Manipulator

Sticking his hand deeper into the machines all around him, Ty is reaching ever further to the outer limits of inner space orbited throughout TWINS and SLEEPER. And now more than ever, the chunks of the world that came before are like asteroids formed in his image . . . picking up speed . . .

Still fighting the power with all the energy that a determined mind-patriot can conjure, Ty's a fighter who loves, a surfer, a spaceman, and yeah, a casualty - like you, he'll never be free. But unlike you, he knows it - and when he goes down and his head cracks in two, out pour the multi-colored manias that make up MANIPULATOR. Sour-sweet declarations featuring freaks and creeps alike: 'The Singer', 'The Faker', 'Mister Main', 'Susie Thumb', the 'Connection Man', and 'The Crawler', to name but a mutant fistful.

The clarion call / siren song of his guitar . . . clouds of guitar billowing, blood rushing to the head, the temperature going from blue to red . . . TY's on a mission, working to change chemistry through music with the steam-lined pop and helium-cooled vocals of MANIPULATOR. These seventeen songs take many forms, as if TY is finally releasing all the thoughts that have been holding him down, that made him pick up the ax to begin with. By the end of MANIPULATOR, you'll feel that he must have chased all the demons - but it's a big world, and MANIPULATOR has only begun to fight!
