lyrics
is my living in vain?
is my singing in vain?
is my dancing in vain?
is my striving in vain?
oh no, no, of course not
it's not in vain
look just up the road: eternal gain
oh no, no of course not
it's not in vain
everlasting life
he promised me eternal gain
am i wasting my time?
can the clock be rewind?
have i let my light shine?
have i made ninety-nine?
is my living in vain?
chorus
is my living in vain?
is my labour in vain?
is my singing in vain?
is my thinking in vain?
is my playing the guitar in vain?
is my semen in vain?
is my writing in vain?
is my playing the guitar in vain?
is my semen in vain?
is my fasting in vain?
is my living in vain?
now i think ahead to the moment i am free to put down my heavy weight and take up life in thee
now i'm asking you, say, is my living in, in vain?

This is a most exciting surprise bag of unusual songs, each of them thoroughly different from the other ones. But they have one thing in common: They are ingenious. It's not easy to find a drawer where to put this music in. I'm reluctant to use the term "experimental", because this can mean anything, and nothing as well. Out of the established genres, "alternative rock" probably fits best, but this music is so alternative that it blows up the confines of the genre. In my collection, I'm tagging music like this as "avantgarde", to express that it's somehow ahead of the usual listening experiences. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)

This was not what I expected! I thought this was a pop group (first time hearing this band) but I had to eat my hat because my assumption was so wrong. If you are a fan if complex piano layers, check this out! Also, the bassist and drummer are insane in here. I choked hearing one of the riffs it was that good! nvan92

This is Steven Foster's remarkable first solo effort - wild and rough-edged, but showing pretty clearly where he's heading to with his "Omhouse" project. It demonstrates once again that a perfect and crisp sound is not that important to make a song a great one. It's the quality of the idea and the spirit of its performance that really count. So what I actually want to say is: Yeah, I adore this album! By the way: Is this a "Cinema Show" sample that glimpses through "You Are Alone"?! Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
