'''''Full Sun''''' was a double album that was released in January 1998. The first half of the collection is split-up by a 6-part movement titled [[Only_To_Be|Only To Be]] of which the third part was omitted. The first half also features a 21+ minute long experimental soundscape in the track [[Planetary_Approval|Planetary Approval]]. Similar to the [[Penumbra]]/[[Umbra]] dual release, the second half of this collection features cover songs and more experimental tracks.

==Personal Thoughts==
When compared to the first three collections of music, this one doesn't appear so bad to me anymore. The songs are much more ambitious and relatively mature. There's still a lot of angsty and pretentious stuff in there, though, don't be fooled. One of the better aspects of the music here is an almost complete lack of drum machines, which I think was due to the fact that I'd been borrowing my friend's drum machine for over a year and he needed it back. Ultimately, I think no percussion is better than drum machines trying to sound like actual drums, especially when they're programmed by a person who can't play the drums. During this time, I began experimenting with alternate forms of percussion or simply foregoing it completely. This collection was wrapping-up around the time that I bought my Akai S-20 sampler, which lent itself to a few tracks.
