Thanks a lot to Yani and Ray for giving me the opportunity to do this.


This is the eighth track off "Demanufacture." Although it's one of the
less-played tracks off the album, I think it's pretty good and it'd
probably be a lot of fun to play with a band (except the absence of all
the keyboards might make it sound a little empty).  Dino doesn't pull
any surprises with his sound--it's just the standard scooped sound (no
midrange, lots of treble, lots of bass) layered with an equally tight
distortion.
