"In a reformatted world with deleted people, there are still enough dead links that some individuals might indirectly be aware of the existence of those deleted. To everybody else, they'd seem either spiritual and/or mentally imbalanced…
with the manipulated concertina/accordion and the harpsichord and synths, i was going to try and describe this, but i think you say it best in the about section.
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.)
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…

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.
I like here how certain elements of the track seem to weave in and out of sync with the main tempo of the song. It gives the track this precarious balance, like somebody standing still while riding on a unicycle.
Another track from Deranged Lunaticks - this one actually ended up getting recorded first back in the early "oughts" It's been dusted off and spruced-up.
Comments on AMUC's stuff
Oh very cool intro! Great re-imagining of a Gumbo classic!
with the manipulated concertina/accordion and the harpsichord and synths, i was going to try and describe this, but i think you say it best in the about section.
i'm supposed to go practice guitar, but i can't stop listening to this album. it's captivating.
i love that patch you're using, it's sublime, you know, the gurgly one.
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!

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.
I'm liking this - the synthesizers drew me in. The vocals remind me a little bit of Roine Stolt from the Flower Kings.
This one just brings a smile to my face, which isn't an easy accomplishment. I love the lyrics.
The production is off the charts. It's like needle pin drop clear. I'm impressed you were able to do this in a single month.
I like here how certain elements of the track seem to weave in and out of sync with the main tempo of the song. It gives the track this precarious balance, like somebody standing still while riding on a unicycle.
I like the melodic progressions of this. The colorful 'Arpy' synthesizers have an Ed Van Fleet feel to them.
This is beautiful. The production is absolutely flawless. It kind of has a David Arkenstone sort of vibe to it.
I like this. Very 80s. I'm hearing Wall of Voodoo and the Cars influences.
Top-notch playing. I'm impressed. (I wish I could play half as good as that.)
Intriguing voice -- kind of sounds like if Prince was jamming with the Black Crowes.
Nice!! I remember finishing this game when I had the Chicken Pox and was out of school for a full week. It has a great soundtrack.
I love that playful synthesizer you use on this (the lower one). This track has a nice groove to it.
I like the quirkiness of this one -- it reminds me a little bit of Dead Or Alive from the 80s.
I like the overall groove of this song -- I like how it builds up out of the minimalist vocals on the previous track. You have a pretty good voice.
Wow - very tight mix.
Fantastic sound production. I like how you can clearly hear the bass in the mix.
This has all the makings of a SyFi Channel holiday special. "Attack Of The Snow-Zombies" [Attack Of The Snowbies? Znowbies?]
This is serious nightmare fuel right here. I could envision it being used as a background soundscape for a horror movie. I mean that in a good way. =)
