Continuing my promise to give away ever stitch of music I've ever made...here in its entirety is my second full album of songs. It was compiled in 2002, but most of the songs go back to 1995 when I was just a sophmore in high school. At the time, I was living with a couple friends out on my dad's farm out amid the woods and fields of Nowhereville, under the Kentucky stars. There was a lot of acid involved in this time period, probably way more than my body should have been able to handle, but it was a time of youth and discovery I wouldn't trade for the world.
As a whole, this album was one of the most cleansing things I've ever done. Each song is like a photograph in a time capsule, capturing where I was at the moment I wrote it. They represent a time in my life that, like certain smells, always ties itself inextricably to scenes of the past, of a time when the universe was alive with mystery and anything seemed possible. I hope you enjoy it.

It's already a goatse. The thingers on the left and right are the hands, the division between red and blue is the crack, and the gaping void is, well, you know.

I listened to Through the Stages, at first it sounds like a Enya rip off, then I thought of that part in Spinal Tap where the midgets are dancing around the little stonehenge model.
I'm rolling a joint as I type this.

"The problem...is there was a stonehenge monument on stage in danger of being CRUSHED by a dwarf!"
"Invocation" is probably a little closer for that.

Oh, I forgot...
If you can't understand what I'm saying in the songs and you're one of these people who simply MUST know, the lyrics are in the ID3 tags. You can open in iTunes, right click song file, click "get info", then "lyrics". Or you can read them here: http://www.angelfire.com/indie/electrictooth/tomdlyrics.html
