Native Window (album)
Native Window is the self-titled debut album of American progressive rock band Native Window. It was released on June 23, 2009. The tracks on the album are all original material composed by the members of the band. The album came about soon after the band formed; it was because Steve Walsh, the lead singer for Kansas, would not write any new material. Phil Ehart, Rich Williams, Billy Greer and David Ragsdale got together to write new songs, and released them under the Native Window name. The song "An Ocean Away" was originally released by Billy Greer's band Seventh Key on their 2004 album The Raging Fire.

gollark: Graphs of things like e^x, I assume.
gollark: See, you have to have the perfect balance of hating humans enough that it wants to spend its entire existence beating them at a mostly meaningless game, and being incompetent and underpowered enough that it won't become sentient and wipe out humanity.
gollark: I doubt it. Anyway, I'm busy working on the AI code.
gollark: If I did that, I would have to write a lot of annoying code to map all the positions onto isometric things, and code to draw the isometric thing in the first place.
gollark: So it just uses the existing grid output code.
