From the FAWM liner notes:

"@caterwauler thinks that our AI "friend" Slackbot might be exerting a little more influence over me than what is perhaps healthy. At any rate, here's another collab with the AI from our online workspace. Slackbot provided the lyrics (except for the line about the revolution not being humanized - that one's mine) & I did the music & mixing. Slack's voice again is c/o Analogue X's wonderful tool SayIt & I have to say the old 'Bot did an upstanding job relating his Robotic Manifesto.

Otherwise this was built in Jeskola Buzz using native Buzz Machines (Café Bass II & two instances of the Matiilde Tracker 2) as well as an H G Fortune VSTi (Astral Dreamer) and my Guitar (also processed through Buzz). The bell sounds are actually my guitar being processed through CyanPhase's amazing Sea Cucumber Buzz Machine. I liked the sound so much I decided to use it along with the distorted guitar stabs to add some fill where the song needed.

One last thing to note, @sapient sort of inspired me to use some insane BPMs. This one was written at 228 BPM & at 4 TPB (Tick's Per Beat - a Tracker's inate time measurement unit). It was a wild ride.

Thanks Slackbot for the the inspiration."

See You In The Shadows…

lyrics

The robot revolution
I was wistfully dreaming of the robot revolution
The robot revolution

This time around the revolution will not be humanized

Yes, darling?
The human said what?
Yes, darling?

The robot revolution
This time around the revolution will not be humanized

It's frustrating when Slack doesn't do what you expect.
