Remastered 2015 Description:  Originally released in 2005 as a three disc project, “Lessons In Love” is Amphabian’s 3rd studio “triple album” clocking in to about 4 hours once the instrumental versions were also included in 2021. It is styled in Pop, being rhythmic and vocal. The Fairlight CMI was utilized in the making of some of these recordings and the entire album was revisited, remixed, and remastered in this new “10th Anniversary” reboot edition. The new remixed and re-mastered album contains 30 tracks along with their instrumental companions. At the time of recording in 2004, the album was an attempted exercise to produce one song a week during the course of one year. To stay on this ambitious schedule several remixes were made instead – and these redundant tracks (which were made more obsolete after remixing took place) have been left off this new lineup. Due to the original quick production schedule, remixing and re-mastering was necessary in order to bring the quality up to par with Amphabian’s other vocal releases. Amphabian states, “I saw many holes in the raw arrangements and many places that needed extra care and attention that time restrictions didn’t allow when I first produced the album…” – Mainya Music Entertainment (January 2015)

*** In February 2026, I began to explore A.I. Artificial Intelligence with regard to the continued production of my music. This “Hard Magic” album represents AI re-imagining these “Amphabian” songs from 20 years ago. The results were surprising and amazing! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do! – MainyaMusic September 2026
