“Music does a lot of things for a lot of people. It’s transporting, for sure. It can take you right back, years back, to the very moment certain things happened in your life. It’s uplifting, it’s encouraging, it’s strengthening.” — Aretha Franklin

PERPETUAL EMOTION MACHINE

2007 single

The Flight Deck is the second Perpetual Emotion Machine release and the only single from the Omega album.

Doing ‘singles’ was a really interesting exercise for me. As a record collector, I have a crapload of singles in my collection. My favourites have always been the ones that have more than five tracks on s single disc, it makes you feel you’ve got your money’s worth. For PEM, making singles was a great reason to remix, something that I had been doing for years anyway, mashing different things together, either of my own music or someone else’s.

For Flight Deck, it was easy, since the song was a labour of love for me. I lived and breathed the track for almost two years solidly. So by the time I was ready start promoting, I had several versions already completed and had collaborators help me with others.

As a single product, this, along with some the other singles and albums, was available for sale on various platforms such as BandCamp, until I took them down. There are other versions of both these songs, clicking on a link will take you to all iterations.
