My opus. By far the longest song I've ever recorded. I tried to make it shorter, but it just didn't work. Sorry. :) "The Water-Carver" uses a sample from Stereolab's "Changer." (Gane/Sadier)

Lorelei reaches her breaking point after years of abuse — via a failed attempt at an homage to Ennio Morricone (had he been Mexican).

I'm really not this bleak... I was just looking for an excuse to use that VU/JAMC/The National drumbeat!

An attempt to evoke images that weren't in the first-person. I tend to write in abstract fragments and this piece is no exception.

Toughest thing to mix on the entire album. Synthesizer music for the attention-impaired. If you don't like the current melody, wait five seconds. Song name comes from my workplace addiction - I was going through a bag of cough drops weekly…
