This is an amazing profound work. It's a 12 minute track at
the beginning of lily of the valley and his best I think.
Communicating on messageboards is a waste of time, huh?
Welp, bye.

time. you didn't/don't have a time restriction so that's
cool:)

I love your "only 1 click sound" track. I will get the
others.

Yes, indeef, it si a schemacit compilation. I havn't spent a
whole time listenwholeing to the whole
albumwhole, but that particular track is super duper,
to use a technical term. If you are not familiar with the
jargon of duperology, this means that it is farntastamagic.
Thank you so much for your condolence but thanks to the
heroic efforts of captain planet and the planeteers, kool
aid man will be behind bars where he belongs for a long,
long, long, long
platypus... I mean
time. I anticipate your click track with the highest
possible degree of wet salivation (which is 88%, the rest
being dry saliva obviously).

I am pleased that you tell me you love my only 1 clic track,
uh, clic. It is kind to lie sometimes, and in this case I
appreciate it. I feel fuzzy and warm now which combines with
my 88% wet salivating anticipation of korben's track in a
most remarkable and unexplainable way. Please do not feel
compelled to download those tracks as they are not
remarkable, due to the kool aid flood.

Hmm... I remembered there being more than two for some
reason. Oh well. I like the first one a lot. No lie.

I don't know what it is about it. Maybe because it's so
um... small sounding. I am terrible at explaining things.

Haven't heard Anthracite T Vari...

You don't realize it, but the only reason you like it is
because subconsciously you knew that it had your alias in
the title and were thus biased. It's understandable; if I
heard any old track titled "I like to go poow M wp" I would
probably like it. I don't know much about the science and
reason and measurement of tones and melodies and polyphony
and such, but I know that two simultaneous tones will sound
"good" together if they phase reasonable... like a note and
it's lower octave phase exactly 1 cycle relative to 2 cycles
(per unit time). So the "notes" in that track were really
only small fast clicks of simple small number ratios (such
as 1 click per 3 rows, 1 click per 4 rows, and 1 click per 5
rows- each a loop) So it seems maybe possible to have these
type of "notes" in some sort of polyphony/melody, since they
will phase really well with eachother. But I don't know what
I'm talking, or writing about rather.
You really should hear Anthracite T Vari, it's richard
devine's berst shmasterpiece so far.

Oh, I did have 3 of those tracks but there's a 10 track
limit and I took one down to put up that crappy "ambient"
one. I wouldn't put most of those on a cd myself or
anything, but if there should come a time when, say, you are
lost in the desert and seeing mirage, mirraje, marriage...
uh, hallucinations of my track (but have plenty of water,
jeez, I hate writing this is so dumb) because you NEED that
track SO bad then I can re-upload it or something (this is
where I stop writing stuff except for a period, oh and the
end of the parenthesis bracket thingy).

clicks


Ah, that's what I was doing with mine. Then I stopped making
the track for some reason.

Gnarly-sweet. Don't feel compeled to finish it if you don't
want to. But seriously, is finishing the damn thing
asking too much?? God damn!
*clears throat
erm, I mean, uh. h aha ha, you are sitting there READING
this stuff, oh man. I am wasting your time. What I was
trying to say was that I like corndogs better than hotdogs.
You understand, don't you? There there, now just calm down.
Here, you can sit on my favorite, most comfortable elephant.

I think I like them more than hotdogs too.

I knew you would oversit (as opposed to understand) or
vice-versa, and re-versed again. I will go play a game of
ninja turtles 3: turtles in time (on hard difficulty) in
your honor. I cannot beat that bastard slash yet (I think
that's his name, or her name, or it's name)

I beat slash but then rocksteady and bebop killed me. I will
escape the time warp and defeat the shredder ONE day...

This is another track on a compilation that deserves much
more publicity. If I had an album with tracks all like this
one, it'd be one of my few favorite albums. It's called
"plus and minus miss c bug" and it's on a compilation called
bliss.tech pitch cadet, by lexaunculpt. It's soooooooo good.

Do you like Uncle Fester's Quest?

I've been meaning to buy that because I have vague nostalgia
of it but hardly remember it. All I know is you eventually
upgrade to this kick ass gun that swirls across the screen
or something, and it's top view.

There's one that shoots grey pyramids out in rows of three.
I like that one. Don't pick up the red guns. Missles are
cool.

It seems in shooting games there's always some gun upgrade
you're always trying to avoid.. like in contra, you
don't want the lazer. in fact, it's usually some type of
lazer you're avoiding since some sort of spread shot is
usually better.

The red guns downgrade your weapon. Whenever you destroy an
enemy, a little icon will pop up in it's place and it will
either be money, keys, light bulbs, or a little oval hat has
the word "gun" or "whip" written in it. If the word is blue,
then it is an upgrade. If it's red, vice versa. You get the
whips later in the game -- they're more powerful.

I know what you mean though. It does seem like there's
always some weapon that is lame and you're trying to avoid
it. Like in 1943, I don't like that goddamn weapon that sort
of destroys the enemies bullets, but only shoots a few
inches in front of you.
