<NOTES>
     No idea what is said here. Just random crap.
</NOTES>
<03 - This Room Spins/>
<NOTES>
     And I'm feeling quite faint
This room spins faster than it should
Sunlight Streaming in
Patterns on my retina

Everything you do is a waste of space
Everything you do is a waste of time

Counting the coins as they drop is fun
How many drunks fall in without meaning to
People I don't know are here and I scream
Have I succeeded?
</NOTES>
<04 - Regular-Regular-Regular-Irregular/>
<05 - You Don't Need to See My Identification/>
<06 - Convenient How Convenient/>
<NOTES>
     I'm chasing my own end 'cause
You say you're holier than me
Sending it round the bend
'Cause you're conforming to an
Ideal here, empty gesturing
To help his mass appeal

Convenient how convenient
Don't have to think

Seemed so easy when I saw it
Written there hard to know
What your mind had twisted where
Checking again makes me think
I'm full of crap third time through
And you're not seeing it back
</NOTES>
<07 - People are Whispers/>
<08 - Your Life is a Projection/>
<NOTES>
     Your life is like projection
Ethereal against the wall
Harder to sense against the dark
Stuttering ready to stall
The reel's shaking in the shutter
Framing losing sense, the pins lose grip
And soon the scences hold melting all the clutter

And she took your hand and swore you were the one
Move up in life, clear your head and carry on

Age it seems is bleeding out all the colour
Dirt scratches a path across your mind
The weather is good today, crisp and dark and
Leading you round dark corners the image is less seeming
<09 - Two Times Into It/>
<10 - Decepticon Matrix/>
<NOTES>
     So there you stand, the king of deception on your fine board protecting who knows. There's one colour playing but you see it differently, time for a change you think: Everything will work. But my life is different, I have faith in others, ones who deserve it not skulking buffoons, who think you're the greatest, while failing quite aptly, tumble it down. Who gives a fuck?

<ANALYSIS>
     I bent my rules a little by using two ideas I'd had kicking around for a long while but never really used. However, all of these were new recordings and in fact everything on the album ended up being recorded live, even the stuff I could reasonable have cut and pasted or programmed. This was down to laziness more than anything else.

Most tracks were recorded quickly and the first take was often the one uses. Occaisionally I would write something that was hard for me to play and forced many retakes just to get a half-decent version, and you'll hear this in the many bum notes, mistakes and slighty timing issues on all tracks. I did try to fix as many of these as possible but part of the time limit was to get over a desire for perfection.

You can get all the tracks from the above links. If I was to name a 'single' it would be '03 - This Room Spins' maybe followed by '06 - Convenient How Convenient'. However, the album contains quite a few different styles and there's stuff on there that's quite unlike those tracks. The album was arranged and produced (barely!) to be listened to as one continuous piece, so if your MP3 player puts tiny pauses between each MP3 as it plays them your enjoyment might be improved by burning them all to a CD with no gaps between tracks.
