I actually thought that the "i am pumpkin man" said "I am humping men" ... until I figured it out from the track name later on

Still, you've gotta laugh.

I think you might have had one too many runnins with lawyers from artists who've "borrowed" from C64 tunes.

I'll make a song about it then.

Yeah, I was a bit worried about that. It's hard to write lyrics about computer games without getting too cheesy. So I ended up writing a few that were non-game related as well.

Writing songs about databases with out getting cheesy is easier.

That particular piece of text was subject to a few changes until I decided to keep it since I figured the context should make it clearer.

Though it adds a little mystique to the track. Is the girl beautiful, or fugly? Is it just her body that's nice? The "body like a playmate, face like a trainwreck" (which actually fits to sing along to the song as well) type of girl? Who knows!

Yeah, maybe she was ugly but she entranced you with her flute... who knows...

Very nice CD this is, I like the fact that its something new in terms of the remixing and that 80's feel

Makke's the maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan

Someone on the Machinae Supremacy forums said it was as good as "Pocket Calculator"

MAKKE, THE CD ROCKS!

Listened to it this morning, awesome stuff. Love the lyrics as well, brilliantly put together.

Cheers for the good words, lads.

Hope it'll give you many hours of listening joy.

Hahahaha! I guess they're on the same level of cheesyness...though I actually think my lyrics are slightly wittier.

Got the cd today, and... ... ... Sorry, I'm looking for words to describe how FUCKIN AMAZING IT IS!

As I've heard on Slay-radio: UN-FUCKIN-BELIEVABLE!

Makke, you git, you just now gave me tinnitus

Makke · Post by **Makke** » 19/09/2005 - 11:26

Good thing you like the album, Max!

A well-informed source tells me Makke will soon be known to thousands of unsuspecting videogamers as "The Popstar"...
