Miscellanea
  • The first single, "Soluble Words," was released several months before the album, in late 1999. A second song, "Slingshot," was serviced to radio around the time of the album's release, but no single was ever released for purchase.
  • "Paper Thin Soul" contains drum sounds that were sampled from Electric Light Orchestra's huge 1979 hit "Don't Bring Me Down".
  • Album liner notes fielding the assertion of patrilineal kinship with syndicated columnist Dave Berry did not go to final press.
gollark: So far as I can tell this is essentially just generating a range of x/y values to use, converting each of those points to mandelbröt values using magic, then converting it into... rows, I think? of text.
gollark: They have very good docs.
gollark: Apiological!
gollark: ```sqliteWITH RECURSIVE xaxis(x) AS (VALUES(-2.0) UNION ALL SELECT x+0.05 FROM xaxis WHERE x<1.2), yaxis(y) AS (VALUES(-1.0) UNION ALL SELECT y+0.1 FROM yaxis WHERE y<1.0), m(iter, cx, cy, x, y) AS ( SELECT 0, x, y, 0.0, 0.0 FROM xaxis, yaxis UNION ALL SELECT iter+1, cx, cy, x*x-y*y + cx, 2.0*x*y + cy FROM m WHERE (x*x + y*y) < 4.0 AND iter<28 ), m2(iter, cx, cy) AS ( SELECT max(iter), cx, cy FROM m GROUP BY cx, cy ), a(t) AS ( SELECT group_concat( substr(' .+*#', 1+min(iter/7,4), 1), '') FROM m2 GROUP BY cy )SELECT '`' || '`' || '`' || group_concat(rtrim(t),x'0a') || '`' || '`' || '`' FROM a;```
gollark: No, it's from their docs.
