about

Originally the hidden track attached to the end of 'Daniel', it somehow ended up as a track in its own right, probably because I love the score, and the experiments with altering the tape speed of the dialogue on the fly worked out quite well, or so I think.

I might not have bothered redoing this one if I hadn't always kicked myself because the original version was sourced from a WAV file that ended up being transferred to tape at 44KHz instead of 48KHz, sounding weirder than before as a result.

This version was mixed taken from the original tape recording of the score and the WAV file of the dialogue, which were then dubbed to 8-track so I could mix the vocals and score independently.

lyrics

Black Mass in B-Minor

"...I couldn't care less what you were doing in that dinky little lab of yours. It's not my concern what goes on there. However. You hurting my wife's feelings by not hugging her IS.
"You see, hurting sweet Nutmeg is something I cannot forgive. So listen well, Jyrras Gianna!
"One day you shall know despair. You shall know misery. You shall know regret. Until that time, you shall wear these marks as a warning.
"In the meantime, however.... care for a cookie? Yes...? No...?
"...They always refuse for some reason."

"There is lambswool under my naked feet..." - those words always come to my mind while listening to the first bars of "Wide Of The Mark". There's undoubtedly quite some "Genesis" heritage to be found in the music on this album. However, the band that is most closely related to "The ID" is certainly "IQ", which is among the favorite bands and artists named by both Peter Albrektsen (gtr, kbd) and Tim Pepper (v, kbd). So the similarity of the names "ID" vs. "IQ" is obviously not purely coincidental. Being a long-time admirer of the creative output of "IQ", this album inevitably reaches my heart. Sven B.

With its debut album, this young band from Vienna follows the footsteps of honorable Austrian prog masters like "Matter Of Taste". The music on this concept album is not of the kind I'd call particularly innovative - it travels pretty much on well known roads paved by many others long ago. However, these youngsters do it in a highly pleasant way, skillfully avoiding the pitfalls of pseudo-progressive phrase rehashing most of the time - certainly more successfully so than several of their experienced grand paragons of prog.
