Description This song was another SPAM inspired effort. How could anyone delete an email with "MONSTROSITY ALABAMA" as it's subject? It made me think of some Godzilla type character stumbling through some rural town in a typical monster fashion that crushes cars and often causes people to run screaming their heads off. I felt inspired to write a theme song, if you will.

I used some of GB2's Jazzy Drum loops and a bunch of effects to accompany terrifying synthesizer sounds that satisfy my robotic needs. Hope this is dark enough for you that like it dark. Please tell me if you want me to stop.

Lyrics No lyrics of any kind were used in this attempt.

Hardware Oxygen8, iMac G5

Software: GB2

	Loops I really like tunes like this that take overused loops and refresh them and make something new! very nice Thew

Loops
Thanks for commenting Thew. I have to admit, I'm from the "old school" and
originally I would be 100% opposed to using a "preset rythym" in a song.
That's like actually performing the demo song on your new Casio Keyboard!
But after listening and communicating with other MacJammers, I've changed
my mind about loops. I wanted to be perfectly honest and admit I'm using
one of the stock loops so that no one will think I'm trying to be clever.
Personally, I like to make my own rythyms and all parts within the song, but
now I've begun to use the common elements that everyone has and see if I
can use them to create an original sound. Besides, there are some fantastic
loops available.

Now about you, hurry up and get some music online. I went to your website
and saw your great illustration work and the animations were so cool. Can't
wait to hear your music.

	The last words of a spammer? Great one, 5x. This, too, gives me ideas... Now: A kingdom for some time :-)

	Yes that's some nice robotic synth going on. Very new wave. The synths are really cool, they're talking like bots. It could use a deeper and maybe more machinelike pulse backing it up, I think.

	Cool machine I hadn't listened to your early stuff, and it's like finding another side to you. This is melodic but processed - as someone mentioned earlier, sounds like machines talking. I really like this - it has a cool, metallic feel, and the little changes and effects keep you listening all the way through ... got a kinda modern Gary Numan feel to it. Top work, my friend Steve

	HOW? How couldn't so many dig this. Just mesmerizing. Good fun 80's futuristic fun. LL

	five_extra_arms said 1098 days ago
	Yes New Wave. Guilty as charged. I appreciate your idea about the deeper machinelike pulse backing it up. I think we could all use a deeper machinelike pulse every now and then, don't you agree? I'm still experimenting with this, so I'll let you know if somethinig magic comes out of it. Thanks!

	Fool Machine It's funny to me that you didn't know my robotic side first. Everything I do seems robotic in approach to me. I appreciate the Numan comment, since I've obviously been inspired by him. --- five extra arms is not what you thought it'd be.
