None Of Them Knew They Were Robots
Which is quintessentially apropos at this particular point in time...
[video=youtube;qrXPvu6lYFY]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrXPvu6lYFY&ab_channel=MrBungleChannelMrBungleChannel[/video]
Mendel's machines replicate in the night
In the black iron prison of St. Augustine's light
He's paying the bills and they're doing him proud
They can float their burnt offerings on assembler clouds
The new Franklins fly their kites
With omega point in the sight
And the post modern empire is ended tonight
From history
The flood of counterfeits released
The black cloud
Reductionism and the beast
Automatons gather all the pieces
So the world may be increased
In simulation jubilation
For the deceased...
Spray-on clothes and diamond jaws
Wrinkles smoothed by nanoclaws
With my machines I can dispatch you
From this world without a trace
Our nostalgia ghosts are ready to take your place
Content-shifting shopping malls
Gasoline trees and walk-through walls
None of them knew...
As I watch the dead rise up out of the earth
I feel the gray goo boiling my blood
Try to hide from the lies as they all come true
Deus absconditus
Deus nullus deus nisi deus
I feel the grey goo boiling my blood
As the fenris wolf slowly bites through his chain
Try to hide the myth as it becomes a man
None of them knew they were robots
Buying an X or an O
Cats game for Joe Blow
In state craft tic tac toe
A binary hug or kiss
Post industrial bliss
Can be wrung from utility mist
They stole the great arcanum
The secret fire
Moloch found his gold
For the new empire
Once again
The necrophage becomes saint
Lindy hop around the truth
Jump back wolf pack attack
Swingin' up there in the noose
Jump back wolf pack attack
Slap back white shark attack
Slap back white shark attack
Phased array diffraction nets
From full-wall paint-on TV sets
Migratory home sublets
And time shared diamond fiber sets
Recombinant logos keys
Bitic Qabalistic trees
I feel the grey goo boiling my blood
As leviathan and his bugs freeze the sea
Try to save the world by immolating myself
The flood of counterfeits released
From history
The black cloud
Automotons gather all the pieces
The resurrection of the deceased
In simulation jubilation
For the builders
So the world may be increased
Of the body of the beast

Honestly I've been listening to fett a lot lately. I mean this song is badass. Seriously. I only go on the Personal Music creation thread every now and then to catch up and I like a lot of the stuff there but shoot out the lights this is good.

Mostly (tech-)house, so a different kind of energy and I'm only 30 minutes in, so no guarantees, but I usually like her selection and taste; never gets boring like other house acts.
I heard her live once in a huge pit of stone and gravel.
Me like :cool:

I've probably listened to more music this year than any previous, and my pick for favourite artist discovery is between Lajkó Félix and Jorge Ben. They've made a gloomy year worthwhile.

All versions of this tune have the CD skipping artefacts, so the master recording must've been rescued from behind someone's desk.

So much good stuff on here I’m just clicking at random. :D
@ Tocky
I much enjoyed Kyd Kalydoscope and had to go to YouTube to understand the significance of the hospital images. Great stuff. I also enjoyed Clair de Lune. I have albums by the late Isao Tomita including his Clair de Lune, but I’ll not post as you may not like. As you may know, he interprets lots of famous classical pieces like Snowflakes Are Dancing, the Planet Suite, etc in electronic form, so interesting. Good with stereo headphones.
Along with vast gaps in my knowledge I only vaguely knew of the band America so I’m amazed to read on Wikipedia they originated in London around the time I was just out of college. Listening to their greatest hits I recognise A Horse With No Name but guess I was locked into other things by then.
@Gray
I enjoyed the Scunner video and as is the way of the internet I ended up watching 2 or 3 of his band. In years gone by I had several happy visits to Glasgow, very friendly people, even to Sassenachs :D. My wife and I visited the Burrell Collection at Pollokshields. Stunning place and we were talking about it for weeks. I imagine that’s not too far from where Scunner’s video was shot, although I read it’s under refurbishment at present.

For those who play Thief, I can imagine Garrett in the "fiery procession of guisers" in this song carrying a flaming tar barrel on his head. :eek: (See half way through video). I've seen a similar event on November 5th at Ottery St Mary (Devon. U.K.) when "in a tradition dating from the 17th century, barrels soaked in tar are set alight and carried aloft through parts of the town by residents". The Dale in the song is Allendale but it could just as easily be Darkdale. ;)
"Tar Barrel in Dale
Fire in snow
Toast the New Year
Bid farewell to the old"

This will forever be my new years song. In 2000 on this day I drank a cup of coffee staring out my kitchen window watching a family of deer in the pasture not fifty feet from me and listened to this song on the radio. It imprinted and is the only song I think of on this day.

Oh it's more than that. The guy you are listening to was a regular here named fett for a long time. He doesn't stop by much anymore but is fondly thought of by us old timers. He is busy and we are glad he is.
BTW you are from the ancestral home of my surname. Also thank you for the song about a tradition I knew nothing about.
