Systems Theory

Systems Theory is an indie internet project, performing a highly cinematic blend of progressive-rock, space-rock, ambient-electronica, world music and dark-soun

Systems Theory is an internet project that started at the rec.music.progressive usenet newsgroup. It consists of Greg Amov, Steven Davies-Morris and Mike Dickson. The project performs a highly cinematic progressive-electronic / world music / prog-rock / fusion hybrid, welding high-tech modern electronica, dark ambience and acoustic ethnic styles with spacerock aggression, a dash of free-jazz exploration, and some old-fashioned symphonic-prog bombast. So this makes Systems Theory an odd "Indie / Avant / Experimental" band, though it could just as easily be classified as "Electronic", "Cinematic" or "World-Fusion".

Story behind the song

Systems Theory has finally got to a point at which a "proper" album will be released. While we wait for the product to arrive back in our hot little hands, we thought we'd offer a promotional "concentrate" of track edits from "Soundtracks For Imaginary Movies".  So Mike volunteered to assemble this to provide a good idea of what the album is about.

Tracks showcased:
East Of Trincomalee
Green Miata Baja Bound
Silent Service
Four Piece Suit
Night Express
Last Letters From Stalingrad

Effects and transitions from other "Soundtracks For Imaginary Movies" and future album cuts are also in there:
Memory Of Ur
The Cool Vibe Of Asia C.
A Lifeboat, Tallulah And Me
Red Sun Fading
Zero Sum Equation
One Step To Freefall

Lyrics

The sequence for those trying to figure it out is:
Opening sound effects from "Memory Of Ur"
into transition snip from "The Cool Vibe Of Asia C."
into jet fighter effect (also from "MOU")
into edit from "East Of Trincomalee"
into cricket sound effect from "MOU"
into edit from "Green Miata Baja Bound"
into effects from "A Lifeboat, Tallulah And Me"
into edit from "Silent Service"
with overlaid snip from "Red Sun Fading"
into edit from "Four Piece Suit" -- last movement "Solar Flared Trousers"
with overlaid sea-gull effects from "A Lifeboat, Tallulah And Me"
into transition snip from "Zero Sum Equation"
into (hammond) edit from "Night Express"
with crowd effect edit from "Tactics Of Mistake"
into bomb from "Last Letters From Stalingrad"
overlaid onto flute coda from "One Step To Freefall"
into (death march) coda from "LLFS"
into effects from "MOU"
into an old Mellotron Mk II tape effect
