Congratulations,
just by reading this your life may well change forever. You
have now taken the first step out of The Grid and into The Sphere.
Consider this an introduction into the vast teachings of our
God Kontpab. This is also where you can meet the Chicago Kontpab
Sect "Mahjongg," so please join us, as we are all
Kontpab. But first, a little history.
Originally formed in the great bounteous Midwest region of the
United States "Mahjongg" began as a simple experiment
between The Grid and The Sphere. To attract the brood orientation
of the young mind, Mahjongg knew the only way to spread Kontpab's
message was by forming a musiK band. This ever-expanding Sect
uses "irratainment" to teach the warnings and Revelations
of the almighty god Kontpab. Kontpab basically warns the human
race of the mass "funneling" of the populace minds
into The Grid.
Once trapped in The Grid themselves, Kontpab instructed Mahjongg
to make a pilgrimage to Chicago, IL., where they would form
their first "warning orbs," at local art spaces and
bars, and in turn be shown the light that is The Sphere. It
was during this time that the Machinegong EP was recorded,
and their first attempt to leave Kontpab's message sublimated
in the patricians of the clubs was a success. Kontpab showed
Mahjongg that The Grid's seemingly well-defined rules and laws
could in fact be used against The Grid itself.
Many not briefed on the vast Kontpab religion will never fully
understand Mahjongg during their "Warning Orbs," so
they cut another album to set into stone what Kontpab had clearly
shown them: Raydoncong 2005 . Again using The Grid's
vast amalgam of mathematical tools against itself, The Sect
were able to demonstrate to the brood, for instance with prime
numbered polyrhythms, that not only was the path to The Sphere
full of spectacle and self awakening, but pharmaceuticals, beer,
and dancing as well. It was here that Mahjongg became not only
teacher, but student, and this is where The Chicago Sects association
with the Water Babies began.
Born into the great Chicago winter of '06 in the septic rivers
of the Magikal Forest, the Water Babies used Kontpabs undivided
and all seeing power to unlock The Sphere's greatest secret:
improvisation. With these new teachings from the almighty Kontpab,
Mahjongg was able to create a new church and recording studio
for the Chicago Sect. Soon the tapestries of aural chaos were
tempered and perfected. Software was upgraded and drums tuned.
With nervous but relevant hair follicles and motley threads,
Mahjongg hit the scene. Many eons of "Warning Orbs"
have since commenced, but the human race still chooses to "funnel"
into The Grid. It is because of this that Mahjongg is left with
no choice but to invoke the name of our great God almighty itself.
And it is with this name we proudly present to you our new album,
Kontpab. For we are all Kontpab. |
