and boomerang back at the transmitter, causing a catastrophic warp.

In July of 2016, all transmissions were permanently shut down and cancelled after the first and only killer rebound occured. It killed 4 people upon its impact fusing them into the concrete walls. 2 others were fused together as an amalgamation, and would die 2 weeks later from radiation, and one would be only injured from burns that were not caused by radiation. Cinnimin and the remaining operator stood closest to the transmitter's control source, but they could not find any sign of them.
