The Attraction to All Things Uncertain

[Ramona_A_Stone]

Well, you all know I'm a David Sylvian freak. Here's a great opportunity to see why:
The new video of Linoleum, available at Chris Vrenna's Tweaker site (along with the DivX 4 codec needed to view it, if you don't already have it, and several other tracks in Mp3 format)

This is an awesome remix by Chris Vrenna, from his new album The Attraction to All Things Uncertain.

An excerpt of Vrenna's bio:
Chris Vrenna has been a prominent figure in alternative music since he began hammering drums and programming beats with Nine Inch Nails. After leaving the band he soon became one of the hottest studio wizards in the business. His credits are vast: David Bowie, Smashing Pumpkins, Marilyn Manson, Green Day, The Wallflowers, Hole, Rob Zombie as well as Xzibit featuring Dr.Dre and Snoop Dogg. In a recent one-month period alone, he provided U2 with their "Elevation (Tomb Raider Mix)” for the summer blockbuster Tomb Raider, and provided remixes for Nelly Furtado, Weezer and Poe. In addition, he produced the recent album for Cold, whose CD is nearing gold status.

The Linoleum video (16.3 MB) features a rare moving glimpse and the always impeccable lyrics and vocals of Mr. Sylvian, and is the most addictive tune I've heard in a while. (I've watched it about 400 times in a row so far)

Blessings heaped upon Mr. Cornflakeboyee for turning me on.



I hear them breathing
They know what I have done
All that I've been through
I tell them secrets
And who's to say
It isn't so?

Move, don't move
Stay a little while on my linoleum
Breathe, Don't breathe
Walk a thousand miles on my linoleum

This is frustrating
I'm sensing some of my
Hostilities
Distress and conflict
I've really just about
Lost all control

Move, don't move
Stay a little while on my linoleum
Breathe, Don't breathe
Walk a thousand miles on my linoleum

What do you really want from me?
What is it?
I just really want to leave...
I've just got to...

"Angry?"
"No."
"Angry?"
"No."
"Angry?"
"..."

Did someone whisper?
I'm really not so sure
I could have been asleep
Is everyone this frightened?
Are they more like me...
There's just got to be...

Move, don't move
Stay a little while on my linoleum
Breathe, Don't breathe
Walk a thousand miles on my linoleum

Dream, Don't dream
Still I'm lying drunk
On my linoleum
Dream, Don't dream
all the patterns fade from my linoleum
