Within

Suite of The Ages

A sonic juxtaposition

of medieval melody with rock

in a cathedral.

Visuals are the echo-chambers

of an inheritance of prosperity

built on murder,

genocide and slavery.

Fanatics, enabled by

a status quo virtuosity,

have successfully dulled empathy

for their victims

throughout human history.

All modern societies

are based on rationalizing

these atrocities.

It's the same denial

the distance of time

would have granted

the Nazis and Hirohito Japan

if they won WW2.

Imagination about the gods,

flight, conquering nature, etc

led to our technology...

and Climate Change.

The song concludes with

modern prophecy - science fiction -

hopeful of a recovery.

The Dictatorship of The Proletariat

Poem, 06-04-1989.

The original video became

a top call in request

for Access Cable in Austin, Texas.

Updated FB Demo 2019 as still relevant,

because Hong Kong suffers today for never forgetting Tiananmen Square.

Meanwhile, your iPhone, Android,

and countless goods are assembled

in China dirt cheap,

so Corporations can make big bank.

Marxism as it really happened...

And Corporatism capitalizing on it.
This step back in time is literal =

the only remaining recordings,

DAT and 4Track A440,

from the '80s

I deemed worth updating.

A few new guitar inserts,

vocals, and visuals

making them current.

We felt these songs then.

We still do now.

30+ years ago The Berlin Wall fell....

The joy, after centuries of oppression,

that created this music in 1989,

was co-opted in a decade

by Putin and his Corporatists.

So a current visual has been added

since the FB Demo in 2019

wherein Ukraine was seen

as the next attack after Crimea.

That has now come to pass.

Ukraine victory

is now the Volga Land hope.

Additional dubs are an unbroken take.

Various moods are encompassed - especially for headphones -

using mixing styles from 50's Hi-Fi to present day Alternative Rock.

Visuals are an immersive examination of historical facts.
