Root5 Posted December 16, 2012 Author Share Posted December 16, 2012 Great work all, once again! The Carol of the Bells vocal arrangement is brilliant, and very well delivered. The made-up language had me cracking the whole time I was mastering it. Goiter's tracks just make sense as openers because they always ease the listener into the theme of the album. I believe that's the original Ukrainian lyrics to the song. I found this out after Goiter sent me the track, of course. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shchedryk_(song) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root5 Posted December 16, 2012 Author Share Posted December 16, 2012 I don't quite get what's going on in the art... I feel it's up to the viewer to interpret most likely. Is Santa drawing gifts from the WATMM rocket in the background? Is he delivering presents in Somalia? My artistic interpretation is that the starving African children are there to make Santa look even buffer by comparison. For the meaning, I really don't know if santa is bringing food to the children, or if he just happens to be surrounded by an aura of food and gifts because he's santa. But ultimately, I'm guessing there is no meaning. You're just supposed to think "Holy fuck, what the, I don't even, that's amazing." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Santa drawing gifts from the WATMM rocket in the background? Is he delivering presents in Somalia? I interpret it as alien Santa landing on Earth to show off his godlike physique to the starving children so they may know the true meaning of Christmas. The trail of food and garbage gives him his inexhaustible strength. Great work all, once again! The Carol of the Bells vocal arrangement is brilliant, and very well delivered.

Root5 Posted December 16, 2012 Author Share Posted December 16, 2012 I'm sceptical that anything could temper the glory that is picture, so I vote yes to an explanation (or artist's statement or whatever). Also, Jubal is a WATMMER called Djeroek for all those who are wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaarg Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 there's also an audio cassette. that could mean a lot of things, either the mechawatmm santa is bringing gifts that are hovering above ground in a suspensor field, or it's a hologram to look cool and fool the starving children, or that's indeed his goodie bag but you can't know if they're getting the right things, or it might just be the warp speed light particles he made by getting to the scene really fast and the children, being so hungry, are hallucinating the food inside it. I'm not sure what is the truth here, but I hope its real food, cause come on poor little african children! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
