this is so fucking chill, I don't want to leave my fucking bed. I want to wrestle with my imaginary friends and play fingerlings puppets with Charley. Thanks for this spiritually freeing shit broooo

On August 11th 2011, the first 'official' album for the project johnny_ripper was released online, titled 'soundtrack for a film that doesn't exist'. A concept & sound that lasted 6 years, 6 albums, 3 remix compilations & a collaborative EP; before the name was eventually changed to 'Joni Void' in 2017.

Retrospective is a compilation of 19 songs / selection of early material from johnny_ripper, with fresh remasters from Amar Lal, focusing particularly on original compositions / the 'soundtrack piano' material of the first albums, creating what is essentially the most 'personal' album to date in that sense. This is the first time a johnny_ripper release is pressed on a physical format.

"this life took a minute to grab
but when i slipped in the rap
i noticed the deal was done
and basically i had won
so when i ran it all back,
i took a minute to ask
if anything i could do,
would jump me right back to you
young dev your on the right path
just take the door at most laugh
when things get quiet for you
you’ll know just what u can do,
be loud and let it grow up
you honestly got the stuff
remember that is not luck
remember to say so what:
- Pink Navel - So What

Oh, that is me in the picture. I was about 4/5 years old. I had an imaginary friend, my ride-on toy Thomas The Tank Engine. I was strongly convinced that it was alive. I used to take him everywhere with me, even set up a place for him at the table on a few occasions, try to feed him, give him something to drink. I still have a few clear memories of this. 
Please don't forget who you were as a child.
