And yeah, it's a great song. It's sort of stylistically divergent from the rest of Phantom Power, but it still sounds great where it is. It'd serve SFA well to do an album in the style of "Slow Life." Guerrilla was close.

"Living matter is the most powerful geological force," Vernadsky claimed, "and it is growing with time." The more life, the greater its material force. Humans intensify life further. We harness fossil energy and breathe life into machines. Our entire manufactured infrastructure-as an extension of our own bodies-becomes part of a wider, global-scale life. As the carbon dioxide from our industry pours into the air and alters the global air mix, the realm of our artificial machines also becomes part of the planetary life. Jonathan Weiner writing in The Next One Hundred Years then can rightly say, "The Industrial Revolution was an astonishing geological event." If rocks are slow life, then our machines are quicker slow life.

Classic. I agree that it'd be in the Furries best interest to do an entire album like this.

A really great closing song, which is still unable to prevent "Phantom Power" from being the worst SFA album. Or, OK, not worst, just the least good.

Phantom Power one of my favorites. I had a burned CD of it for a while, without song titles, and thought they were singing "Drugs are so nice".

Oh yes please. (They already kinda did with RATW, to be fair!) Zeus also OTM, altho I'm not counting the latest release as an album, more a horrible mistake.

Classic. This was meant to be in their ghost techno record.
