Sickness 04:53
A thousand demons whisper to me The music in my life is gone This time I'm losing it all Demons in my head assert control I won't speak my mind any more Spectral dance, make me feel this Can't do without your sickness Behold my dry lips Sickness prevails There is no escape Touch my rotten core Sickness calls you We can't get away Driven too far off the edge Used, torn and confused They keep repeating We've got to get out Demons in my head assert control I won't speak my mind any more Spectral dance, make me feel this Can't do without your sickness Behold my dry lips Sickness prevails There is no escape Touch my rotten core Sickness calls you We can't get away This sickness is going to save us I used to be among you, now I'm on the other side

Amplitude 05:07
Amplitude --------- Working lyrics Connected.. to a better life. Connected.. and I'm through Onto you, onto you Hardwired, to you Connected! We're synchronized Connected! We're parallelized Connected! We're synchronized Connected! We are one! We are one! Inside the machine the light is burning Worship data, flood my circuitry Not a man, not a machine Not stuck somewhere in between! Connected! We're synchronized Connected! We're parallelized Connected! We're synchronized Connected! We are one! We are one! Not a man, not a machine Not stuck somewhere in between! Rising above what was once flesh We shall transcend humanity! Just human we used to be Now we're more than machinery Machinery! Complexity saturates my mind Intensity whites out my eyes Not a man, not a machine Not stuck somewhere in between! Amplitude I'm addicted to The only thing that can set me free

Sleep 08:22
Frozen, fallen, shards of crystal Sinking, deeper, cracks manifest Hatred dominates a world without light Can you recall what it meant to exist? (chorus) You took all that you could Why did you hide a world from me? I'm too scared to wake up again Leave behind an untrue sympathy Erase everything that had a faint meaning Wash away the stars A new moon shall rise Symbols of self fade away Into a place of dismal (chorus) You took all that you could Why did you hide a world from me? I'm too scared to wake up again The dream was never meant to be What you took an illusion Lied at the core of our making We need not remain still At the nightfall We're smeared in sin We're dying in vain The lie that became us The revenge that seduced us How can I hate all that we are? What better way to die? I'm going back to sleep Away from your word That I rejected. I'm dreaming anyway.

about

This album is an issue of earlier unreleased material which combines elements of old school electronic industrial, noise, IDM, & EBM from our work during 2000-2005. Seven tracks with science fiction stories cover subjects around a common theme of transcending the human flesh into a mechanical existence. Transform tells the story of a machine bootstrapping itself into a higher-order of consciousness. Sickness is about the psychological troubles and metamorphosis of an AI hacker whose mind is inhabited by artificial voices. Cypherpunk Alliance is a noisy and rhythmic celebration of cypherpunk culture, cryptography and hacking. Amplitude is the march of the transhuman, among the rush of often purposefully detuned and occasionally dissonant flag bearing music of machinekind, we listen to an enthusiastic call to brain-to-brain interfaces and brain simulations running on optical computing hardware urging us to transcend humanity. >H is a collaboration between Malfunct and KNBO, the incredibly aggressive beats belong to KNBO, which is the music of the posthuman, a completely mechanical non-humanoid posthuman form has been achieved, and we are well on our way to a synthetic world mind that encompasses the globe; the serene art of an intelligent agent that far surpasses human level of intelligence is attempted in this hyper-modernist piece. Sleep is the story of an AI hacker who has gotten weary of the rising tide of pseudoscience, apathy and totalitarianism, and decides to enter a cryochamber for a hundred years; we listen to his dark and rebellious feelings before he slips into a long and cold sleep. Cloud City depicts an orbital city around an exoplanet in the not-so-near future with autonomous robots and humans living in harmony; a joyous experience we cannot yet fathom.
