The monitors of the omniverse are bored out of their mind, and wish something would happen to break the monotony.
There are some things that transcend the laws of physics - Murphy's Law is one of those things.

Hurtling towards oblivion thanks to a giant catapult owned by a foul-mouthed voodoo child, he sends a final lewd finger gesture back to the world he sought escape from.
Unbeknownst to him, Voodoo Boy may have a vested interest in using him…
The final version of this track:
When escaping events that are falling apart, be leery of strangers offering gifts - particularly when they look like something out of Children Of The Corn and they offer to lob you into orbit with a giant catapult…

Even the cosmos needs system maintenance. When its IT department decides to delete something, sometimes that something doesn't want to go without a fight. Even computer viruses will do what they can to avoid the reaping hand of a virus checker…
Oh crap - somebody broke the multiverse. I should have known those #?%! black holes were a serious security flaw.
We were really meaning to fix that, but never got around to it. (It would have cut into our golf time.)
From the RPM Challenge 2009 album - "Like A Dark Mirror Keeping Its Secrets":

What an experience.. glad i had my headphones on for this one. Alot of it would have been lost on my crappy laptop speakers. Nothing obvious here... was literally surprised every couple of seconds. class.

A draft from RPM 2009 Challenge.
The lyrics are strange and could easily be misunderstood, so let me help:
So -- you have this bummed out fellow, the same one from my Alonetone 'album in a day' contest submission.
He's wandering around…
It's not much of a life trapped inside a cocoon of your own making.
Finale from "Dead In The Water" album.
A longer track, but it's worth the time to fully digest.

Trapped, Suffocating Inside A Snowglobe.
Written in 2007 after a particularly brutal winter. (Spring was taking its precious time manifesting.)
It kind of expanded from there, taking on a new meaning, as the lyrics perculated.
Hey, Thanks! The main software was Ableton Live on a Mac on one end and FLStudio + Acid on the Windows on the other. (See? we can all get along after all ;) A whole mess of VST plugins as well.
I also like what you have going here. There's a confused timeline, anachrony, retrofuturism - at times it reminds me of Matt Johnson/The The's first album Burning Blue Soul. These tracks really evoke the time pressure that impacted the forging of them.
"Deal Breaker" from the RPM Challenge Album "Dearly Beloved" by the band Doll Butcher. A blend of rock, metal and electronic music, this song is a father's perspective during a military attack in which he realizes his family will become refugees.
Hanging on my closet, I have a sticker for Narraganset beer and a mock-road-sign reading "Dystopia" with an arrow pointing both directions. The juxtaposition was unintentional, but I decided I liked it.
The Dystopia name works here. It sounds like the sort of song that would play the first day after the end of the world in some eight bit chip-tune reality. It's kind of bittersweet.
Modern Language is Lucid Optics on rhymes and Museum on production. This song is from the Ok Txt Me EP. Read more here: http://www.imposemagazine.com/bytes/new-music/modern-language-ok-txt-me
The second part of the new album "Space".
The songs are:
Barrel of a Gun
Afterlife
Somewhere South
The Walking Dead
Thanks for listening. More to come . . .
I'm digging whatever song it is that's playing around six minute mark here. I like the way the melody flutters around unexpectedly. It would be nice if the album was divided up song by song. (Easier to navigate that way.)
I like the minimalism of this. You do a lot with a very simple synthesizer. This is the sort of thing I could envision playing over a shortwave radio in the middle of the night, announcing the commencement of a number station or something.
This is the sort of thing that I would set on a time delay to begin playing while I'm already asleep. I could see it subtly interacting with my dreams and sending them in interesting directions.
This is fantastic - the lyrics are thought out very well and interweave nicely with the synthesizers. You're totally right - it has an 80s vibe to it. (Maybe late 80s / early 90s.)
Comments on AMUC's stuff
the way you juxtapose your half-sung/half-spoken vocals with such original music is uncanny and quite an accomplishment.
love that exotic lead rhythm, that could've kept going, and the beats...reminds me of my own stuff :)
AMUC, you're right on my wavelength: bizarre, original, intriguing, crazy out there...speak to me o strange one.
My favorite so far.
Very interesting. I like the alterations in the vocal as different "speakers". What's a "freesound credit?"
flange me baby, yeah. very original like it
wow cosmic man. very cool
Is this what is known as an eclectic album - well I like it :)
Dark, brooding. This is not a car I want to ride in.
Great intro. Love the metal percussion.
What an experience.. glad i had my headphones on for this one. Alot of it would have been lost on my crappy laptop speakers. Nothing obvious here... was literally surprised every couple of seconds. class.
hope you are enjoying the month of music writing. I am really digging your track on Myspace-Trapped Behind a Mask. cheers
This is ameeeeeeezin!
Wow- an awful lot going on with this one. Love it. Very ambitious
Yes, I'd say you have. GREAT track.
Bright! Expansive. This is wide and really nice! Great images. Nice vox. Effective simplicities and rhythms. Jazzyishness!
nice work on your 24hr. sounds like it was fun to make.
This is great. Supremely atmospheric.

I'm digging this album - just the little morsel-sized audio capsule of 'wake-up' that I needed.
I'm digging the instrumentation on this one - it's very lush. You really get sucked right into it.
I'm digging this - it's catchy. It has an 'Arabian Nights' sort of vibe to it.
Catchy little ditty. I'm digging the vocals. The album art? Is that a reference to The Quiet Earth? That was the first thing that came to mind.

I like melodic twists and turns this one takes. It has an off-kilter/unsettling sort of atmosphere to it.
This has a nice crunch to it. The sound production on it is top notch as well (and louder rock is not easy to mix at all.)
Ha - naturally a song like this comes on when I'm trying (unsuccessfully) to replace the blinds on my window. The lyrics fit the task perfectly.
Nice - reminds me of Black Sabbath or Count Raven.
This is fantastic -- I like the interplay between the rapping and the sung choruses.
I really liked this one. Very relaxing - it helped me to unwind.

I'm digging some of the sound effects you're making here. Was that an FFT-style synthesizer you were using at the very beginning?

Ha! A swimming pool of espresso sounds really good right about now. =)

The production is really solid on this. I like how you can hear all the different instruments clearly in the mix.
One can tell you were really in the moment when you did this one. It's very serene.
I like the vocals on this one -- I like the vocals transition between the louder parts and the more mellow sections.
