Eyes holding back lunatics, hypocrites your bleeding heart, my bleeding heart this soul's been cut by the best blades money can buy As the scar tissue hardens over the hole the surrounding tissue suffers the cold and tries to swallow the wound But it all gives way much too soon As the cancer spreads, I lay in my bed with open eyes, with burning mind And try to find that place in my chest where the actual me used to rest With open eyes with burning mind I try to find that place place in my chest

lyrics

My feet callused hard from the quickening pace eyes burning wet from the chemical haze I climb up this hill to look down from above surfing on a cloud of technological love Smoke stacks heart attacks, statistics galore from the second we're born, we have a foot out the door wired this, wired that, they gave my dog a brain implant now rover too has joined the race, his programmed tongue to lick my face Now, my eggshell car has an artificial brain and I can't loose control, even in the acid rain so I coast through the streets, of this concrete entity looking at reflections of what used to be me With my feet callused hard from the quickening pace my eyes burning wet from the chemical haze I’ve made it to the top and reach down from above surfing on a cloud of technological love

about

Inclusions finishes a journey started with my first album, Detached. Traveling from edgy industrial electronics and crunchy vocal treatments to ethereal pads, dance beats, guitars, computerized vocals, strings, harps, and brass as the album finishes on a lofty blue note.

Inclusions and Detached were intended to be a two disc album of light and dark duality. The two albums have been separated by time and various projects, until now.

Like inclusions in a gemstone, Inclusions is a tribute to all the hidden wonders in life that often go overlooked.

The songs of Inclusions and its companion album Detached were written between 1994 and 1999. They document my trials and tribulations, relationships, amazing adventures and journey from youth into adulthood. Each song remains true to its time and heart.

I was fortunate enough to assemble some old friends and talented musicians to produce this album. It was an amazing journey into the past and an excellent beginning to a new chapter of music making.

I love everything about music, I hope this album makes that note loud and clear.

Uncompressed digital tracks are 24 bit, 48 kHz. Purchase of digital album includes digital wall papers in 1920x1080 - 144 DPI.

"All my years I was saying that the music is the most important force of the Universe and its generator. The extraordinary thing is that the primitive man, having to face all the difficulties of survival, at the same time he found the time to create the first instruments. Therefore, a stretched skin became a drum, few holes in a bamboo became a flute and few tied strings became a harp and so on. I don’t consider that as a luxury for these people but as a basic need. That is something that continues until our days." —Vangellis
