This is an all-original work addressing the problem of "progress without a sustainable goal".
One explanation for the title is the fact that the backing musical track alternates between 6/8, 7/8, 8/8 and 9/8 time signature. There are also other explanations. Let's see if you can figure some of those out...
I call it the "ESP Version 2.0" for at least a couple of reasons. One is that I used my 1987 ESP "the Mirage Deluxe" for all of the guitar sounds involved in its production...and this version is a subtly different Edit and Mix. Let's see if you can come up with some other reasons...
As always, I'm responsible for all of the performance, recording and production tasks involved with this work.
Thanks for listening! - Thrust

If Six And Seven Eight Nine (ESP Version 2.0) - Thrust-O-Logue (inspired by Joe Frank)

Seria, a Black doctor based in Detroit, is beset by her ability to see (and hear) the souls of the restlessly deceased. She later learns that this experience is even more personal than she'd ever been told.

Given - A Ghost Poem

A thought-provoking original composition that is overlayed with spoken word also original by the composer. It explores the metaphor of a lunar eclipse and what this might mean as a point of reckoning in life. Ambient, eerie, poignant.

Lunar Eclipse

This is a Poetic Rap, delivering ideas and inspiration to those out there that don't think they can do it. Get your mind right, do what makes you, you. That's what we're meant to do, so do it.
