perfect hymn for this consumerist & materialistic world....in the light of that, the end product, that is the song is fascinating but getting the soul in the lyrics is a joke :-) Good one though! cheers
@cyberspiel You're right, there is no Autotune in the song. The harmonies are generated electronically, though, via a VoiceTone Harmony-M and Vienna's keyboard. http://www.tc-helicon.com/products/voicetone-harmony-m/ It's a very cool effect but let's hope it doesn't become as ubiquitous as Autotune. It's good to have you back at TIMJ. You've been missed.
@Sylvestrian Gee, thanks for all the interesting info and also for your very kind words. It's so great to be back with such a wonderful group of Jammers!
think Apple has just bought Acxiom..a gorgeous piece of music-sound wise,sad the lyric has to portray the dark bits of life.will sure look up the meaning on Bandcamp. thx. :)

Can't say I expected this reading the intro. Great jam.

Great jam...we are not alone!!

Those harmonies are just incredible! ...you could be forgiven if you thought an autotune was used in parts of this.
Pandion
This is an incredible find.

@Gummi , @soorajsoman The hymn-like quality of the song stands in stark contrast to the insidious nature of the business.

@Pandion "The Sirens of Acxiom" nails it! Glad you liked the song.

Thought provoking. Beautiful. Thank you for this.

@lynn200 Sometimes the stark contrast between lovely music and dark subject matter emphasizes the message. Glad you liked the music.

@VickyMB1970 You're most welcome, Vicky. It's gratifying when a jam is appreciated on more than one level.
