A recent excursion to my old house showed that there were actually a few of the original hand-made Tidal Wave CDs available. These include an 8-page booklet, hand-cut and glued by my own two hands, along with a double-sided tray insert, hand-cut, folded and glued, all in a standard CD jewel case.
The CDs themselves are simple CD-Rs with the tracks burned onto them, hand-labelled with a black Sharpie.
Each edition was also hand-numbered on the back of the jewel case insert and also on the discs themselves. Only 25 of these were ever made.
These will never have a hand-made edition like this ever again.

High above the city, an apocalypse came. And Mankind called out for their Hero. They screamed his name. They cried for help. They did everything in their power to reach out to him.
He did not answer.
lyrics
Everything changed
On that fateful day
There were none of us left
You don't care, anyway
And we asked to the sky
As our bodies burned
"Where is our saviour?
When will he return?"
Where were you
When The Sky Cracked Open
Were you wallowing
In your own self-pity
Where were you
When we needed you most
When this wretched virus
Used us as its host
Where were you
When The Sky Cracked Open?
You're not a hero
Not deep inside
You're just a symbol
That you hide behind
You believe yourself
To be without fault
Then why couldn't you save us
From the brutal assault?
Where were you
When The Sky Cracked Open
Were you wallowing
In your own self-pity
Where were you
When we needed you most
When this wretched virus
Used us as its host
Where were you
When The Sky Cracked Open
Save us!
Where were you
When The Sky Cracked Open
Were you wallowing
In your own self-pity
Where were you
When we needed you most
When this wretched virus
Used us as its host
Where were you
When The Sky Cracked Open
