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!.

Come on rhymetorrents, don't break my heart! ch. I don't want a crew If it gives me scenester blues Cause these bitter hues Leave me torn up and confused I don't want a crew If it gives me scenester blues So I build some pews To relate my point of view v.2 "We unite on the basis of what we have in common" We shouldn't be like fighting / like Kings of the Shaman Instead we feud and hate / like were nothing but pawns But this ain't an FPS / there is no chance respawn The fragments are created / and with continental drift There is soon a giant ocean / an insurmountable rift Because we're all sniping / yeah we're shooting the gift No denying all the evidence / no taking the fifth So it's time to reabilitate / it's time make friends Time to put humpty dumpty / back together again I'm not saying that this world has to be a nursery rhyme I'd just like to see a scene / that's a little more sublime Ain't easy to heal wounds / hard to kiss and make up But if this vitrol continues / this scene will break up So I am the fireman / I'm here to put out the flames But if I don't get help / then I'll have to proclaim
