I love 'The Art of War' by Sun Tzu, and have read it over 12 times in my life. So when I heard this song, it was a real treat! Both the book and VNV nation rules!
Wow! This is High Voltage! A floorfiller in a disco. Played in the climax of the session and with the flashes syncronized. It's a nice heir to "We will survive" (aka The Blade theme).
Centhron: This song is perfectly VNV, it's just a decade late. I have to admit I didn't like it for a long time, but once I heard the lyrics I loved it.
"The general who advances without seeking fame and retreats without fear of disgrace, whose only thought is the protection of his country and service to his sovereign...is the jewel of his kingdom."
Wow. I get chills everytime I hear that. I once drove a few hundred miles late at night, and everytime this song came up I'd speed like a maniac down the dark highway.
Yeah I love that quote as well because it's so true, this song is so amazing. Taking such amazing quotes from The Art of War. It's amazing such old words speak such truth even til this day. Absolutely amazing.
huh. Matter and Form is easily my favorite VNV album. Then again, unlike most, I prefer the harder instrumental stuff to the pretty drum-less ballads... :/
