Digital Geist - Thanks For All The Fish

Track: Thanks for All the Fish

Everything that starts has to end. Even in a circular system if you draw it there's a point where you started drawing it and a terminating stroke where the pen leaves the paper. There are at least two ways to view something like this - it's over and cannot be repeated or conversely it's beginning and will never be the same. Such is the way I look at this album after investing almost a year from start to finish on it.

"Thanks for all the Fish" is another nod to my sci-fi loving roots of course, but with this one it's not quite as jolly as the original author would appreciate. With an album that you get inspired to write like this one, writing the final notes and bouncing the final track out of the sequencer in a mastered state really gives me a melancholy feeling - almost as if a good friend is leaving forever.

Again we have sidechaining and a nice crunchy lead - also a house beat that just won't go away, almost like the song is fighting not to end. After a nice lengthy intro of reversed pad sounds it busts out, and with the coda we have a seemingly endless delay. The end of "The Apollo Progam" in my opinion is much more sombre than "The Zero Engine" - which although it ended with a few remixes the track "Segway" was the last original track - and very validating in my opinion. There's no fluff on this album, no gimmicks to boost sales and the like. It stands on it's own.
