    Chicago, IL – August 22nd, 2025 – Artist and producer SÄGE, THE 64TH WONDER has announced his new album, Sagewav: Green Version, set to ship in late Summer/early Fall 2025. In a deliberate rejection of the streaming era, the project will be available exclusively on physical media, with each format being a strictly limited, one-time pressing that will never be reissued.

    The release strategy is designed to create what SÄGE calls “rare artifacts for true collectors, supporters, and archivists of the culture.” This physical-first approach transforms the album from a disposable digital file into a tangible, collectible timestamp. Once a format sells out, it is gone permanently. As the artist’s policy states: “Ain’t no reruns in the underground.”

    Featuring 14 tracks with titles like “TM18” and “TM20,” the album draws thematic inspiration from video game and nerd culture, promising a unique sonic experience to match its exclusive format.

    Sagewav: Green Version Tracklist:

    1. TM96
    2. TM20
    3. TM65
    4. TM18
    5. TM19
    6. TM33
    7. TM68

    plus 7 additional songs

    Sagewav: Green Version is available for order now only at sagethe64thwonder.com. Limited to 100 copies total
