Weird!

Here’s an old song, one of my first ever! Well… maybe not really a song but a sort of string of programmed patterns, with some structure to it but not really completed. I found the “weird sample” on a xi collection and couldn’t get enough of it – literally! This dates back to 1997/98 (12 years ago!) and to my early experiments with music so bear with me! It was made with Fast Tracker II – an old MS-DOS tracker that really kicked ass back in the days. It was light sized and packed a lot of features. I remember running it on my windows 95 Pentium 133 mHz with a staggering 16 megs of ram and a vast 1.3 gb disk. Funny how my files survived the onslaught of hard drive formats, viruses, failures, upgrades, etc. Not many people I know keep such old files. Also, this is no ripoff from other modules or anything of the sort. It was all sequenced by me – hence the simplicity.

The Whores Of Babylon

veiled.jpgEverything they do and say might even fool a clever mind
Just won’t forget their price to pay as silk betrays and truth unwinds
Cling, cling to your mind, my words. Never trust a foreign race
All the sweetness you have heard has put your soul in carbon haze
Cling, cling shattered nerves to the queen you did adore
Has turned to stiff ebonite curves in scarlet waves on a distant shore
Everything they do and say might even fool a clever mind
Just won’t forget their price to pay as silk betrays and truth unwinds
