"Detente" CD Cover
 |
|
Select the following titles from the "Detente"
EP for the complete MP3 of each song (about 4 meg)
MP3 Room
For One More [3:50 / 123 bpm]
|
 |
Room For One More is an anti-smoking song
containing samples from "60 Minutes" -- including a
quote from Patrick Reynolds. The title sample is the
classic line from the "Twilight Zone" episode titled
"Twenty-Two". ("My only memories of my
father, RJ Reynolds Jr, are of the man lying
down on his back, gasping for breath, counting
the time he had left to live.")
The song is based on
the sound of inhaling and exhaling.

MP3 Save Our State
[3:45 / 120 bpm]
Save Our State contains samples of
California Governor candidates Pete Wilson and Kathleen
Brown debating immigration and "Proposition 187." This song
appeared on Mind/Body volume 3. ("Illegal Immigration -
the number one industry in California!")
| MP3 Operate
Alone [4:45 / 116 bpm]
|
 |
|
 |
Operate
Alone has no meaning. Vocal samples range
from Bruce Willis and Jimmy Stewart (title sample
from the 1949 movie "Malaya") to the "Japanese Monks
of Eihei
Ji Temple." ("I'm beginning to think I
can...") |
MP3 Maquiladora
[4:06 / 105 bpm]
| |
 |
Maquiladoras are sweatshops
just south of the U.S. border. The companies carry
U.S. brand names, but the treatment of the workers
would be criminal if the premises were one mile
north. The samples are primarily from a "Dateline
NBC" segment profiling
Kathy Lee Gifford ("This is a very tough
world.") I made an effort to make the rhythm
sound like a sewing machine and factory noises. |

Pillage
(performed by Chainsaw) |
 |
Global
Pillage is composed and sung by Kim Berry, and
performed by the band Chainsaw in March 1995. It

Within Limits." |
