Boiler

Liner Notes

We did this skirmish at the time (took about 2 hours and we went on to the next skirmish and didn't post till now.) We picked the nearest non-fiction text to hand which was a boiler manual.

Lyrics

installation location permit the provision satisfactory termination provide adequate space

regulation circulation pay particular attention current situation in respect of rules

unusual procdedures may be necessary the weight must be sufficiently robust combustible connection details are given in accordance with danger

danger danger danger

could be a nuisance should be avoided

above ground a suitable terminal guard prevent ignition distant from adjacent should not be in the fabric

for the purpose of boundary recommended position affecting performance ensure efficiency

unusual procdedures may be necessary the weight must be sufficiently robust combustible connection details are given in accordance with danger

danger danger danger

could be a nuisance should be avoided

isolation control

expansion maximum capacity pressure used alternatively

This is absolutely trippy in headphones. Love the swirly synth's on the left.

I'm off to fix the boiler! Got some cool sounds here and the 2 vocs very good set against each other!

Whooooaaaa this is trippy. I never thought I'd feel high while listening to a song about installing a boiler. Love the dreaminess of it and the panning in headphones is sweeeeeet. Awesome collab!

I like the effects on Wobbie's and Blake's vocals. The percussion hits, and the synth holds it all together. Nice.

What a cool concept for a song! I love the balance of voices to accentuate the message, which truly sounds ominous. I was trying to figure out what the scenario for this warning would be, but I just couldn’t come up with it! Very well done I love it.

Guess you just invented a new genre. manual chill, or something like that. Interesting sound work, I love all these echoes

@disarming 10h

Wow. I was thinking it was just gonna be a spoken word.And then was super surprised when the music kicked in. The background noises and music are so cool. And I really like the heavy reverb echoey, feel, and the vocals.

The dry and technical manuals make amazing lyrics!

Great echo on the opening voice. Really interesting lyric - like a small print recitation. The backing track to the dialogue is really nice. And the heavily treated voice shouting in the middle of the texture is really interesting how it creates tension in the track. Really nice job.
