[rstrui.exe]
Broken Windows
Through which no lights stream
Shattered system
Battered machine.
The bubble's burst
A painful blister
Old Memory
A distant Vista.
A nervous system
Cannot be ignored
Neither can it be
Restored...
System Restore works best as a 'gapless' album.
Streaming via this site does not fully represent the true quality of the material or the gapless running order.

New LP 'Trip' (under my own name 'Chris Weeks') was officially released on Limited Edition CD & Digital Format(s) on Friday the 6th of November 2015 on Odd John Records
You can stream Trip in full either @ chrisweeksmusic.com or on my SoundCloud page, here: Trip
‘Trip’ is an expansive, multi-instrumental, psychedelic, dynamic-drone odyssey, which evolves & shape-shifts episodically. To fully appreciate 'Trip' and it's more nuanced moments, it is best listened to in a quiet, dark space, using a large pair of headphones.
Trip comes with a free bonus download of 'Chemiluminescence':
A live dynamic-drone improvisation.

Hey Newgrounds

Also included in the Box-Set: A high quality card logo print, a unique, limited edition signed & laminated hand-drawn original artwork by KINGBASTARD & a 4-page booklet. The Box-Set is finished with a heavyweight red vellum & printed red card sleeve; wrapped in red paper.

(There are actually 30 releases included in the Box-Set, but as two are 'Mixes' they do not feature on the compilation.)

I decided to compile an album of acoustic demo tracks & release them under my 'Myheadisaballoon' alias.
The album is called 'Exorcising My Inner Demos' & is a 'name your price' download, with no minimum (so free if you like.) You can stream the album in full & download it directly from my site: Myheadisaballoon
There is also a very Limited Edition CD version, which can be ordered from the link above.
I hope you take the time to check it out & also listen-in to my audio here on Newgrounds: Kingbastard@Newgrounds

Back, many moons ago (in approximately 2006), I released an album/collection of tracks called 'Balloonism' under the name Myheadisaballoon. To my surprise, an extended version of the album, which I considered lost, happened to still be uploaded to my Myheadisaballoon bandcamp page! As I now use the Myheadisaballoon alias for my more guitar 'song-based' material, I thought I would pop the album up here for free download under my Kingbastard moniker. Grab a copy of 'Balloonism' now from my Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/x788cq6tg8nlt9w/AACDO2Gk15YfGYWr8_cx62EXa?dl=0

What does Big Data know about you?
“One person's data is another person's noise.”
(K.C.Cole)
Speeding headlong
toward infinity...
Algorithmic complexity,
a variable velocity.
A digital sponge,
soaking up information.
A high volume,
of correlation.
Swallowed whole,
by the cloud, no doubt.
Too many bytes,
chewed up,
spat out!
Big head,
big business,
a big ideator...
Advanced manipulation
extracts value from
DATA.
