about

"Puppets (AYA mutation)" was recorded in 1998 and released in 1999 on the EYE CD album "EYE Politics Can Be Fun volume 1". It's an instrumental dark electronica re-interpretation of one of the electro-punk industrial-rock "Democracy?!?" tracks on the EYE album. As it lacks vocals and guitars this track was deemed to be an AYA mix or mutation. It has little resemblance to the track from which it spawned.

Style-wise, at the time, the phrase used for this heavy quirky offbeat electronic music was "intelligent dance music" (IDM) although that is a broad basket. This track is perhaps a precursor to post-industrial dark electronic genres like "witch house".

The voice sample states:
"Politicians are puppets... for cartelists and monopolists... corporate interests behind the scenes... who are getting these laws passed."

This track was recorded & produced in the Australian capital city of Canberra; an early example of Canberran electronic music. This copy was remastered and uploaded here in 2018.
