Extraordinary Rendition

"Extraordinary Rendition" is an album of Dada music, in protest of the illegal rendition by the United States of prisoners to 3rd-party nations that practice torture.

This album was recorded in Berkeley at the newly-relocated invisible caterpillar studios.

Available only as a digital download, a portion of the proceeds from this album are earmarked for donation to Amnesty International, an organization that does much to fight illegal rendition and works for prisoners of conscience worldwide.

7 of ER's tracks were made into music videos, including "Particulate Matter" which features DJ Promovious and The Polterguest as guest vocalists -- it was originally released under the band name Primitive Sperm. "Klingon Love Song" features DJ Promovious speaking actual Klingonese, and originally debuted in Second Life in a virtual danceclub.

The track "Machineflesh" contains a spoken word poem and was originally recorded during the earlier sessions that produced "Eyelid/Fetish" but was not included on that album due to lack of space on the original CD.

Machineflesh

Slow machine arisen

Spread across the land

Through mountain gaps

Into valleys

Across barren plains and frozen snows

Blood for oil

Cells for gears

Quick wired neurons

And strong force muscles

Spring into action

As separate parts of a world wide device

Driven to strive

And grow into might

A building machine

A thinking collection of replacement parts

All with purpose and desire to mesh

Processing metals and organics

With ghost clarity

Sputtering circuits at cross purpose to create

Inadvertent side products

And a warehouse of information to call upon

We the machineflesh

Seek the mechanic for answers

Seek the engineer for solutions

Seek the tinkerer we call God

For our final instructions

We call for a shift in mode

A new operator

A new product

A new factory to work upon

For this that we call the Earth

Is going on strike

Is being padlocked against us

By the air

And the water

And the ground that we

The machineflesh have soiled

In our industry
