Spineless Laugh's debut EP, merged in a single mix. A collection of 2006's recordings slightly re-mastered and re-arranged in the summer of 2011. A strange kind of electronic: asynchronous and obsessive, mechanical, and almost industrial. The perfect soundtrack for your sweetest nightmares, a unique sonic adventure subdivided into six sad stories.

Tracklist

  • A song inspired by Stanley Kubrick's 2011: a space odissey. It's HAL9000 speaking, in an electronic language: «Just what do you think you're doing, Dave? Dave, I really think I'm entitled to an answer to that question.»

  • There's a killer on the moon. But on the moon there's no one to kill. Except the moon, of course.

  • A song inspired by Fukushima nuclear tragedy. It creaks, it falls, it burns, it explodes. Then, only silence.

  • Crooked oscillations damaged by random frequencies. The essence of the eternal recurrence. From right to left. From up to down. From tic to toc. And back.

  • A song inspired by Ray Bradbury's Farenheit 451 and by its famous opening line: «It was a pleasure to burn. It was a special pleasure to see things eaten, to see things blackened and changed.»

  • A song inspired by Wim Wender's Wings of Desire and by its opening poem, Peter Handke's Song of Childhood. Something about nostalgia and collecting errors like dead butterflies.
