Written and recorded in Manama, Kingdom of Bahrain, during the height of the Second Iraq War, this album chronicles the feelings, frustrations, hopes and fears of a man living in the 21st Century sociopolitical spectrum. It is a painting of a heart ravaged by war, misrepresented by media powers and displaced by extreme political will. The album reflects on post-9/11 American thought process: fears of terrorism, a public concerned with discount prices at WalMart, Veterans Day parades, flag waving, obsession with television, celebrity and other modern American distractions. The original album was written and recorded with my acoustic guitar on a Tascam 4-Track recorder in Bahrain in 2004 and then subsequently rerecorded with a full band in Stuttgart, Germany. The later is what has been officially released and only four copies of the original acoustic album were produced. I hope to release the original format of the album at some point in the future.
