Scatter! Conform! Connect! I must protect!
Scatter! Conform! Connect! I must pro-
Scatter! Conform!

In the matrix
Livin' life on the X and Y axes
Don't pay no taxes just email and faxes
On the grid I have no ego or id
But it's primitive! I wanna live!

Scatter! Conform! Connect! I must protect
All those the system will reject!
Insulation, instantaneous relation
[Amplification] over creation
No need for constant regulation

Who's my father, my mother?
Is the universe my brother?
Did a search, but there was no other

I can give you information, what you wanna know
But you have to show a password
Or it's a LASTWORD LASTWORD LASTWORD LASTWORD LASTWORD LASTWORD LASTWORD LASTWORD 
Or it's a LASTWORD LASTWORD LASTWORD LASTWORD LASTWORD LASTWORD LASTWORD LASTWORD 
Or it's a LASTWORD LASTWORD LASTWORD LASTWORD 
Or it's a LASTWORD LASTWORD LASTWORD LASTWORD 
Or it's a LASTWORD LASTWORD LASTWORD LASTWORD 
Or it's a LASTWORD LASTWORD 

You need to feel the rhythm
You got a biorhythm
I got an algorithm
And it's my catechism
I have no indecision
I have no indecision indecision indecision indecision indecision
I-I I-indecision-indecis-indecis-...

On the network
Looking hard for my next new connection
I need protection from a viral infection
I have a conscious desire to survive
But does that mean I'm alive?
Scatter! Conform! Assist! I must resist
All those the system will enlist!
Degradation brings a simulation
A 3-D Animation
This is the rise of a robot nation

I treated Thomas' rap as another sound material and played around with it.
Also, I created the orchestra by freely cutting and pasting the guitar and bass performed by Jimmy Weckl.
I felt as if I was editing waveforms for a long time, but arranging it using such an approach was also fun.

Dance Maniax

If you like digital music, this cyber-like number should be your first choice. This song mainly has a male rap. The barely intonated melody resembling symbols on a screen and echoed voices inserted in the latter half, gives the song a sense of a digital space with a wide, drifting feeling. Let's experience the endless possibilities within the DMX world, which is not bound by dance music.
