"A Passion", part II

Well, everyone is on my butt about the fact that I am giving serious consideration to putting "A Passion Unrelenting" on the "Nemicorn" CD.

The argument seems to be triptych.

First, "A Passion Unrelenting" is good, both as a poem and as a musical/poetry fusion (anyone come up with a better term for it, something less awkward, I'll send you a free book). Okay, I will grant you that it is very good.

The second point is that changing the lineup on a CD just days before it is released actually makes a point about the power of the modern technologies within the digital renaissance to be agile to a level unprecedented (the main point of the "1st" renaissance was that movable type meant you could put out a new book in weeks or months instead of years). Agility and malleability are major points of a legitimate renaissance.

Finally, it makes for high drama. We can change the lineup of the CD so quickly that there is no chance for anyone to be certain what the final product will contain. Hmmm...that can be both good and bad.

In any case...I may allow a leak of the piece later today to let people sample it, and see what they think. Perhaps...
