"In Nine Decades A Mad Queen Shall Be Born." / A brief composition we produced for a 2011 video project. The video is long out of date, but I figured I'd post the audio here for posterity. I kinda still like it myself. Nice to find little nuggets like these lying around. Fun Fact: the phrase "Bullet Time Railways" is an anagram of the name "William Butler Yeats", which belonged to the celebrated Irish poet.

"Another drug turns harmless people into mindless beasts."

Progress is lovely, isn't it? Technology will make secret police of all of us.
