I'm disturbed by the love affair people have with institutionalized violence. We inadvertently endorse and legitimize war by saying nothing. Maybe it is because we would rather subdue ourselves with meaningless television shows and those neurotics social networking 'about me' quizzes than challenge the norms by which geopolitical power is executed worldwide, both economically and militaristically. What world did Enlightenment principles bestow us with?

Is it cool to favourite collabs you're involved in?
Anyway, glu did all the heavy lifting here. It's like Santa Claus visited last night and left the best presents at my house!

and you didn't even have to spend the night to get it.
another one from the morning sessions...
thanks for the comments Glibert! This one was thirty minutes from figuring out the guitar lick to bouncing the tracks. I'm most happy with this brainstorm out of all of these because it just came out when I began recording... more naturally than the others.
A morning storm recorded in the courtyard and a musical motif written in the evening. combined time working-- 45 minutes, interrupted by a phone call from the parents to see if I was still alive.
lyrics:
i got a hot date
and you know i don't wanna be late
i need a ride
to the bowling alley
get ready cuz here i come
put my new skirt on
chewing peppermint gum
did my eyebrows fresh
white musk on my neck
part my hair to the right
cuz its…
Rough sketch of a proposed dreamy 12 string piece that I couldn't pull off on the 12 string so did this quick electric version with vocal pads. Not sure of the recording quality- sounds OK in my cans and kinda crappy on my monitors. Recorded march…
Lyrics:
I don't know what you want
when you treat me that way
I can't help being turned on
Is that what you want
Just to see what I would do
To see if I'm in love with you
I'm trying so hard
to sit here and ignore
the way that you…
This reminds me of an old-school Beck track. If you don't like Beck please don't take offense, it's a compliment! Some of my favorite Beck stuff was from the Mellow Gold era.

Still need a ride to the bowling alley? Can you make an extended version of this track so I can keep listening to it without having to go back to the computer to press play again? :)
nice ambient music. I'm fascinated by the randomness... iare these random notes played by you or randomly triggered through some modulation software? Either way, great stuff.
*Electronic rock. Sounds like* **_IAMX_** *and* **_Depeche Mode_**
This is much better than it’s ever been before
Much more real
More rich
More speed
More more
I feel like I could go forever and it only hurts when I stop
This is much…
This album rocks! I was curious after discovering we had both named our albums the same title... good stuff. Reminds me of DM for sure! Very well produced songs.
*Electronic rock with jungle/drum-and-bass influence*
I've never really felt that I was ever good enough
But even I can be improved if I just stay tough
My teeth are metal reinforced
My eyes are plastic lens
And daemons run inside my head…
love the bass... love the claps, taps...wow.. I am really impressed with this album so far. this stuff inspires! so fluid... and not the least bit banal for a 12 minute track... it's constantly moving. you guys pulled it off.. the violins at 05:30 are so awesome. I hear a bit of dissonance in there too. Shit, I might as well be reviewing your album with these lengthy comment chapters. good stuff... You guys really made something special.
Lyrics:
I'm not sleeping
I'm staring at the ceiling
My mind's a thousand miles away
I'm finding faces in the shapes
of plaster that was scraped on the ceiling
Killing time is not so bad
but when you're trapped inside your head…
Love this track from start to end. I really like the drums/ambient sounds/bass/ at around 3:50. A very nice 'series of demos;' I look forward to hearing more.
Lyrics:
No one told me to watch my back
I was thinking 'bout what I lack
What's a boy supposed to do
Life has got me blue
No one told me to watch my back
Now it seems I've gone off the track
It wasn't that hard to do
It caught me by…
Lyrics:
Pass me a handle of that old time tennessee
It's been a while since I've seen the devil
It's a common mistake to think that I'm a sweet and gentle soul
but give me a chance to change your mind
Cause you have never seen me like…
Based on the first lines of a Hindu spiritual song I've had stuck in my head for years, this song was included on the RPM 08 world music category compilation. World music--crazy! Wouldn't have expected that, but I'm honored that it was nominated…
Comments on glu's stuff
Wow- is this the reason for the latest avatar?
Very cool dig the voices
woah, hey jef..you there too, eh?
strangely mirrors my current emotional landscape.
This reminds me of The Gathering at their most mellow, albeit a little more electronicky.
This is haunting. I think you blend the music, voice, and percussion together perfectly.
Dreamy :)
Should have know who this was before I walked in here from the shop. This is most excellent!

maybe I'm a goob but yeah, I fav my collabs! :-) See what happens when you leave cookies out for Santaglu?
I like this. Short and sweet.

Great collaboration! Very spacious
Turning Coffee into a song, great! I love coffee and this song. I'm glad it's not just a recording of you making the stuff. :)
Bethan's right. Great track.

great capture of the storm and appropriate muse for the occasion.
lush and beautiful! 30 min to upload? Fantastic!
this is sweet! i'd like to see it as a soundtrack to a video. by the way, i love your photography/photoshop/whatever!
Glad you found this one!

wow this is silky smooth! love the chord progressions.
