Synopsis :
I'm riding around in a Yugo, thoroughly lost in the woods. I have passed by the same French cafe thirteen times now, and each time I go in, they're speaking an entirely different language, and it's never French.

Lyrics…
What a great album, just a masterpiece in 8-bits, synths, vocal snippets, beats and more. My goodness, and this was an RPM? All in one month, ok. You killed it! So fun to listen to. Gotta say thank you for making this that! Dope from beginning to end but I’ll list a few favs as I’m trying to do that on my reviews when the project is long enough: “Ready Set Go”
“Answering Machine”
“Ring The Bell”
“Man-E-Faces”
“Seraphim”

Alternatively, "Based On A True Story" something something.

Her Low Budget Nightmare : Track 7.
If you know the words, sing along!
I am going to post the lyrics here. They are being tabulated by a computer now and coming out on punch cards.
Her Low Budget Nightmare : Track 5.
An instrumental track. When I hear the music, I envision that video that Blondie did in the 80s for Rapture, but with Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and the redshirts from Star Trek dancing instead.
Freesound…
cast aside the scenes you see
I'll help you find your voice
the future's fast as Doppler blurs
but there always was a choice
No Air Support The Sun Is Low
Up In The Skies It Refused To Grow
beware the talking screens
they persist but…
Okay, just one more track. Did this one at the last second.
I needed to end the album on a 'dancing around apartment like an idiot driving the downstairs neighbors crazy' sort of note.
Um - yeah. There are a few naughty words - many apologies.
This is a bonus track -- unless I can't think of a legitimate track 10. If so, then this is both the highlight and crowning achievement of the album, and I totally intended it to be.
verse 1
the train has left the station
the terminal is bare
there's stirrings in the psyche ward
it's something in the air
that same old aggravation
old dog that bit the hare
a motion blur on the chessboard
which pawns have played…
before I disappear
I form a fossil shaped by fear
fresh thoughts have gone up dry
yet old habits still multiply
my waking life is said and done
I'm just this script I have become
no good solution can be found
let's burn this whole thing…
Collaboration that I did with Beatwavecr. He composed the music, and I had done the vocals/lyrics. (September 2018 -- I fine-tuned the vocals and levels just slightly, but am trying to resist any further bouts of OCD.)

[verse 1…
Lyrics :
I respect your ambitions
but only plumbers have pipe dreams
Stick with your inhibitions
And cast your hopes away
Leave matters of tomorrow
to the tide of the big sea
It shapes at its volition
And molds your fate as clay

Admittedly rushed out for the holidays, here's a 5 song EP of techno christmasness. By next year, it'll be a full record with lots more sleigh bells and sirens.
*apology for the artifacts
so this was a song sitting around for a while, didn't know what to do with...common occurrence. anyways, i wanted to create a song that had a bit of a 'grainy' vinyl feel to it, with nice, slightly distorted highs…
.. only words will remain when the $h!t hits the fan.
It was a quote from an older song I wrote [Terrestrial Epitaph In Shortwave], and I felt the need to develop it further here.
It amazes me how much free advice there is out there etched…
I originally thought this would be way too long to hold my attention, but it's done a surprisingly good job - I'm at the 11 minute mark now.
I'm impressed how clear the high end is - you can hear all the hi-hats and cymbals very clearly.
You really have to be in the right sort of mood to absorb something like this, though. It feels like the sort of thing that would be great listening to while nearly asleep. (It would make for some interesting dreams.)
When I stepped into that night I felt at home for the very first time in a long, long time. When I stepped into that street I felt complete for the very first time in a long, long time. I didn't wonder where you'd been all day. Or maybe I did…
In reference to your question on the vocals, you might want to raise them slightly, but they're not that bad. It's not so low in volume that you're straining to hear it.
This is very catchy, in an off-kilter sort of way. I like how it straddles the fine-line between electronic and rock. (It sounds like a crossbreed of Self and VAST.)

Full name is "The Morphing Architecture Of The New England Vatican". This is another RPM 2010 track.
I have weird dreams where your average New England city is juxtaposed with some holy Old World locale. The music and lyrics arose from that…
I like the melodic twists and turns this takes. Strange theme - very sci-fi..
I would love to hear the vocals get more attention - they seem to be competing with the instrumentation for the limelight.
As the song says, this is a song I wrote for the RPM Challenge. I simply took my actual experience beginning at 12 midnight on February 1st, and a couple or three hours later I had my first song. The player takes away the intensity of this track…

Comments on AMUC's stuff
This is one of my favorites of yours. Flashbacks to early Genesis.
My favorite of all your REM tracks, I love this kind of syncopated track with interweaving parts. Your longer proggier stuff is nice, too.
Very good, I like it.
Hmm, interesting and nice how you did this.

My fav he man figure! This is nostalgia. This bass reminds me of the bass in Pilotwings for SNES
Texas Instruments wants world domination....
I've explained to Mrs R what Skynet is... Mrs R has explained to me what Speak And Spell is. We now count ourselves as enlightened... and sincerely hope it's not actually based on a true story!
Fabulously inventive, as ever! Lovely to hear you.
you had me at robots.
i would definitely check out that music video
I really enjoy your vocals on this one. There is something appealing behind the synth layers with the Candace of your lyrics.
Appreciate the module Synth Chiptune at the end. Vibes right :)
You should do voice-over work....regular guy roles. GREAT!
Overall a pretty good album.
No, not 12 tet. To see the tuning go to my blog www.chrisvaisvil.com Nice song this is - shades of prog which I really like
Sparse instrumentation. Really good vocals. I like how you say alot with few words. Really Good stuff!
Love the album! Good job!
Cool groove, melodic and strange too. Nice job!
It's a me Mario!

For a 'not professional' singer, you sound great, IMHO. The whole song flows well - you can tell a lot of effort was put into the sound production.
Listening to this, I feel the need to hang up the disco ball while playing ample amounts of 8 bit Nintendo. =)
I like the trippily-demented jazz section around 4:45.. That caught my attention.
Thanks for the feedback on this one - I'm rewriting it, though. I thought it came out sort of rough around the edges.
I envision this is probably what heaven sounds like, assuming the place exists. Fantastic harmonies..
I like the percussion on this one -- it sounds very real. (I'm a dumb sucker for conga drums.)
I like this - it's very immersive. It sounds like it should be the score for some 2001-esque space movie.

The interplay of the different voices creates a nice texture. It reminds me of Ayreon - how he uses different vocalists to establish different moods.
Wow. This totally mucks with your brain - I feel like I'm drowning in it by wearing headphones.
Quirkily harmonic. This one sounds like it deserves a music video (and a really strange one at that.)
Well done. The vocals/lyrics are haunting. I like how it goes from symphonic to crunchy at about the two minutes mark.
This is catchy - it has a trip-hoppy Beach Boys sort of feel.
I remixed this RPM track - sounds a lot better now..
I love the wordplay here. "A part" vs "Apart"..
I like the melodic twists and turns this takes. Strange theme - very sci-fi.. I would love to hear the vocals get more attention - they seem to be competing with the instrumentation for the limelight.
**Dancing about like an idiot** I like this. =)
Awesome! This brought a smile to my face. I love hearing different genre's try their hand at FOTB.
