Original version was released in 2000 and sold a few actual physical CDs. I did these tracks mainly for fun, although my peculiar group of musical interests come charging in as usual (thundering percussion, the electric shamisens on "Bullet Train" -- this is the original spot for that, weird effects on "Cyberspace", goofy stuff on "Oblate Dub.") "Sons Of The Desert wind" kept ending as a featured track in Internet radio sites, and "Frankie," with my various voices, almost ended up on a horror movie soundtrack. "Yield!" and "Oblate Dub" are bonus cuts; "Yield!" has been on my MySpace page for a dog's age.

Compiled as a past-present-future sampler for release through Homemade Music preparatory to releasing and rereleasing a number of albums, this was another one that got stalled somewhere along the way -- though considering that the setup was done in the Homemade system, the master was delivered, and the artwork was created, it perhaps shouldn't have gotten stuck. Abstract Motion was meant to be a $1 sampler release, and may still be, although the online distribution method seems to be more likely for the present and near future.

The titles in parentheses are the sources for the individual tracks. Of these Void Jumper is still in abeyance, as is the graphic novel it goes with (the music was a way to get myself going on the outline) while Abstract Oceans may or may not be complete; I am not yet certain. The Lord Of Light... comes from my cassette underground days, and was the fourth of the Egyptian-themed Inundation series composed for the Church of the Eternal Source annual festivals. Red Weapons, comprised of tracks recorded between 1992 and 1999, is essentially a guitar-oriented album; curiously enough, the title track for the album didn't get included until the second version of CD was created.
