I'm proud to announce the release of Mechanical Organic's third album "Disrepair Part Two –
The Pleasure Fled" containing the monstrous 17 minute epic “Into the Fangs
of Lunacy”. This one track contains some of our most unique writing and
we're very proud of the musical content, vocal themes and lyrics. During the
writing process we came to the realization that we have the ability to
release music in whatever format, length and quantity we like. We
have decided to concentrate on releasing longer
epic style songs rather than your more traditional style album containing
ten tracks. "Disrepair Part Two – The Pleasure Fled" is the beginning of
this new found philosophy and we hope to release more music in this format
within the year of 2009 and beyond. We hope to further the conceptual range
of the political/conspiratorial “Disrepair” series with many more such
releases. "Disrepair Part Two – The Pleasure Fled" was recording during
the summer of 2008/2009 at my studio in the beautiful Dandenong Ranges in
Victoria, Australia. All guitars were recorded by Connie D and
all bass was recorded by Evan Harris. The album was mastered at Indie Masters by Paul Fox.
I must thank Connie D and Evan Harris for their amazing musical
contribution to this album and I'm so glad they were both able to lend
their unique musical talent to this project. I'm really looking forward to
working with you both again on the next Mech Org release.
I hope you all enjoy the
new release. It will be available for download online very soon so
check back here often.
Cheers
Eddie

9. Your lyrics are politically driven and also cover conspiratorial
topics… Do you think, if we take for granted (which I think it’s the most
logical thing), that a grand scheme to exploit us humans exists, that we
humans can wake up form this dream and be able to do something? Even so…
do you think most people would be ready and willing to make such a drastic
change in their lives? I’m asking this because I see many people who
accept certain behavioural patterns just because they got used to them and
know what to expect…
Eddie: Ignorance is bliss so they say. Sometimes I think you may be better
off not knowing. I really don’t think we as a whole will suddenly wake up
and overthrow the puppet masters. This has been going on for centuries and
the problem only seem to be getting worse. Look, there are a lot of people
who are familiar with these types of conspiratorial concepts but they
simply don’t believe, then there are others that are completely oblivious.
There are also people who believe much more than I do, people who are much
deeper down the rabbit hole than I am. You can’t believe everything you
read on the internet. I decided long ago that I would draw the line at
certain conspiratorial subjects. I’ve had argument with people who believe
all sort of weird conspiracy related stuff but I just try to take a really
realistic approach to this type of subject matter. I also try to keep my
personal opinions to myself because everyone has a different opinion and
people can get very aggressive at times when you challenge their belief
system. I’ve learnt from experience not to confront people with this type
of information due to some of the negative reactions I have received. I’ve
done a lot research in the past but I’ve always filtered it and developed
my own view based on that knowledge. I discard the info I find too out
there and keep the stuff that makes real sense to me. I encourage everyone
to take a look at this type of stuff but be very skeptical and don’t
believe everything you read.
13. The whole package of this release is extremely beautiful! Whose idea
was it to release it in that form? I simply love it! And please also
describe the cover artwork… Who is this dark figure? What does it stand
for?
Eddie: Again, the concept of the cover artwork was my idea. I’m always
looking for new images and fresh ways to present my work and this seemed
to be a really cool way to release the promo copies of the CD. The cover
artwork is a patchwork of different machinery is different stages of decay
and disrepair. The insects are also in various stages of decomposition and
decay. The beautiful mushroom images was used as a kind of running theme,
have you ever heard the expression “kept in the dark and fed bullshit”
well that’s the idea behind the mushroom. I believe we are all kept in the
dark and fed a bunch of lies. The mysterious figure or mask that is on the
promo copy of the CD is basically there for it’s sense of mystery. He’s
the figure that controls the broken system, he is the cause of the
disrepair.

Hey there Eddie!
Just a quick one to wish you (and your family) the best of health in the
new year!
Also, and more to the point, I wanna tell you that for me personally your
Permafrost Dreams album has been THE highlight of the year!
As I may have told you, I started working with an mp3-player late last
year (ehrm...late 2007, that is), ripping the albums I have to review onto
that handy little thing so that I can listen to music whenever I'm about
(I used to do that with a portable cd-player, but the sheer size of that
was often encumbersome...also the cd had a tendency to skip quite
regularly due to small shocks - even though they're supposed to be shock
resistant).
Well, after having made the review for your album, I had let it stay on
the mp3-player, just in case I would get the chance to listen to it again
on a slow moment with the website. Another band for which I did that was
Italy's Mainline...but only for about 6 months! Well, as it turns
out...and quite in spite of the fact that I've had to review a total of
508 album over the whole of the year, there was indeed some occasional
time to listen to your album all over again...and occasionally I even had
enough time to give the album two listening sessions in a row (just like
I'll be able to do this very night!)!
Now usually, after having listened to an any album a certain amount of
times, I tend to get...bored ain't really the word for it, so let's say I
grow sufficiently accustomed to it to be able to store it away both in the
collection and memory! And I have to say...I'm still not ready to do that
where Permafrost Dreams is concerned! You know, I am still enjoying that
album like as if it was the first time I got the grasp of it, and I'm
still trying to "catalog" all the little details in my mind, I'm still
trying to get what those other radio commentators are talking about in the
background during Darryl's exposé on the Zionist enemy (usually I get lost
after a while, because some musical detail tears me away from my
concentration).
In other words, if I were asked to actually make "Best Albums Of 2008"
lists (it would have to be several lists, as it would be unfair not to
make a list for each sub-genre I'm forced to dabble in), there would be
only one on top of 'em all, no matter what...and most deservedly so
indeed, because no other album I have listened to (in all of my 47 years
of existence) has ever been able to keep my attention for that long!
Right...having said that, how's life treating you these days, my dear
friend from Down Under? Hope the last year has been good for you and your
family! How's the next Mech Org album coming along? I mean...I simply know
you've been working on something new already...because people with the
kind of creativity like yourself are bound to keep themselves occupied
with new projects all the time! It's part of our lives like the need for
breathing and feeding!
By the way...I would be very interested to listen to one of your
meditation recordings (Pathway To Perfection, wasn't it?). If you could
manage to include a such disc - might even for review on the website, you
know, because I am far from choosy when it comes to the promotion of music
- in the promo package for a next Mech Org album, that would be so
appreciated!
Well, signing off for the moment, and again sending you the warmest
greetings (where at the moment
temperatures vary form -10°C to -19°C for the coldest winter in the area
since...oh well, some 20 years or so)
Your pal/ fan from Belgium,
Tony
