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. |

MP3 BONUS TRACK:
Global Pillage
(performed by Chainsaw) |
 |
Global Pillage is composed and sung by Kim
Berry, and performed by the band Chainsaw in March 1995. It is not included on
