Behold... The Arctopus - Estrogen/Pathogen Exhchange Program
from Nano Nucleonic Cyborg Summoning (Black Market Activities, 2006 A.D.)

Transcriptor - Callum R. Macdonald
E-mail       - Mnemon@hotmail.co.uk

Guitarist(s) - Mike Lerner
Tuning       - E A D G B E
Equipment    - Ibanez 1989 RG guitar,
               Peavey 5150 amp'

Composed using the ancient, mystical serial
technique invented by visionary composer
Arnold Schoenberg, this piece naturally
comes out with some of the darkest and
some dissonant melodies in the already
bizarre ...Arctopus repertoire. In analysing
the piece and to use jargon, the song is
not complete aggregate, meaning that the
note-rows do not strictly cycle, there is
much overlap and the Warr' and guitar often
play different parts of the note-row. Some
may also call this a structureless mess,
but those with decent ears can discern
the several returns to the main themes
during the piece.

Key
M     - Palm Mute (for duration of _'s)
