Thank you to all who commented and suggested regarding the song. All suggestions were tested and some implemented. The song has been mastered and a simple video cobbled together. With regard to the vodeo content - particularly the very confronting WWI "shell Shock" victims stuff at the beginning - these refer to the intent of the Asimov's Zero or Zeroth Law of Robotics as supposedly devloped by R. Olivaw & R. Reventlov. Very Big Brother BUT with a different intent, (as is all autocracy to begin with). "The Zeroth Law of Robotics , the most important Law for Giskardian robots, was phrased multiple ways: 'A robot may not harm humanity, or, through inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.'

I watched this video first, but it was so surreal and I was so distracted by the screen that the music didn't really enter my mind. So I started listening to the music again on SoundCloud. That's when I finally understood the shape of the music. As usual, the work you create is quite unique and very cool. And Misha's touch added to this makes it even more unique. The lyrics are quite difficult to understand, even with Google Translate, but I thought they fit the song perfectly. I enjoyed your work so much again today. Sometimes it's good to listen to the works like this.
Gentlemen put a finished label on this one! I really liked everything about this one. The vocals, video, backing band, sound effects, and mix were spot on. It must have been very difficult to mix this one.

Thank you Shigeki, The lyrics are, for the most part, paraphrases of Asimov's character R. Daneel Olivaw. Yes, Misha makes this work - his melody, vocals & synths are fabulous.

Thanks Mario. The mix worked out to be reasonably easy once I admitted the vocals needed to be reasonably comprehensible and after Misha gave me a clue about the synths.

WOW. This song has really developed from really good to quite outstanding. You two guys are big favorites of mne. Each of you is so unique, that it's got to be scary good when you get together to create music. This song proves thtq point for sure. I always enjoy your creative videos, but i'm Shigeki here. The video is really so captivating, but I recommend listening on headphones with eyes closed. Love it, Misha & Ray. One nit: you know how the ending keeps going like a bunny pounding a drum? Well, I waited for a fade, but the battery ran out rather abruptly.
This is extraordinary. The sound is immense and the presentation is epic! I have no idea how you go about creating something as magnificent sounding as this. The end result, though, is brilliant.
Kudos to you both. Just like Professor Azimov's books, this is a truly legendary journey. --Noel

Thanks Marty. It started with moving a D shape up n down the fretboard. Easy thing to do and sometimes it throws up interesting things. The song became bogged down after a while and Misha's collaboration brought it back fresh & improved. Both he & I were inclined to robotocized vocals but we bowed to the ears & wisdom of others pulling that back somewhat.

Thanks Noel, The magnificence you refer to would be the cape Misha place around the shoulders of a skeleton song.

Wow! We already loved the song but with the addition of the video it really is stunning.
As the video progressed we both were trying to remember which of the old movies we had seen. It is way more than “cobbled together” and you have done a great job!
Fran’s mastering is ace.
Loved it!

PS: We’ve read all the sci-fi classics and a lot of the more modern takes but have been thinking about having another go at the classics.

Thank you Janice & Bud, You're very kind. Having written and finished this song I reread The Naked Sun. A quick read but well worth the effort. The only problem with rereading is reinterpreting. Asimov, while a futirist, was a "man of his time" in many ways. I still loved it.

I think I already mentioned how much I like this song. I enjoyed hearing it again.
You must spend countless hours compiling and sifting through video clips for your video. I saw a quick image of Keanu Reeves. Was that Johnny Mnemonic?

Thank you sir. A couple of hours of sifting and rabbit holes much it was pretty easy really - and fun. The Prelinger Archive is a great place. Yes, Keanu as Johnny seeing as it was about backups, robots and he was a quasi bot in that flick. Not a great flick but a great story. My wife's an huge KR fan though not of the movie - I'm the opposite.

Cool sound! I don't recall the original version of the song, so it's all new to me.
It's been far too long since I've read Asimov, and I think I only got about halfway through Caves of Steel. I wondered what Peter Cushing was in from those old clips, now I know!
There's so much to absorb with the video content it's almost overwhelming and easy to miss the absolutely fantastic musical production backing it all up! This is like an undiscovered psychedelic gem from the late 60's. The build up of sound in the first minute of the track was masterful (and time consuming I'm sure) work! Collaborating with Misha on this was a great choice! I sat back and appreciated for a few moments here enjoying this fine work!

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
