Release Notes :
Dan Curtin is back and banging drums! His A-side, "Beat Fiend" is right on the
nose! A sole drummer in a transcendental musical village warmly welcomes the
listener followed by several hollow rolling drums as pied piper ravels and
whirls through the village.
Pressure and tension build up through various woodwinds and percussion as
instrument-armed villagers pour out into empty alleys in synchronized dance
motions spreading revolutionary joy throughout the ceremonial voyage. Listen
closely, a single faded hip-hop lyricist leads the people to a full blown dance
party. This track effectively plays the puppeteer to anyone listening;
manipulating and leaving no limbs to rest.
The B-side, "Amphibian" sets a more tragic and mellow tone. Rolling keyboards
and flaring rockets soar through this track creating a virtual battle ground of
disturbed vocals and twisted souls. The main drum beat creates a ceaseless flow
throughout a chaotic story introducing ghosts of past, present and future. Dan
decided to veer away from "the usual" with this creation; a track that seeps
only into the deepest darkest thoughts of the listener.
The digital bonus, "Marsupial" takes its listeners on a radical journey through
a 1980s action film. With surprises and suspense around every corner, this track
is primitive of its ability to contain numerous tools and gadgets without losing
its flow.
Not everyone likes chocolate and Dan knew exactly that when creating this
threedimensional release.
