Doubtful, seems a bit odd that they'd be on Soundcloud and then get handed out for promos. They're probably songs off Serjtankiancomposer.com.

Not listened to them yet. However Sugest's comments fill me with confidence.

I'll sticky this for now.

EDIT - Caldeioscope or whatever is a track on Selected Music Scores, I can't remember what it is called.

I liked Ghosts of LA, however it isn't what is expected from Serj.

This album shows Serj's main flaw, he'll find an interesting sound/riff/melody here or there but he tends to mix it up with something completely distracting. For example, the riff in Crawling LA is awesome but then it gets shit on by the whatever he chose to mix in the background. I really like it when Serj focuses on simplicity over complex, wide, loud and nonsensical sounds. Give me stuff like Peace Be Revenged, Gate 21, Empty Walls, Saving Us and Bari Arakeel over any of this material any day of the week.

I will say Dysfuntional Days had the most potential to be a great song :D

5 songs from California Nightmare have been used before but they all differ slightly or include vocals. It looks like serj has been working with some of these samples for the past 10+ years.

'Ghosts of LA' is 'Track 11' and 'In And Out Of Rehab' is 'Track 7' on Serart2. 'Ghosts of LA' was also featured in the video game Stranglehold under the title 'The Essence Of Tequila'. 'In And Out Of Rehab' was in the same game but with the title 'ChicaKong' and it was also used for the Notorious B.I.G. remix 'Who Shot Ya?'. 'Caleidosound' was 'Brain Song' and 'Stop And Start' was 'Dave Short' on the album Selected Music Scores.

So I seem to be in the minority here, but from what I've heard so far (four tracks), I really fucking enjoy this. Do any of yall know where I can find the whole thing?
