Volumen Music Downloads

LISTEN

We were driving through Kansas on our back back from the first Volumen tour and I think I was listening to Death in June. I gotta sorta pissed that European bands have this rich tapestry to draw upon when they write songs cause practically everything you look at over there is haunted. Anyway, then I saw an abandoned church by the highway, in Kansas, and I wondered if it would be appealing to mighty Cthulhu?

LISTEN

I was watching TV at the old Volumen Compound waiting for the other Volumen to show up for practice (*cough* Bob *cough*). Anyway, there was a documentary on Orson Welles on A&E and it talked about how get managed to get an Italian Heiress topless in a movie that was then never released. I woke up the next day with an aching brain and the words "Orson Welles Was Right" written, in Sharpie, on my hand.

LISTEN

This is an instrumental based on the Ender series by Orson Scott Card. The Descolada is an organism/virus that is actually an attempt by an alien species to communicate. VolumenBkawck pretty much wrote this one. It's got his mark all over it.

Yup.. all 8 damn songs. For next to nothing.. sheesh.

LISTEN

This is part of Volumen-2's series on alcohol abuse. Other songs in the series? Pandemonium, Last Mile... erm... I think there is another one. This song is technically about wine tastings. The powerful beauty of wine tastings. It's also about having orange elbows and sleeping in a ditch.

I don't think I've said enough good things about VolumenBkawck. He freaking rules. His brain (especially his music brain) works in ways that I will never be able to fathom. It's like someone turned it to the psychedelic channel and then broke the knob off. Anyway, he's the man behind the reprise here.

I distinctly remember writing this song. I walked from the Volumen Dearborn compound to the Ole's down the street. There I bought the fanciest French malt liquor I could afford. I quickly drank it, moved a microphone into the closet and made up a song. I'll try and find the original to put on here soon. This version however, is much, much better. Although, I always sorta wished we didn't put the tremolo in the quiet part. Ah well.. I don't like to look back.

LISTEN

This is the re-worked version of the song that we wrote with Heather (from SKOC and The Squares). You can hear the original on The Volumen Records Sampler, I believe. When we recorded this version at Louder Studios I still remember how fried my throat was. We had been touring for a week or so and we were all sick... and tired. Ugh. Thank God for Seagram's Blue Beast!
