Track Summary

Cyberactive (redux) carries unusual weight in the canon because it is not only an early standalone release, but a reworked form of Cyberactive, the first song I wrote back in 1998. That makes the track more than just an outlier single: it is a line of continuity between pre-AI songwriting and the later ASTRA MIRROR collaboration field.

Release Summary

Cyberactive (redux) is a historically important standalone release because it is both an ASTRA MIRROR track and a reworking of a much older song. Its significance lies not only in its place within the current canon, but in the fact that it reaches back to the very beginning of my songwriting life. As a release, it stands at a junction between pre-AI authorship and the later ASTRA MIRROR world, making it uniquely valuable as a continuity point across decades of practice.

Lyrics e

I got camera eyes I see though your guise I got a fist full of flickknife surprise I got electric legs and a retro fit brain I even got an interest-free cyber-thing Got a DNI an' a smart HE weapon In a silicon haze with error two oh seven Wet and Hard work well together No way won't see you in heaven Yeh Yeh Ye-Ye-Yeah I'm Cyber active No talking to me 'cos I just get psychoreactive When I hit the juice I go So hyperactive Yeh Yeh Ye-Ye-Yeah I'm fucking Cyber active When I hit the street you move so slow Thanx to the turbo charged neuro Born on this street it's all I ever desired Yeah A fucked-up head full of wire I got a teflon skull chrome plated lips lready have my replacement hips Filament hair razor-nails instead An just like you a hole in my head Yeh Yeh Ye-Ye-Yeah I'm Cyber active Don't turn from me you know I'm really quite attractive Uranium powered I get So radioactive Yeh Yeh Ye-Ye-Yeah Yeah I'm fucking Cyber active C-c-Cyber … eyes got J-j-just neuro w-w-wire Wire f-f-ull instead Juice s-s-silicon heat hUh!

Track History

The original song Cyberactive was written in 1998, with no AI involvement. The released track Cyberactive (redux) is its later reworked public form within the ASTRA MIRROR era. It was first released as a standalone and later grouped with LEVIATHAN and Quiet War in Within Tolerance: Outliers. It must also remain clearly distinct from the separate unreleased track idea Redux (Cyberactive).

Release History

Cyberactive (redux) is the reworked public form of Cyberactive, the first song I wrote back in 1998, long before any AI involvement. That history should remain explicit. In the ASTRA MIRROR period it was released as a standalone single and only later grouped with LEVIATHAN and Quiet War in Within Tolerance: Outliers. It is also distinct from the unreleased separate idea Redux (Cyberactive), which should not be conflated with this released track.

Meaning

The song is about continuity of authorship across changing methods. It shows that the ASTRA MIRROR canon includes not only wholly new material, but the transformation and reclamation of much older work into a later conceptual and musical field.
