"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.
This appeals to my inner geek. (Okay, maybe not so inner..)
It's like if you took Aesop Rock, and put him into a B-rated sci-fi movie or an Atari video game.
This song was created by [Bilian](http://foreshadows.net/musicians/bilian) and is track 5 of the multimedia anthology, Foreshadows: The Ghosts of Zero. This song inspired a story of the same name, written by [Joe Rixman](http://foreshadows.net…
Title track of my new project, as my other group? The Seven Spiders. This song is experimental dub influenced chamber music, I am exploring the possibilities of humour in music trying to make the music itself amusing ... if that makes any sense…
Yeah - you can tell there is some microtonal hijinx going on here. It's definitely in something other than the Western 12 note even temperament.
While it sounds a little alien, there is an odd charm to it. My brain on some level acknowledges there are harmonic/melodic relationships going on here.
This is a track from the second Luna Trick CD, Hoar Frost Sheen. For the religious among us, it is not an anti-christian song - it simply rails against church crimes and a history of religion-inspired hatred. Let me know what you think. Thanks…
I like the second layer of almost ethereal vocals that kind of do acoustic acrobatics with the left and right channels. It adds another layer to the folk song.
This is really nice stuff - very atmospheric. It reminds me of Tangerine Dream or Jean-Michel Jarre.
(I remember CoolEdit. Great application - without it, we never would have seen Adobe Audition.)
After defeating the Denebians, humans credit their all-knowning Multivac computer for the victory. But inside the computer, what do the humans tasked with feeding information into it do when given unreliable information? The sound of a flipped…
I'm liking what I've heard of this album so far. It has an early Tangerine Dream sort of vibe to it. You couldn't possibly pick a better subject material to base the songs on.
Believe it or not, I was sitting in a hotel room reading Tolkien when I came up with this. Actually, the amazing thing is that I actually remembered enough of it when I got home a week later. Needless to say, this took a lot of time to record…
I like the little time-signature shifts and genre channel-surfing you do here. It's easy to tell that you really enjoyed making this - it shows in the results.
Wow. This album improves greatly from beginning to end - the last few tracks are fantastic. I like how you veer towards more electronica on some tracks, while other tracks have an almost Evanescence sort of vibe to them.
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!

This rocks - I'm hearing a strong New Order/Depeche Mode vibe to this.
I really like the clarity of the percussion here - everything sounds as clear as a pin dropping.
Wow. Just wow.
I like the layered streamed&strummed guitars here. The two play well off each other. The stereo effects create a sense of space and depth.
The mix sounds absolutely perfect in every way. I am soooooo jealous.

I'm really impressed with the mastering on your RPM 2012 album. It sounds very professional. Every instrument sounds crisp and clear.
I like the genre-blending going on here - it creates a very unique end result.

[ROFL] The dangers of trying to write music during girl scout cookie season. I'm more of a Tagalong fan myself. =)
I'm in shock that this is your RPM Challenge album. The whole thing sounds very professional - the vocals/songwriting/mastering. It's all good.

Love the vocals here -- they have a Celtic-vibe to them.
Nice! I love the synths at the very beginning. I was working on something else on my computer, and they completely grabbed my attention.

I'm digging the high sustained notes in the chorus. (Wow.)
I like how you juxtapose the electronic and more loud rock elements here.
