Carl J 23 I don't love this track, it depresses me every time I listen to it & the image that accompanies it will forever be a reminder of one of the worst days of this millennium. If you need a track to sum up the sorry state of the world as it takes its last breaths before rushing headlong into the forthcoming apocalypse then this is it

about

recorded just prior to 24th february 2022.

a happy little ditty to whistle and tap along to -- just as happy and enjoyable as the times that are to come. corona was a gas by comparison.

sarcasm aside, "doombient" has always been about the sense of impending destruction and total annihilation -- after all, i was raised in the 1970s and 1980s when the cold war wasn't just an episode in history books but a very palpable threat to everyday's and everyone's life. we were just waiting for someone to push the red button, and hell yeah, sometimes we were really close to getting blown off the surface of the planet (think of november 1983).

the place where i'm now typing these liner notes used to be about a mile away from a potential target for a tactical nuclear strike... cosy, no?

since the early 1990s, i haven't felt as profoundly threatened as i have been feeling for the past two years -- i would have thought mankind has learned a lesson or two from history but, obviously, i was wrong.

this makes me very sad but, honestly, it came to no real surprise.

not to me anyway.
