that tickles. makes me think of that scene in "The Man Who Knew Too Little" with the Explosive Russian Nesting Thingy -- only Bill Murray is surrounded by a gang of marionette robots doing the Mamushka.
cheers glu for your comment. its taken me a while to get back to you. sorry. Glad you like it.
and this track of yours rocks. i often download your stuff. the Bush stuff is cool man.
Absolutely love this one. Whole new feel to your music is accomplished with the new sounds. Beats are trademark, but melody is great with elephant instead of a synth. The best trumpet nature can provide.

lyrics:
what’s happened to our city
where has she gone
another vertical building
built over more homes
in enclaves of exclusion
where the American dream is an American illusion
in this despotic system
it is hard to resist them
but…
I agree with Einstein that we cannot 'will' anything, the concept is religious at best(gulp). But you can change your paradigm,
I am certain Einstein's paradigm changed with his theory of relativity, no? The song was intended for avid fans of political change re-examine their own role in the democratic process, you cannot vote for change in this system, just as you cannot 'will' change...
but you can change the way you see the world.
Somehow missed this one. I'm wondering these days how much we truly can change our paradigm. Pondering this reminds me of my favorite Einstein quote:
"I don’t believe in the freedom of the will. Schopenhauer’s saying, that a human can very well do what he wants, but can not will what he wants, accompanies me in all of life’s circumstances and reconciles me with the actions of humans, even when they are truly distressing. This knowledge of the non-freedom of the will protects me from losing my good humor and taking much too seriously myself and my fellow humans as acting and judging individuals."

I love this track though!!

Sounds are 100% birds, bats, and squirrels.
Even that upstairs neighbor bangin' kick-
it's actually a bird call that I ran through a filter, pitched down and thrown into the
animal drum kit.
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?
MMi's Voices

MMi wrote the song. I programmed percussion, recorded tabla and vocals.
This is quite an old track that got abandoned because I didn't feel it was right or going anywhere.
But listening to it in iTunes this morning I thought it passed muster. I don't think it has enough variation to justify it's length but it's gently…

Open D tuning (low to high D A D G A D). Just a practice session where I had the guts to press record.
No drugs. Just beer with dinner. Maybe they put something in the creme brule…
so Airport Columns.. and Opened... I think these might be my two favorite MMI tunes at the moment. This one is magical. I imagine a caravan of nomads wandering through the Serengeti desert in search of a waterhole, but the electronic ambiances suggest that it's some kind of computer-generated dream... like I'm really laying in an isolation tank in someone's laboratory.
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.
This one was originally slated for the RPM, but I never got to it. I put together this layout one day, and it hasn't progressed since then, but vocals are coming. Does anyone have Tom Waits' phone number?

Nothing I love more than horns and unintelligable lyrics. :) Great work.
Holy moly. I love this. Freakin love it. I want more!!!!!!!!! -E
ahaha. how cool is this.

diggin the lyrics
Whole new meaning to "When Doves Cry" ;) I take it you got a new toy?
very nice bro!
I'm a sucker for any tune built out of natural sound - and this fits the bill quite nicely!
Sounds are 100% birds, bats, and squirrels. Even that upstairs neighbor bangin' kick- it's actually a bird call that I ran through a filter, pitched down and thrown into the animal drum kit.
Woah, the kick in this one sounds like my upstairs neighbors banging on the floor.
Love those fingersnaps at 2:44 and that explosion at 3:22. This track is really something.

Former South American dictator turned clown? ha! Think I remember reading up on that..sandbagdido?
this is so amazing... just a brilliant montage.

droppin' bomb after bomb in this playlist.
yeah, this is a very affective piece. One of my MMI favorites...
beautiful vocals.. and @ 02:20 nice percussion! great cover.

hahhaha yeah!!! filthtone ftw!!!
this sounds utterly hopeless in the best of ways.
I think your 'desert gypsy' and my 'it's storming inside' need to meet up for a draw!
hands down... this is my favorite kjwise tune. bittersweet melody + female vox ftw!
really enjoy d&b-esque tunes with piano
just in case you both are clueless.. this is my favorite ACL tune to date. :-)
I'm still waiting for 7/8 done version :-)
oh yeah, why did I not fav' this one sooner?
woah I remember an earlier version of this one! This is gorgeous. The instrumentation is perfect.
if this were a crayon color it would be pensive purple.
poignant. Perfect title.
