KOMPRESSOR Singularity KOMPRESSOR, who announced his intentions to revamp his project at the start of 2006, closed his online store at the end of 2005. Prior to closing the online store, he released all songs from WORLD DOMINATION and CRUSH TELEVISION (plus some songs from UNDERGROUND ARCHIVES) for free download. [2]
As of January 1, 2006, KOMPRESSOR's Singularity occurred. While not explicitly stating all music production will cease, his statement on the matter indicates that he will no longer sell music, and he would be selling off his music equipment. Additionally, the old KOMPRESSOR web site is replaced with a discography, yet other pages still exist on the server.
Despite the apparent halt of Andreas K.'s production, KOMPRESSOR's LiveJournal hints at a past project that remains unknown to most, and proceeds to hint at a future project. [3]
