    Munich Syndrome's debut album began with the Electro EP (Extended Play), but took a slight detour of creating several soundtrack pieces for some short films. The bulk of these soundtrack pieces make up Sensual Ambience. Atmospheric, cinematic, with jazz and acoustic overtones, including the full-length title track. Downtempo, chill, with ambient and new age overtones acoustic pianos, saxophone solos, and electronic washes and strings, make up a very romantic and relaxing album. Included is the Electro EP, which led the way towards Munich Syndrome's sophomore release, Electro Pop!

about

A darkly ironic track written during the first tech downturn, the song had undergone several revisions before this version was officially released. Industrial rhythms, heavily treated vocals, vocoders and a gonzo over-the-top guitar solo closes out the Electro EP.

lyrics

This is the Modern Age, this is the Modern Age...

I'm out of sync with what I think, and what I feel
Reality what do I see and is it really real?
Everyone is on talk TV, victims of victimless crime
Everybody trying to be someone, and only killing time

This is the Modern Age, this is the Modern Age...

Pollutants in the ozone, the world is under attack
There might even be some anthrax in your crack
Go for higher learning, maybe get a degree
Then go work for Walmart, it's like working for free

This is the Modern Age, this is the Modern Age...

Get your sex from the internet. Prescriptions too.
Visit a plastic surgeon. You'll feel brand new.
Shiny new promise, for a world you'll never know.
Chronic discontent is all you'll have to show.
I'm out of sync with what I think, and what I feel
Reality what do I see and is it really real?
Just a paranoid schizophrenic, sit at home and cry
Don't have the strength to live, don't have the guts to die...

This is the Modern Age, this is the Modern Age...
This is the Modern Age, this is the Modern Age...
