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,
