Also, I definitely recommend checking out the Gormenghast novels if you have some time on your hands. They could be described as "fantasy novels", set in a medieval castle lost to time... but they have a Kafka-esque sense of the absurd and a sort of social commentary perhaps informed by the search for meaning after the horrors of World War II.
That part at the beginning reminds me of my friend who is an excellent saxophonist. In our college bands he had a few parts that were wild like that and really threw himself into them.
I'm really enjoying the album. You make great sounds, and melodies out of them! Congrats on another RPM finished!
Sometimes it's easier to run with the flawed routines we're familiar with than to turn over a new leaf..
Compare to "Firecracker" and "Livewire" from RPM 2010 and 2009 respectively.
Trademark dreamy, alluring sounds from AMUC. Excellent album, guys! Every track sounds like a cityscape from underwater - sometimes edgy, sometimes sunny, but always cool, refreshing and totally original.

Really enjoyed this - not my usual kind of thing at all, but there's something in it that grabbed my attention. I'll check some more of your stuff out.

It's said that we're neurologically set to be the happiest as children - everything is at its most vibrant when we're young, and every experience is new.
As adults, a lot of that vibrance is lost, but just as autumn comes around with all its…
This RPM Challenge album had a bit of a ying-yang vibe to it. Compare "Marbles" to "Constellations" and "Fisher In The Sky" to "Tied By The Lies".
This wasn't planned - it just sort of happened.
It's kind of funny how you can intend to create electronica, and then end up blindly wandering into a different sub-genre. The end result almost sounds like it wanted to be stoner rock.
For more on the song title, look up "Ganzfeld Effect…

This is probably the least electronic-sounding of everything that I did from RPM 2010, although it still heavily uses samples (either self-sampled or from Freesound).
That is me playing the harmonica, though. (No, really!)
If the song makes…
The most challenging track to record during the RPM Challenge this year. I like how a lot of it turned out, but there were so many clashing pieces, that I was pulling my hair out trying to assemble it.

It was a quote from an older song I wrote [Terrestrial Epitaph In Shortwave], and I felt the need to develop it further here.

I happen to own a mutant monkey as a pet, and was hoping this music would live up to the album name, and help sedate the bugger. Now he's more overexcited than ever - he used his laser beam eyes to get into the drop ceiling, and now he won't come down.
This song has went through so many versions we lost count a long time ago. Beginning seems a little boring but it's better through out the song we hope you like.
This is very catchy. If it can get me dancing about in my chair with a broken leg, that's saying something. The sound production is very tight.
It feels like it needs a cooler title, though - something like 'Encounter At [insert random planet/constellation name here]'.

well i've forgotten
more than i've known
i've reaped the harvest
of all i've sown
the ghosts they haunt me
in waken dream
in murky waters
i go to sleep
what does it matter
what i believe
i broke my vows
so long ago
so don…
This is one of those tracks that if you drift off to sleep while listening to it, you're almost guaranteed to have pleasant dreams. The fidelity of the recording is fantastic.
You should try and find some college student who is a visual arts major, to see if he can take these tracks and pair them up with video footage. (It might make for a good final project for somebody.)

This is beautiful - I'm speechless. (Well, except for that sentence.)
I guess you can't really communicate that you're speechless without saying something. It really creates a parodox if you think about it too much.
This song was created by Alonetoner [Joshua Wentz](http://alonetone.com/joshuawentz), featuring the voice of [Absinthe & The Dirty Floors](http://www.thedirtyfloors.com)' Jessica Risker and is track 6 of the multimedia anthology, Foreshadows…
Okay - I've always been a dumb sucker for female vocals. The vocals by themselves are nice, but you also build a nice synthesizer backdrop for them. All sorts of glitchy, vocoding fun going on here.
This began as a remix of a song I did almost exactly a year ago, and I wanted to see how the same melodies and motifs could evolve over the amount of time. While I stuck with the same acoustic recordings from the original session, the synths ended…
This is nice - it blends an ethnic flavor (Latino/Mediterranean)together with some old-school analog synthesizer.
You wouldn't think the two would go together, but they complement each other nicely.
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.

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…

Just listened to the whole thing. Terrific album. Great job this year!

Great work on the album. It took me places that I didn't expect, and which I greatly enjoyed being taken to. Serious congratulations are in order.
interesting trip
I really like this... outstanding job :)
Nice!
fascinating to listen to. took me off somewhere that
love the sounds ur getting..
Fantastic!
yes this is neat neat stuff ,, much enjoyed.
nice!!
Awesome track -- The opening blew me away
I really like this, so decompose and minimalistic...blended seamlessly.
Great textures - love your enigmatic sound!
Thanks for the feedback on this one - I'm rewriting it, though. I thought it came out sort of rough around the edges.

Interesting Podcast. I'll have to subscribe to the feed..
This is really good for a live performance. I've had the entire setlist on loop while playing my video game here.
I really like the electronica meets Mr. Bungle vibe to this. The title is kind of abstract, though. (Is it a temporary name?)
I love this - it appeals to the progressive rock part of my brain. I'm hearing shades of Phideaux and Spock's Beard mixed in there.

The vocals intrigue me - they remind me a bit of Fish from Marillion.

I like the atmospheric nature of this one -- it creates a nice soundscape to zone out to.
I like the lyrics - the words are very tight and you can tell a lot of thought was put into them. Solid production too..
I really like the chord progressions at work here. It has a certain Beatles flair to it (at their most mellow.)
This is an interesting composed work -- I like how it feels like it's split into sections, kind of like a classical piece.
This is very catchy -- it sounds somewhere between Pain Of Salvation, BT, and Savage Garden. I like the harmonies at work here.

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.
