Like a Continuous Cycle 03:04

Just twenty-to-seven in the morning - I don't know if you can see that on my watch? You can't hold your hand in the water... And er like... it just becomes a Continuous Cycle.

We are Thinking About Machines taking over. We are thinking about the possibility of machines taking over. Machines taking over.

Transhumanism 03:11
lyrics
Supplanting the real with the fake... The organic with the inorganic... The carbon with the silicon... The biological with the artificial. Almost everything around us is a facade. Almost everything around us is a facade. All these fake things are being created from some sort of virus. We may not have much longer to act in choosing the path between humanism and Trans-humanism.

Electrified 03:24
lyrics
Uh... you have a system of electricity that runs through you body and your brain. Throughout your system, you're totally Electrified. Whenever you were born, the electricity was in you. Throughout your system, you're totally Electrified. Whenever you were born, the electricity was in you. Throughout your system, you're totally Electrified.

That's Right 03:42
lyrics
Close your eyes - That's Right... That's Right... That's Right... I want you to discover the difference between your thinking and your doing. That's right. And now I want you to try, just try. That's right... That's Right. I want you to discover the difference between your thinking and your doing. That's right. And now I want you to try, just try.

Machines Have Taken Over 04:04
lyrics
Machines Have Taken Over. We are thinking about the possibility of entities being able to grasp concepts which are as far beyond the human mind as quantum theory is beyond a monkey's mind.

Resting Deeply Now 02:35
lyrics
Resting Deeply Now. Just enjoying listening to the sound of my voice. And allowing me to talk to your subconscious mind. Resting Deeply Now. Just enjoying listening to the sound of my voice. Resting Deeply Now. Resting Deeply Now. And allowing me to talk to your subconscious mind. And allowing me to talk to your subconscious mind. And allowing me to talk to your subconscious mind. And allowing me to talk to your subconscious mind.

After the Machines 07:17
info

about

Humans continue to make themselves redundant by replacing themselves with technology.

As processing power continues to increase exponentially, at some point a computer or android will become self-aware - i.e. it will become aware of itself as a living entity.

With all computers networked to each other via the internet, what will be the eventual outcome of this emerging "machine-consciousness"?

The final track on the album is called "After the Machines" - maybe it'll be like the video! www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXRrESUsf_g&list=PL4BxDLMd8DWwa9qM2eAU3neDA6AVhEq71
