Band of the Semester: Spring 2006


Every semester I have a particular band I listen to constantly whenever I am grading or coding. This semester the award goes to Solitary Experiments, a heavy, dark electronic band with surprisingly beautiful melodies and lyrics in their repertoire. Some of their spoken English words have a strong German accent, but for the most part they are understandable.

If you are interested in hearing full samples of their songs and have hi-speed connection, check out their myspace page.

The song of the semester: Existence (Cause & Effect, March 2004)

Extinction of the world in which we exist
Infected by the curse of a devil’s kiss
Corruption is the highest depravity
But nothing changes our morality

Together we must face our destiny
If you want to find your own identity
Forever bound in the same recurring dream
Alone in the dark, the answer so far:
"Rescue Me."

Pollution of the ordinary mind
Inflicted through the evil of mankind
Relentless on advance to eternal fame
Possessed by effects of the kindled flames

Together we must face our destiny
If you want to find your identity
Forever bound in the same recurring dream
Alone in the dark, the answer so far:
"Rescue Me."
