We have posted this as a soundcloud link before I think, but I wasn't happy with the drums clipping in the original, so I ran them through Izotope RX and remixed it. Much happier now...

Verse 1:
I am your Friend. Like me.
I am your Friend. Like me.
I am your Friend. Like me.
I am your Friend. Like me.

Click on my link. Quickly
Click on my link. Quickly
Click on my link. Quickly
I'm not who I seem. Slickly

Enter this contest - before its too late
Make sure you check - your status update
I'm in the background - 24/7
Collecting your data - its 2.0 heaven

Like me

Verse 2:
Make me your friend. Like me.
Make me your friend. Like me.
Split personality. Slightly.
I am unhinged. Slightly.

With my group of - anonymous pervs
We are known to do - more than observe
What we do nightly - is bound to unnerve
You only get what - you deserve

Touch me

Verse 3:
What's on your mind. Poke me.
What's on your mind. Poke me.
What's on your mind. Poke me.
I'm in your mind. Poke me.

Put all your pictures - on your wall
suggestive poses and - drunken brawls
Your timeline is stored - for evermore
Hand over the key - to your door

Poke me

Quite apt considering what's been happening in the AI world with Facebook and Google. Lyrics sounded suitably creepy. The age of Skynet is upon us

Good to revisit this golden Allomerus oldie. The new mix sounds great. The video does a good job conveying the dark menace of the interwebs.

Good to have those lyrics - needs more of these topics..

Thank you...

This is one of my favourites from our first album, which on listening to it these days, is a bit patchy... But I was keen to give this track a bit more love.

Thanks Frantz. I know what you mean. Originally, I wrote a track about our love of TV and its influence over us. Which progressed to the internet on this track. A friend told me we should do the next stage of manipulation, whatever that will be...

Might be a bit scary!

well that was a bit sinister

makes me feel dirty just using my keyboard to type this

has me in mind of some friends bands, both dayglo yellocet or poisoned electrick head. both where proggy with a touch of darkness

(which from my pov is some great company to be in!

)

Nice track. The machines part was surprising to say the least

Will put the video on my wall

Big prog fan but you know what? There are definite Eric Clapton and Cream influences in this track.

Really, really, really liked this.

The topic speaks for itself. Cool track. Can´t add anything to it. In terms of sound, the overcompressed basedrum is not my thing, but if you like it like that, ok. Nicely done.

I'm really digging this bathed in an eerie green glow, due to the inability of my lighting to connect to the server after a failed firmware upgrade.

I went to the bathroom earlier and was disappointed to learn that my toilet-paper tracker has stopped sending me alerts.

Good to hear this one again, John. Those remixes are never done. Nice job with the sinister video.

Good work

Your vocals certainly suit this sort of off kilter tune. I guess I'm saying you sound like a perv, but in a positive sense. The techno section is well judged and doesn't feel shoehorned, though I like how it enters more than the way it exits. The explosive kick drum overpowers it all a bit too much for me. I would have preferred something a little more natural. The theme I can take or leave.

Overall it's a cool track that sounds like you, which is important and a cool thing in itself.

Thanks thomekk! It's great to read your enthusiasm. Makes me want to do more...
All the best to you from a dark corner of the interwebs.

Thanks Frantz!
This is one of my favourites from our first album, I thought it needed a polish. But not too, much as it lurks in the dark corners of the interwebs...
