Comments
- Joe Clay: "All I wrote for this one was: "Drone. Heavy. Aeroplane over my house." And I'm afraid I can't really remember what it sounded like. I can tell you that the title translates as "Seeds of the Dead" in Russian." [1]
- This track was used in the "Tomorrow's Harvest Transmission" video which was accessible by inputting the 6 6-digit numbers on the cosecha-transmisiones.com website. [2]
- Playing up this recording's "cinematic" angle, and following the telepath's instructions to try listening "up and down," I reversed the order of the Tomorrow's Harvest track listing in my player: Try starting with Semena Mertvykh and ending with Gemini.
- Further evidence to support doing this is the version of Semena Mertvykh in the Cosecha Transmisiones teaser/herald's soundtrack, the remarkable overlay of the Reach For The Dead video forward & in reverse (see http://vimeo.com/66983696), as well as the performers' comments regarding the palindromic nature of Tomorrow's Harvest.
- Many reviews & comments note that in the as-released/unreversed track order, the second half of Tomorrow's Harvest is relatively upbeat. But listening to the tracks in this reversed order seems to break down that distinction.
- My own impression is of a sequence of optimistic vs. antagonistic/opposing vignettes, ending with Gemini as a kind of post-credits epilogue that hints at the protagonist's failure. (e.g., Last Rights Of Spring/"Twin gods of death at the end of the tunnel" at http://www.brainwashed.com/common/htdocs/discog/loci1.php?site=coil08, Samuel Beckett's Ghost Trio at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_Trio_(play), & Virgil's The Aeneid Book VII at http://www.poetryintranslation.com/PITBR/Latin/VirgilAeneidVII.htm#_Toc3086157)
- Then again, that opening Gemini fanfare just doesn't seem to fit with this point of view
