Robert Salcido Jr <SaLiMaNDiR> Decided to get the digital version today since I don't want open my Digipak of it! LOL I freaking love these versions! It's like that breathe new life into the original takes. Thanks for doing this, Senor Graves! - SaLiMaNDiR Favorite track: Architect.

sphericalvoid666 this is so good!

Ryan Crowe An impressive re-imagining of the 2005 classic. The new version of the album retain the classic feel, with a modern twist on the production. New samples, old compositions. Best of both worlds.

death89 Another tour de force for AP. Overcast is my favourite for being effortlessly classy, funky and heavy at the same time but Architect it close behind it. Not a single 'skipper' in the album. Favorite track: Overcast.

necrosynthetik it's hard to choose just one. I love the remakes and remixes just as much. Favorite track: Beautiful.

qa1wsx Wonderful to have this “rebuilt” release. Instant pre-order.

about

After 20 years, my debut album Close to Human is back—but not as you remember it.

In 2006, a catastrophic hard drive failure led me to believe the album was lost forever. For years, I thought I’d never be able to perform these songs live again with the same energy, soul, and impact of the original 2005 release. But in 2024, everything changed.

After hunting down all the original hardware and samples, I made the decision to painstakingly reconstruct the album from the ground up. This isn’t just a remaster—it’s a resurrection. Beat for beat, note for note. Close to Human lives again as Closer to Human.

For the physical release, I’ve partnered with Dependent Records to create deluxe packaging unlike anything we've ever done with Aesthetic Perfection.
