This is the end.

"Running" "Is it running or is it about to be running?" "Running"

Erroneously titled "Giggy Smile" on certain pressings and referred to as "Psalter" on the compilation 71 Minutes. For some reason Youtube automatically tagged it as the artist "ENDITFAUST", some untalented emo zoomer, instead of Faust, the excellent early '70s Kraut rock band.

Youtube link has the cover of the 2007 Impulse compilation also including recordings from '65, the original one released 1993 is way cooler (even though Coltrane plays a soprano and not a tenor on my favorite things )

For the promise of water, I'll walk on my knees!

Presence Of Mind (stylized as Presence | Of | Mind and P.O.M back in the day) is a small but experienced Swedish synth-pop band with some history in the scene. They've been doing concerts since the early 2000 but started delivering for real around 2014 with a re-revival this year with the single Human. While I do like their older stuff (especially Interpersonal), this one is probably their best so far. If you're into modern synth-pop with a touch of ye olde days you may enjoy this. Lyrics are in English, never in Swedish despite the origins of the band.

For those who remember zircons groundbreaking album Identity Sequence from 2012 (YouTube link and Bandcamp link) this new song collaborating with recognizable Jillian Aversa may raise some hope for a 2.0 release. Identity Sequence was heavily influenced by the original Ghost in the Shell movie(s) and is supposed to be listened to in one sitting if possible. Or as zircon describes it:

"The style of Identity Sequence could best be described as organic electronic dance music. It is my own interpretation of the interaction between man, machine, and environment - how our emotions and actions change and shift through technological advancement, and how they stay the same. More specifically, it's progressive trance, dubstep, drum and bass, breakbeat, atmospheric downtempo, and many other highly rhythmic electronic subgenres rolled into a cohesive body of songs that is meant to be listened to from beginning to end in a single session."

With transcribed sheet music even.
