The entire Greek/Roman mythos world of The Mechanisms is such an incredible thing. I read all of the fiction last night, and UDAD is my favorite Mech album, and I cannot stop thinking about this world. They way they adapt characters into the sci-fi setting as well as keep themes from the original myt—
THE MECHANISMS BAND!!!!
RELEASE A FICTION PIECE ON “JASON’S FLEECE JOB”
AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!!!!!!!!!
#‘hylas was YOUR fault’ from orpheus to heracles inspired this#because the previous blame on orpheus implies a connetion#that what ever happened to hylas can be seen as orpheus’ fauly mainly#hylas and heracles in the original myth WERE very close and DID go on the ‘fleece job’#hylas is abducted and drowned by nymphs who fell in love with him#heracles is incredibly devastated about this just like UDAD#now how does this connect to orpheus..#well. in UDAD. orpheus is a NYMPH!#YEAH!#so either orpheus did actually kill the dude but because of heracles not ‘sticking to the plan’#or it was like a ! love triangle deal thing!#i dont know!!!#but!!!#i need!!!#to know!!!!!#the mechanisms#bird yapping#ulysses dies at dawn#the mechanisms fiction
