Damn Skippy, Dinosaurchestra, and Spirit Phone are all finished. Unlike those, however, this commentary is unfinished for unknown reasons. Perhaps he got tomato loss while recording and forgot to finish it.
Intro
Hello! My name is Neil Cicierega
I am the human face behind the dark and mysterious entity known as Lemon Demon, as was my father before me and his father before him
Welcome to View-Monster, an album lovingly constructed between the years 2006, and 2008. AD
Kaleidoskull
Today, we begin with an instrumental track called Kaleidoskull
There's little to be said of it, due to its simple and instrumental nature, but it's a mеlody which has been encircling my fingers each timе I sat before a keyboard
When I finally managed to capture it and synthesize it, the tune struck me as a natural choice for the album's opening track, and so, here we are
I hope you put on some makeup for this commentary, because I can see you
The harpsichord you hear in this song is not an actual harpsichord, but a computerized representation
I could not decide upon a real harpsichord from my own impressive harpsichord collection, so, I chose a false harpsichord
I stand by my decision
When I hear this song I think of blueberries. And I hope that blueberries think of me
Let's talk about this album's structure
Although, this track included, there are 16 full length songs, you will find that there are 32 CD tracks in total
The even numbered tracks are what I like to call palette cleansers
On most albums, songs are broken up by one or two second intervals of silence
If not for these gaps, each subsequent song would be forced to live up to the expectations as defined by the previous song
But these gaps, serve to clear away such expectations, so the listener has a moment to prepare themselves to appreciate the next song on its own merits
However, my sound thirsty nature demands that I allow few, if any, moments of pure silence for my listeners
Instead, I recreate the gap effect with my palette cleansers - short interludes of simple, instrumental, ambient, filler material
Now, I know what you're thinking. Filler? Oh Neil, whatever became of killer? This is not what we wanted!
That's what you're thinking
Well, I'd like to point out your fallacious assumption that filler cannot also be killer
To the contrary, I've found that the two are not mutually exclusive
So let us meditate on that idea
Untitled [view-monster]
Here's the first of the even tracks, each of which is untitled, but bares a title nonetheless
This particular track, had it a name, would be named View-Monster, after it's father, this album
Interestingly, and perhaps a sign of creative stagnation, I also have an AOL Instant Messenger account named 'View-Monster'
But I only sign on when overcome by an extreme need for attention
I'm sure by now you can feel the powerful cleansing effects this track has on your sonic palette
Fading is the desire for track 1 to continue its strange instrumental journey
And now, you're almost ready for the new perspective that track 3 will offer
Though I must warn you; this new perspective, may be twistier than you anticipate
*exhaled laugh* Twistier indeed
Amnesia Was Her Name
This track has been christened "Amnesia Was Her Name." It bears no relation to the BB King song of the same title
The inspiration for this song came about as I pondered the feminine qualities of the word 'amnesia'
I decided that it would make a pretty girl's name, were it not for it's connotations of mind-crippling memory loss
From there, it was only natural for me to imagine how sticky a wicket it would be to develop feelings for such a woman, assuming that she is in some way a personification of actual amnesia
Oh Neil, what won't you personify
