about

Part 2 of The God Program: Our protagonist gets their executive time interrupted by a prompt to download some exciting new software...

lyrics

the angel arrived while i was watching streaming video
with digital download, registration free
”we promise you efficient use of RAM
anti-virus; the End of Spam”
The end-user license was one click to agree

installation replaced the operating system
a shiny desktop portal, clean and new
”you see the Earth afloat in Space
a planet in a mouse embrace”
nations, towns, exposed for my review

rotate! zooming in! anticipating future sin
placing every judgement call for free
chance and fate are second-rate
when Nature gets corrective surgery

infinite zoom is my New Year's resolution
24 hours, real-time TV
”channels yielding holy visions
assisting people in decisions”
lessons in a new theology

this Little Piggy? thinks he deserves an upgrade
the Big Bad Wolf's about to commit a crime
”with choices you decide they take
fix their major life mistakes”
Doom™, a HALO™, or Once Upon A Time

media pirates, let it rip, with a burnt-out bargain chip
peer-to-peer nets linking to their souls
Evercrack; Sim City™ hacks;
their Second Life™ is under my control

with a flick of the mouse, i turn my attention to Jupiter
the sentient gas-bags had never seen the light
”under coloured bands of cloud
a curious glow, beneath the shroud”
alien minds approaching in the night

Jovian thoughts and reasoning? incomprehensible!
in a moment of gravity, i get to call the shots.
”a passing comet's halo light
makes an impact, fusion-bright”
illumination really hits the spot

The Prodigal Sounds image

The Prodigal Sounds Novato, California

Melodic progressive rock songs and instrumentals, 70's influence but a product of the dystopian Now.

"Very smooth, hi-tech sounding delivery..." - Chris Jemmett, alt.music.yes

"..on a rare occasion you just have to conclude that the prog world should be feasting upon the birth of a new and promising act. That's exactly the case with this album."
- Theo Verstrael, DPRP.net ... more
