    June 7th was the 4 year anniversary of one of my favorite albums I have made, Analogue Oceans. I have never printed physical copies of it before and I thought there was no better way to celebrate its 4 year anniversary than with this extremely limited run of Analogue Oceans minidiscs! I have always hated CDs, and cassettes are great but are pretty Lo-Fi in terms of sound quality. Minidiscs are great because they are super rugged like a cassette but also have great audio fidelity! There is no better way to experience this album than through good headphones on a portable MD player with the mega bass cranked up!
    If you are in need of a minidisc player, deals can be found on eBay, and you should scoop one up because I plan on releasing more of my catalog on minidisc!

    Recorded with love on a Sharp MD-SR60 (ATRAC version Sharp 6) via TOSLINK digital optical cable. All album and track information is stored in the minidisc’s TOC. Don’t miss out on this extremely limited run of Analogue Oceans minidiscs!

lyrics

Future bright future bleak
Future bright future bleak
Future bright future bleak
Future bright future bleak

Mentally moving the monsters away from studio monitors
soothing soul author poetical hella ill awesome ventriloquist
spilling sick sound waves that shift
outbound sound profound switchblade slit
jugular like jaguar cat insane Cheshire
crazy locomotive motivated to move like man on fire
buggin' outer space regional corrupted electronic waste
obsolete computer components give food battery acid taste
pass the acid test with flying colors when I'm under
influential chemicals like an edible fungal hunter
enter the endless time vanish years appear to pass in seconds
span the bandwidth of the LAN with the hyper progressive methods
cybernetic organisms live longer than most would care to mention
bionic chemical composition catastrophic tension

Future bright future bleak
Future bright future bleak
Future bright future bleak
Future bright future bleak

Tyranical telepathic terrestrial man
with mechanical tentacles choking you out with no hands
kinetic Krylon can spray lyrical bystand
words color concrete canvas up to the canopy and
outbound outlander metal microphone manger
macroscopic bombing coming out of the mouths of unhonest demonics
harmonics clash with overtones vocal tones roam
over eventual meltdown ventricle fail now
karmaticlly kicked out booted deported
mentally shrooming in Shanghai music
stay high above cloud conglomerates chemically ominous
until words change towards new intentions with new force
crushing carnivorous cadavers with star cluster antimatter
after the rapture slashes crews like reptilian raptors

Future bright future bleak
Future bright future bleak
Future bright future bleak
Future bright future bleak

San Diego sixty nine yin and with a one up in the center
future enter the business venture of massive burning cash expenditure
economic stimulus rapage, operative psychotic
opposition optimal rogue restaurant serving up the arsenal audit
systematic assessment, for efficiency or effectiveness
know misery loves company, situational objectionist
objection to any nemesis not believing in existence
and in fictitious godlessness within a cashless system
if you think its religious rap better check the second definition
spinning thoughts like rusty pennies into a wishing well thats spilling
over to the other side of your train of comprehension
no longer chemically induced lab rats in animation suspension
breaking you outta that box you've been confined into
modulating the circuitry altered by those your being lied to

Future bright future bleak
Future bright future bleak
Future bright future bleak
Future bright future bleak
