"electrobaby fanfare" (884 KB)
This track was meant to be the introductory fanfare, played as the lights dimmed and the curtain withdrew, to show the feature production of my life. It begins with the sounds of a baby crying and an irregular frequency pulsed electromagnetic current. This would represent my being electrocuted while in the womb by my mother, accidentally, while her friend, my father's other lover, did nothing. This track is combined with "All Hail the American Night," a sound-clip from his album of poetry called "The American Night," by Jim Morrison, my hero, which is followed by the Twentieth Century Fox fanfare for their films. In other words, "start the show"!

"Jack Won":: beat-off mix (3.6 MB)
This track combines the first two tracks off the first cd of the box-set called "The Beat Generation" from Rhino Records, that chronicles the great music and poetry readings of the late 40's and early 50's middle-American art-scene. This generation, the first to follow the "Greatest Generation" who fought in WWII, defined themselves as "hip" and their parents values as "square," and thus defined themselves as the first American counter-culture. This hommage combines "Opp-Pop-A-Da" by Dizzy Gillespie and his orchestra with "San Francisco Scene" (an excerpt from his novel "On the Road") read by the author Jack Kerouac.

"New Whirled Order" (5.6 MB)
opening this track is the "breaking news" alarm from one of the subsequent radio broadcasts interpolated throughout the rest of this song. Then the beat drops, it's a track called "Confusion" by the group "New Order." The radio broadcast introduces us to the date, "July, 8th, 1947" one week after the Roswell UFO crash. Interjected is Eisenhower declaring Pearl Harbour, "a date which will live in infamy." The UFO crash announcement continues, and is then again interupted, this time by Neil Armstrong, first man to walk on the moon, repeating his famous line, "that's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." After this the news of the Roswell crash continues again, this time to be cut off by Jim Morrison announcing "Adolph Hitler is still alive," from the infamous concert in Miami. Then the chorus comes in. It is Bosco's song "Satellite" from the soundtrack to the Tomb Raider movie. This is followed by the speech announcing the mission to the moon delivered by US president John Kennedy. Following this break-down is the radio news announcement of the assassination of President Kennedy. Immediately upon this is the second chorus, the "New World Order" mission speech of President George Bush Sr. and in conclusion his son, president George Bush Jr.'s famous quote about 9-11, "there's one terrible pilot."

"Doctor Versus Doctor":: Battle Mix (5.7 KB)
This beat is by DJ-QBert from "Dr. Octagon, the Instrumentalist," which is just the tunes from "Dr. Octagonycologist" mixed down without Kool Keith's raps over them. This track is the bonus off "Instrumentalist" called "Tricknology 101." The track opens with two quotes of Dr. Tim Leary saying he was dead. The second quote is from a longer sound bite from "Beyond Life." Following this Timothy Leary, accompanied by a female vocalist for the second two thirds, recites from his translation of Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" called "Psychedelic Prayers," along with a monologue to "Ralph," the character of the reading, accompanied by sitar.

This track is a drum and bass remix of the intro (music) and outro (chant) from Sarah Brightman's song "Eden" from the album of the same name.

"Genesis":: Mix 1 (4.4 KB)
The beat for this track is "Nothing But You" by Paul Van Dyk, the "Vandit Radio Mix" from the "Nothing But You" single. The vocal layer of the track combines with this, "Inama Nushif" from the montage scene of Sci-Fi channel's "Children of Dune." Then over this background, I superimposed a "Liber-Vox" public domain recording of Genesis: 1-2 being read as an audio-book in Hebrew.

"Guru":: 21st century "Art of War"(4.8 KB)
The beat (including the solo sitar and short Hindu speech in the intro) is "My Guru" by DJ Shadow and Dan the Automator, off "Bombay the Hard Way." The vocal track is a "Liber-Vox" public domain recording of chapters 5 (Energy) and 6 (Weak Points), as well as chapter 11 (the nine situations) of Sun Tzu's "The Art of War," read by Moira Fogharty.

"Revelations":: Jones mix (4.3 KB)
This track combines "The Well of Souls" and portions from "The Miracle of the Ark" from the soundtrack to the first Indiana Jones movie, "Raiders of the Lost Ark" with a "Liber-Vox" public domain recording of someone reading chapters 17 and 18 from the Book of Revelations, the New Testament of the Bible, American Standard Version, read by Sam Stinson.

"I Love You, Irina":: virus 1.B (4.4 KB)
I've been working on this track for a long time as an introduction to the track "Ire" on my album "Rap" (Singles). It combines Stephen Merrit singing the "Magnetic Fields'" song "Book of Love" with "Storybook Love" by Mark Knopfler from "the Princess Bride" soundtrack. I've also combined elements of "Tigerlilly" by "Beatmistress," "Bittersweet Symphony" by "the Verve," and "Prayer" by "Disturbed."
