1. “What have we Become” was inspired by “Howard Bloom”, author of “The Lucifer Principal” and “Global Brain”, and a really good friend of mine. I received an e-mail from Howard some time ago where he highlighted his concerns regarding the fact that Militant Extremists are now armed with Stealth submarines that are capable of striking New York City and Washington with sea to land missiles. It was such a scary prospect that I had to contribute to his cause by writing this song and making people aware of Howard's apocalyptic prophesy.
2. "Stealth” is a catchy little number that examines personal information collection and mass marketing. Everything in life these days seems to revolve around marketing products directly to the individual. I guess this song is a warning to every individual to value your personal information and to keep it locked away from prying eyes.
3. “Hacking Humanity” is a song about a series of unsettling dreams each dream being guided by a higher intelligence. A non local consciousness hacking dreams and artificially planting ideas and thoughts to brain wash and manipulate.
4. "Nothing is Real" is a song about how we all create our own realities. We move through life busily absorbing information and perceiving events. Yet we seldom really consider the possibility that we as individuals can influence the way our lives evolve. This dream of consciousness we call life can be manipulated and solidified by the simple act of “belief”.
5. “Username & Password” is a warning to all those who use the internet. I've tried to divulge the truth behind internet fraud and the loss of personal information. Every time we log on to the net we expose ourselves to information loss, corruption and fraud. In a perfect world the internet should have become a cyber utopia of free speech/expression without control. But it is fast becoming a system of information collection and mass marketing.
6. “All According to Plan” was inspired by an article I read that expressed the view that the US military were deliberately going about their duties incompetently in an attempt to maintain a certain level of social disorder in Iraq. This course of action allows the US government to justify maintaining a military presents in Iraq and allows them to persevere with military action. This song examines the effect of the deliberate incompetence.
7. “To Bridge the Void” questions antiquated belief systems and examines how people put there faith in ideas and concepts that are clearly redundant and archaic. With this song I clearly broke one of my personal social rules and that is never have a discussion/argument with people regarding religion or politics. I've learnt from personal experience that people tend to be very passionate and extremely defensive when faced with religious and political criticism?
8. "Weapons of mass Distraction" contains a lyrical theme revolving around hidden information and media leaked disinformation. I've tried to lift the veil on how we're all kept in the dark and fed lies that control our lives. This is the first song I wrote for this project and pretty much paved the way for the rest of the CD.
9. “Nostalgia” is a song that looks back in history to when nations knew who their enemies were. The central message contained in this song is that warfare has changed to a point where the enemy is virtually invisible. How can you possibly fight a war when you don't know who to fight.
10. “The Bitter Truth” is a song that teaches us to separate fact from fiction and not to blindly accept information that is presented to us. We all need to re-examine everything that we've been told in the past as well as everything that we are being told at present. We need to open our eyes to the truth behind the lie, to separate fact from fiction.
11. "This They Must Never Know" is a spoken word industrial sound scape that contains the secret covenant of the ruling elite. This was a last minute inclusion on the CD; we felt the piece brought the whole CD to a fitting and ominous end.
