Ultraklystron - Romance Language All tracks written, performed, mixed, recorded and produced by Karl Olson, except for "shoujo n' shonen," which was written and performed by Karl Olson, Danielle Prokop and David Cheong, and was recorded, mixed and produced by Karl Olson and David Cheong.

Romance Language tackles some different ground for nerdcore. The main focus of the disc is an 11 song arc about romance, love and various other things in that vein. Musically, everything from classic hiphop to crunk to grimecore to ambient/hiphop fusion is in play, likely much to dismay of perspective listeners. Meanwhile, the bonus tracks feature some remastered rarities from the RhymeTorrents compilations, some remixes (or perhaps rather premixes) of songs that'll be featured on Opensource Lyricist and some songs that ultimately didn't fit the flow of Opensource Lyricist or the arc nor of Romance Language. It clocks in 20 tracks officially, though there might be a few hidden tracks too ;). It's 8 bucks including S&H. Critical Praise for Romance Language: "Karl Olson weaves a complex web of sense images in his work [...] you won't be disappointed." - Z, Hipster Please!.

Gotta a devil on my shoulder / she's quite the temptress But the fact is I'm not sure / if I should attempt this Not in the starfleet handbook / this one manuever Besides it's quite a drive / up to vancouver Not to mention people / questioning incredulously My current status / my nerdcore credibility "Ultra-k ain't nerdcore / he made with out a chick!" Look, are you envious? / or just mentally sick? Besides I'm sure if you and I / traded spaces You would check her out / like she was Paige Davis Or certain members of / the Mythbusters Crew Who it seems most nerds / dream about so blue But you too would be / seriously curious Is just she just teasing / is this just spurious Well I suppose there's one way / for me to verify Just need to gas up my car / and get ready to ride ch. I don't think that it's taboo To be a nerd who gets through And who sets a new high score In this game known as amour (x2.) v2. It beats going to yaoi-con / in San Francisco Sure it's mostly girls / and it's better than discos When it comes to attracting / a girl like me Whose entranced by art / from across the seas About pretty people / from other galaxies But that seme/uke action / leaves me displeased Not that I'm not down with it / but I don't wish live it So that option's out / so I continue to pivot Around the possibility / in the land of the north Because we'd still be friends / but yet it seems so coarse To be a midnight cowboy / on a steel horse riding Without emotions / on road so winding Down a path with trip cords / and other snares Certainly wouldn't want / anything to tear Between us and yet / it's so hard to resist Didn't think she'd have me hooked / just off one kiss (ch.) v3. I know I said earlier / that morals win But her constant kindness / leaves me wonderin Could I make it more / no - I'm just a kid Besides the experience / might flip my lid The Chanel on the pillows / after she slept in my bed Was enough to make me crazy / made me lose my head Plus it's evident from manga / that I get addicted On things that I like / then I get conflicted It could get in the way / of college and family And I'm so not sure / if could balance thee Responsibilities / of the power unleashed A restlessness that only / destroys what peace I'd built inside of me / yeah my A.T. Field Is torn by part her smile / and her homecooked meals She's nice to a fault / asks me 'bout my grand dad Can't lose a friend like that / it would be too sad (ch.)(x2)
