Generally speaking, The GDM write, record, and promptly forget their songs- meaning they write a lot and forget even more. Some of these tunes have even been deemed as "passable" by non-solicited third party individuals.
The Untitled record (aka 'Stories from the Solar System') was recorded from 1999 into 2001, and was the first "project" The GDM concentrated long enough on to complete. Recorded in a family room, by amateurs, with zero budget, the record still managed to garner praise from people not in the band. Maybe you will like it as well?

| This was a spontaneous, instrumental jam we did at S2's top secret jam room. I guess someone is supposed to either come down from heaven or up from heck riding a pale horse. I don't know, that's just what i heard. |

| This is the super-deluxe karaoke mix version of this tender ballad about warped love and eternal pain, or something like that. The version that comes complete with vocals has yet to satisfy our strict quality control team, and has thus been temporarily placed in solitary confinement. For now, that means you can groove to the instrumental version of this smash hit. |

| We dug up an old copy of our cassette release, "1984," discovering a heavier mix of this improvised song. We put our team of scientist monkeys to work, instructing them to capture this version from the tape and "do something special to it, so someone will waste their time downloading a song they've already heard before." |

| This is our theme song. It was captured live in one take, at our second-ever jam session, while everyone was laughing and generally screwing up a lot. It would probably be better if we didn't suck. |

| This is basically a variation on a simple blues scale, with some heavy tendencies. It is an instrumental captured in two takes.
We'd like to re-record this song and make it cooler, but K1 can't remember how to play his noise-solo that he ripped off of Man...or Astro-Man? so that is pretty much that. |

| A post-punk slab of rock and roll from 1998 that is one part "hard to listen to" and one part "unlistenable!" Now that we kind of know how to play our instruments, maybe we'll get around to re-recording this memorable classic. For now, we'll say it is experimental, because that sounds artsy. |

| This is a shortened version of our European hit, Dusty Trails. Extra drums were added and some lo-fi editing was done to make the song a wee-bit more interesting. We wish we would have mixed the guitar louder. |

| This song is, of course, about the end of the world. It directly references a collage J made that you will never see. In the collage, little birdies with nuclear warheads for heads (instead of bird heads), are raining down on an image of the Vatican featuring tons of people bowing before a giant Zenith radio. Art imitates life. |

| The full title is "Two Circles Attacking a Square, While Triangle Caresses Rhombus With Spirals." This is a musique concrete piece, designed around accumulating layers of sound. This is Mk II of this particular sound project. This version is supposed to be an improvement over the one available here in the past. |

| This was the second "song" K1 ever devised. It was produced for an electronic music composition class while he was a student in the late 1990s. It was pulled straight from an old cassette tape, so watch out! Hi-Fi doesn't get much lower than this! |
