Howdy there. I hope you're enjoying this assembly. I put quite
a lot of effort into it, actually.

This piece has admittedly plenty of influence from a very old,
somewhat unknown song made by Fleshbrain, called 'Timebandit'.
Unknown, I assume, because it was not included among his songs
in the Mods Anothology CD. His 'Timebandit' was one of the
truly creative classics; it is very old however, born near the
very beginnings of the Amiga tracker music genre, so the sound
and the instrumentation weren't among the best (the very
concepts were being built around that time); however, the
mockingly cool melody and well made, working structure make it
a true delight. My regards to the old master.
Other influence that may show in this production are from
Purple Motion, Captain, and of course the amazing Mechanism
Eight by the even more amazing Necros. :)
Plus, of course, you may notice it has a rhythm structure very
similar to my earlier releases Rama Gardens, Omniphilia
and Data Jack. It's starting to look like a real series now,
isn't it? Eh. Either I'm still 'refining the concept', or am
just plain out of ideas. Hopefully someday I will learn how to
give a song a real STRUCTURE.
During the making of the song, my friend came to hear it and
said it sounds quite a bit like KMFDM's new stuff - and played
me the CD. Bleh. I thought this kinda music was something
new. :) Later after that, another friend of mine told me it
reminds him of Power Rangers. Aaaaaarghh!!! NOOOO!!!
*ahem*
This is not a 'real song', as it doesn't consist of parts of
equal length, repeated in a correct sequence, nor a 'base
theme'. Rather, it is a mere random sequence of rhythmic
components. This has always been my problem; I tend to come up
with a shitload of loose ideas, but cannot arrange them properly.
Check out the loose 'bonus part' for example. I simply couldn't
fit it in!
Necros's Mechanism Eight is, in my opinion, a very fine example
of how much one can build on a working basic theme; the simple
three-note main theme repeats through the whole song, but the
song doesn't suffer from this at all - vice versa. There is
enough variance and the rhythmically correct sequencing which
keep the song entertaining all the way. It is also fine example
of great mixing skills.
Sample credits go to Purple Motion and Edge's Korg 03R/W for
the ultracool IMissJimi guitar samples and the PowerRock blast,
Groo for the Bass Grind and MinorArp, HeatBeat for the hardcore-
ish Constructor techno drums, Travolta for the organ chords,
Bruno for the PetraSnare, Necros for the KorgTotalkit.snare,
Airwalk for the CannedSnare, and my larynx for the screams
except for #37. :)
The rest of the samples are sample synthetized, or from
unknown sources, thanks go to whoever they are. Special thanks
go to Liam the Lemming for coming up with a divine inspiration
for the name of the song. It's now been changed TWO times. :)
Signed,

Mp3 file details
Open the waveform at full size (opens in a new tab)
- Scan status Whether the station’s analyser could read this mp3. “OK” means every number in this box was measured from the actual audio, not copied from a tag that somebody typed.
- OK
- measured from the file itself
- Scanned When the file was last analysed. If the mp3 is replaced afterwards, these numbers describe the old version until it is scanned again.
- File size How much room the mp3 takes on a disk, and how much data you use when you play or download it. It is roughly the bit rate multiplied by the length.
- 10.9 MB
- 11 440 227 bytes
- File last changed When the mp3 on our server was last written - usually the day it was uploaded, or encoded again.
- Length How long the recording plays. It is measured from the audio itself, so it is right even when a tag in the file says something else.
- 6:21
- minutes : seconds
- Tempo How fast the tune goes, in beats per minute - the speed you would tap your foot at. This was measured automatically by the station's analyser (ffmpeg and bpm-tools' "bpm"), not typed in by a person, so it is not guaranteed to be 100% accurate: tunes without a steady beat can throw it, and where it is wrong it is usually exactly half or double the tempo you would count.
- 135 BPM
- a dancing tempo
- Bit rate How much data is spent on each second of sound. More data keeps more detail when the audio is squeezed into an mp3: 128 kbit/s is acceptable, 192 is good, and 320 is the most an mp3 can hold.
- 240 kbit/s
- good quality
- Sample rate Digital audio is a long row of measurements of the sound wave. This is how many are taken every second. 44.1 kHz is the CD standard and 48 kHz the video and broadcast standard - both capture everything a human ear can hear.
- 44.1 kHz
- 44 100 measurements a second
- Channels How many separate signals the file holds. Mono is one. Stereo is two - left and right - which is what lets a sound be placed somewhere between your speakers.
- Stereo
- 2 channels
- Codec The method used to shrink the audio. MP3 leaves out the detail an ear is least likely to miss, which makes the file about a tenth of the size of the original recording.
- MP3
- Loudness The average loudness of the whole recording, the way a listener hears it (“integrated loudness”, in LUFS). The closer to 0, the louder. Music services aim for about -14 and podcasts for about -16, so that you do not have to reach for the volume between tracks.
- −15.8 LUFS
- typical for streaming and podcasts
- Loudness range The distance between the quiet passages and the loud ones, in LU (1 LU is 1 dB). A small number means an even, compressed sound - good in a car or on a phone. A large number means big swings between soft and loud.
- 4.7 LU
- very even
- True peak The highest level the signal ever reaches, including the peaks that appear between the measurements when the file is turned back into sound. 0 is the ceiling: above about -1 dBTP, a recording can crackle (“clip”) on some players.
- −1.8 dBTP
- safely below the ceiling
- Dynamic range How far the loudest peaks stand above the loud parts of the recording, in dB - the “DR” number that music collectors compare albums by. A low number (under 8) means the sound has been squeezed until everything is equally loud: punchy, but tiring to listen to. 14 and up means the music has room to breathe, with real hits and real quiet. It says nothing about how loud the file is: turning the volume down does not change it. Chip music made of steady square waves naturally lands low.
- DR 12
- 11.8 dB · moderately dynamic
- Left channel level The average strength of the left channel over the whole recording (“RMS”), counted in dB below the loudest level a digital file can hold (dBFS). More negative means quieter. Compare it with the right channel.
- −18.2 dBFS
- average (RMS) over the whole file
- Right channel level The average strength of the right channel over the whole recording (“RMS”), counted in dB below the loudest level a digital file can hold (dBFS). More negative means quieter. Compare it with the left channel.
- −19.5 dBFS
- average (RMS) over the whole file
- Channel balance The left level minus the right level. Close to 0 dB means both sides are equally loud. More than about 1 dB and the whole mix leans towards one ear.
- 1.31 dB
- left is 1.3 dB louder
- Stereo width How strong the part that DIFFERS between left and right is, compared with the part they share. A very low number (-40 dB or less) means both sides carry the same sound - mono in practice. A higher number means a wider stereo picture; a very high one can sound thin on a single speaker.
- −11.0 dB
- ordinary stereo
- Cover art in the file Whether a picture is stored inside the mp3 itself. A player shows it as the album art when the file is played somewhere else - in a car, on a phone, offline.
- Yes
ID3 tags Text stored inside the mp3 file itself - title, artist, album and so on. It is what a music player, a phone or a car stereo shows while it plays the file, and it travels with the file wherever it is copied.
Measured from the mp3 file on our server by the station’s own analyser. Point at a label, or select its question mark, for what the number means.
