Childish Gambino - 3.15.20 (March 22, 2020) / Atavista (May 13, 2024) Album • Page 43

I know others have asked as well but is there one place to find all these leaks? I’m totally out of the loop with these kind of things nowadays!

 

alright nerds, I have gone more nerdy than ever before and spent actual days of my life making two projects. I don't intend to supersede the other tracklists in here which have all been great, it's just my take

tl;dr I've separated and in some cases heavily edited the leaks and 3.15 into a pop album and an experimental/artsy album. I'll drop the links right here, but there's more detail on exactly what I edited down below for you hardcore nerds like me

Almanac (pop/dance/indie album): 2020 - Almanac - Google Drive

Infinity (artsy weird stuff): 2020 - Infinity - Google Drive

---

Almanac tracklist was pretty straightforward to make, my main edits were snipping or crossfading starts and ends of songs trying to make a cohesive listen (All Night unfortunately sticks out a bit here because of the abrupt cutoff, I'm still hoping a complete version drops one day). the big exception was Die With You where I combined the first half of v1 and the second half of v2 to make what I consider a much superior version. in general a pretty breezy and beachy listen that reminds me a lot of Kauai although it does skew darker towards the end. the name comes from a working title for early version of 3.15 that was leaked in various emails from his camp

1. We Are (Meditation) (renamed, slightly edited 0.00)
2. Die With You (my edit)
3. Summertime Magic
4. Love Bug
5. All Night
6. Saturday
7. Move This Way (according to leakers the real name of Little Foot Big Foot)
8. This is America
9. Feels Like Summer
10. The Sun (definitely stole this name for Song 8 from thread king @tdlyon)

Infinity is where I spent actual days of my life editing and cutting stuff together. possibly too much time lol but it made an album I genuinely think is pretty close to perfect if it had been released this way even though that makes me sound arrogant as hell. I'll just list edits by song because there's enough that anyone with the patience to read this far is probably going crosseyed lmao. overall listen I feel is like a complete, fully fleshed out 3.15.20 on crack. if you actually read all this and/or gave either a listen, big big love

1. Atavista (took the CDQ file from the Bonnaroo leaks last month and just made it seamlessly transition into Algo like the way they were originally intended)
2. Algorhythm (combined the first half of the 3.15 version with the Bonnaroo outro. I know there's a complete high-quality OG out there now, but I hate the preacher part personally and wanted to foreground the "oh great spirit" melody)
3. Time (added some of the transition from the end of studio Algo to the start)
4. Vibrate (renamed, no edits)
5. To Be Hunted (renamed, no edits)
6. Millennial Love (used what's apparently the official name of Sweet Thang from RCA. edited the outro so it doesn't transition into Shock anymore)
7. Warlords (crossfaded piano outro with the reversed vocals from Party that lead into it on the album)
8. Human Dilemma (basically just the album Party with the verse from the Human Dilemma leak added on the end, that being the soft piano ballad which leads into HS)
9. Human Sacrifice (as of now the 8-minute version because its the only complete high quality leak. open to swapping this out if later versions with the extra production leak in CDQ
10. The Violence (renamed, no edits)
11. Final Church (allegedly the real name of Under the Sun, no edits except the beepy outro thing)

 

jesus christ.... am I really gonna be out here listening to a fan edit album? AM I?!?!? Maybe. Really impressed with the above and really intrigued

 

@Rowan5215 between these two albums you made, is the entirety of 3.15 included or did you leave some of those tracks off entirely?

 

@Rowan5215 impressive!

 

thanks guys xo

only one that's completely left off is Shock (apparently the name of the no-language/gibberish song) because I straight up hate it lmao. I also used the original single version of Feels like Summer just because that louder mix seemed to fit a pop album better, and the random animal noises and stuff really get on my nerves lol

apart from those everything on 3.15 is still here just in some different contexts

 

This is awesome, thanks @Rowan5215 will definitely be nice to listen to all these in more cohesive tracklists.

 

Yea ok it’s settled. I’m gonna spend the afternoon getting high and listening to these while I do some deep cleaning.

 

Amazing work man. I actually just did a long ass drive and listened to my mega-90 minute album and loved it but I'll check these out in this context too!

How did all of us assemble more fulfilling albums out of this music than the man that made it lmao

 

@Rowan5215 incredible. Well done. I want to do something with Human Dilemma & Sacrifice for my edit, but I don't want the "why go to the party" part twice, and I like the 6:35 min version of Sacrifice better(I think?? - more choir and less autotuned outro - but I like the longer piano intro of the 8 min). I don't have the tools to edit. Heck I may just have my edit on one album, then your edit of those two tracks as a separate mini EP haha. We'll see.

I edited my list and put Capitalism after Human Sacrifice. Infinity kind of services as a transition to a different feel of an album since a lot of the summer vibe songs are at the end on mine.

 

this is phenomenal dude - thank you!

 

yeah I feel you on HS. I love having the full intro and outro, but the extra production and less autotune on the newer version is hard to pass up. it's just really noticeable when you put it in a playlist that the 6min leak is a lot lower quality lmao

if that version ever comes out in CDQ I think I'll just edit the ballad intro to the start and call it there. and once again thanks everyone who gave my edits a spin, xo

 

Wish he would have mentioned new music in the works but it is really cool to hear him give a lot more insight into his Gambino stuff than he normally does

 

He said This is America started out as a Drake diss. Surprised the internet hasn't tried to run with that yet and start fake drama.

 

I just watched that, that’s fucking hilarious

 

the full interview in the magazine is really cool. really interesting reading him talk about why Atlanta s3 had to come before s4

 

the way he described Atlanta S3 as something that makes you want to go back to where you’re from because you’re too uncomfortable is so f*cking good/true/real.

 

A newer, way better version of Warlords leaked (without Cudi though), as well as a previously unheard one called Lost Love Paradise that is absolutely amazing if you guys know where to look (which most of you do)

 

oh man I've been so busy this last week and missed a whole bunch of new shit apparently

time to get working on a third album lmao

 

Huge. The hits keep coming. This Warlords is cool but prob won't top the full 8 min version for me.

 

Lost Love Paradise may be the best of the leaks, it jams hard

 

yeah Lost Love Paradise is a hit. apparently from the Kauai era which is the earliest leak from this latest batch by far

I don't mind the new Warlords, the extra Gambino verse does tie it together pretty well, but cutting Cudi's part was a mistake and I think the new production takes away from the intensity of the song. original cut is still superior imo

also just heard Atavista Gamma (pretty fun bop even though it's just a completely different song) and My Hoodie (really not good, getting the impression that Chance collab project went unreleased for a reason lol)

 

Just for the record haha the song is just called Atavista, Gamma is the guy that uploaded the leak

 

With the final song leaking yesterday, I have now completed my version of this album. I posted my tracklist a while back but it's changed dramatically since then, and I actually turned it into a double album with 13 songs on each side.

Disc 1 Notes:
- 52 minutes long
- More upbeat/poppy/positive
- Infinity is a short intro-like track that leaked a while back, works really nicely as a segue
- Used the Die With You version with the rap verse
- Do Whatever You Want is another leaked track that I never posted. The leak has 21 Savage's verse from Vibrate on it because they recorded this song first, but I use an edit someone made without it so it doesn't show up on the album twice
- I cut the intro out of Atavista (the "as we stand together" part) and made that into its own song because I don't think that epic ass intro fits the rest of this pretty simple synth pop song at all
- Cut the transition into Shock from the end of Sweet Thing so it just ends on the fadeout

Disc 2 Notes:
- 56 minutes
- More intense/experimental/dark
- Free is my name for the Atavista intro, it transitions right into Algorhythm like the tour
- Extended version of Algo with less robotic vocals and the long outro with the choir and preacher
- I used the leaked version of Shock that matches the live version more with the additional production
- Second version of Warlords without Cudi. I love Cudi but this version is way better
- Cut the Party intro from Human Sacrifice so that Why Go to the Party could stay its own track. The piano outro of WGTTP segues nicely into...
- The long version of Human Sacrifice with the piano intro ("open up your eyes"
- The Sun is my name for Song 8

*= Leaked song
^= Released song that is not on the original album
*^= Leaked alternative version of an officially released song

I enjoyed assembling this a ton, to the point where I was almost obsessed with it for a while as the songs just kept leaking and leaking. I'm fully happy with this and it pretty much rivals BTI as my favorite Gambino album... so why he released 3.15.20 in the form that he did is fucking beyond me, but I won't keep harping on that
