The demos also include a number of tracks that didn't make it to the finished show or album, but which form a greater picture of Yeats' poetry and its adaptability to music. They have their own magical sound and in many cases were recorded as I was writing the music, so they are super fresh with the imprint of the original inspiration.

Brave New Worlds collects the best tales of totalitarian menace by some of today's most visionary writers, including Neil Gaiman, Paolo Bacigalupi, Orson Scott Card, Kim Stanley Robinson, and Ursula K. What happens when civilization invades and dictates every aspect of your life? From 1984 to The Handmaid's Tale, from Children of Men to Bioshock, the dystopian imagination has been a vital and gripping cautionary force. Welcome to the world of the dystopia, a world of government and society gone horribly, nightmarishly wrong. One wrong move, one slip-up, and you may find yourself disappeared - swallowed up by a monstrous bureaucracy, vanished into a shadowy labyrinth of interrogation chambers, show trials, and secret prisons from which no one ever escapes. Productivity has never been higher, the media blares, and the army is ever triumphant. You are alone among thousands, among great crowds of the brainwashed, the well-behaved, the loyal. Your spouse may be an informer, your children may be listening at your door, your best friend may be a member of the secret police.

Your every movement is being tracked, your every word recorded.
