Bad Seeds is taken from the album Ghosts of Perversion by Spag Ruckus

"I hope you will enjoy it as much as I had fun producing it. It’s the result of two years of exploring weird ideas and new ways to make music, thanks to modular synthesis. Most of it was written at night and made me feel totally out of usual time and space. It has made me travel from dnb to deep dubstep, from trap to electro, from classical music to movies scores. 
I escaped from the idea of perfection to embrace errors and my loss of control. I sometimes let it come the way it was, even if it was not totally reflecting my attended own tastes.

I feel that our time is surrounded by perversion, as much if I look at our societies as If I gaze into individualities. Therefore I try to explore my own perversion, my worst inner mean sides and to sublime it into art, may it be music, painting or poetry. « We have art in order not to die from the truth » once said Nietzsche. And in a way I turnt some parts of reality into ghosts to let them go away. These ghost take shape into the ethereal voices you will hear in Hypnos, Embracing Monsters or Le Duel. Art is my way to change the unacceptable sides of life into beauty or anything enjoyable." Spag

Bad Seeds

In the quiet of my study, papers scattered, thoughts take flight,
Years of work, so clear, so concise, a beacon in the night.
Through every trial, each presentation, polished every phrase and line,
Submitted with a heart full of hope, to judgement so blind.

The editor's cold embrace, swift to undercut my stride,
"Relevance lacking," so it claims, "too trivial, yet overwrought inside."
Referee number two, the root of all my trials, casting shadows, sowing doubt,
Misunderstood, dismissed, my meticulous toil left out in the cold, without.

My nemesis, yet my guide,
My downfall, yet light provided.
Harsh lessons sharply learned,
In shadows, doubts stirred.

Now behind the desk, roles reversed, a manuscript lies in my hold,
Adequate, yet lacking a spark, the narrative cold, unbold.
Words not quite right, elegance lost, a story struggling to unfold,
A dilemma grows within me, what fate will my verdict hold?

To wield my pen with grace, or cast a shadow too long,
Echoing the paths once walked, the rights and the wrongs.
Be the light in their darkness, or the storm they feared all along?
A heavy decision upon my soul, in this scholarly song.

My nemesis, yet my guide,
My downfall, yet light provided.
Harsh lessons sharply learned,
In shadows, doubts stirred.

Referee Number Two, your fate's in my grasp,
Which path to take? A choice to unclasp.
Will I be friend, guide you through?
Or turn enemy, shadows pursue?

Will kindness prevail, in deeds and word?
Or mirror the past, a cycle stirred?
Referee Number Two, today I decide.

"Referee Number Two" is not just a song about the academic peer review process; it's a profound exploration of the moral dilemmas we face when critiquing the work of our peers. This song narrates the internal conflict of an academic who has endured harsh judgments from an anonymous reviewer and now finds themselves in the position to review others. Will they seek retribution, or rise above and provide constructive feedback?

As you listen to "Referee Number Two," reflect on your own experiences with criticism and the choices you've faced when given the power to judge others. It's a reminder that every decision we make contributes to our character and professional legacy.
