LINER NOTES

"The Goth Kid"

This song is based on the news sample in the beginning, "the goth kid who was teased for his tall stature and dark clothing".  It was taken from a tv news report about a school shooting by an American teenager, much like the Columbine murders.  The second vocal sample is from Michael Moore's "Bowling for Columbine", in which Moore asks Marilyn Manson what he would say to the boys who killed the students and themselves at Columbine.  "I wouldn't say a single word to them, I 'd listen to what they had to say...and that's what no one did".

Children murdering children in America is a common occurrance, but people rarely acknowledge the pressure that some people face and the conditions that drive them to kill.  This song is about the tragedy and paradox of meeting agression with more agression...something the US Government demonstrates with it's policies, and at the same time admonishes its citizens for following.


"One Life To Live"

An upbeat collaboration between M.Fusion and Radioinactive.  The track is a reconstruction of Ryuichi Sakamoto's music from the film "Wings of Honneamise" with breakbeats and extra sounds.

"Plan 9 RemixMillion"

We did alot of versions of this song, that's why this is called the millionth remix.  This version features the acapella version of "Plan 9.5" from 2004's "Expo 70" and the music of "Plan 99" from 2006's "Possession". The original version of Plan 9 was on "The Blue EP", released in 2000, and did not have any vocals.
