RE-RELEASE (With EXTRA NEW 2022 TRACK!)

This unique program/ compilation / mix was made right after, and was inspired by, Barack Obama taking the U.S. presidency in 2008 and seeks to capture the spirit and cultural conversation and FEELING (at least as WE felt it) of that time in all of it's hopeful and cynical aspects in a composed musical narrative.

A Special Thanks and much kudos to GreenLantern and the excellent 'Yes We Can!' remix which for us indelibly defined the musical spirit of that time. It will always be stuck in our heads and associated with that place in history.

Note: The graphic used for this updated version is itself updated, and is a higher-res version of the previously-used graphic.

This program is meant to be listened to, and taken, as a whole work, artistic in nature. Subsequently, more derivative tracks are not available separately.

All derived and referenced material used herein is meticulously accredited and/or fragmented / transformed / re-contextualized, and/or remixed from its original form, and is used fairly as a cultural reference in the subtext, and artistic narrative, of this unique 'syntopical' arrangement.

Any proceeds from this work are considered donations to express appreciation for, and to help support, the expenses of the project this program is a part of, and the creative work behind it, and is not a prerequisite fee in exchange for content.

Thank you for listening, and thank you for your support.
