Throwback Track! El Grande Finale!

The penultimate track on The Mourning After album.

Vocals were recorded in Matt and Brant’s apartment at Penn State Behrend.  And afterward, there was much partying.

Throwback Track! Who Will Win the Fight for Robot Rights?

The second-oldest tune on Science in the Hands of an Angry God, Robot Rights was the TMATW closer for a number of years.

Listen for the the totally sweet squeal-scream right before the totally sweet guitar solo!

Throwback Track! Curtain Call!

The climax of The Mourning After, Curtain Call has never been performed live.  It is the only tune that Matt has ever played on piano in his whole life.

Throwback Tracks! Acceptance of Fate + Adventure Quest!

Acceptance of Fate is a staple in every TMATW set list.

 

Adventure Quest was originally written and recorded as an instrumental, with the vocals later added as an after thought.  Which worked out well, because the vocals really tie the tune together!

Throwback Track! A Taste of Revenge!

The Mourning After is an album of recurring themes.  Listen for the lone wolf howl between the first and second vocal lines.  On the final track of the album, we’ll hear the whole pack.

      A Stroll In the Woods - Tommy Magik and The Wonderfulls
      A Taste of Revenge - Tommy Magik and The Wonderfulls

Throwback Track! Malachi Alladbay!

The “Malachi”, totally unrelated to the song, is a reference to the main character of The Sirens of Titan.  The “Alladbay” is human-latin for “ballad”.
