"We Three Kings" was the transitional song in the creation of this album, when I started really trying to break my original intention of making an album of “synth and variations”. The song is pretty cool for the first minute with those staccato reverbed voices, and then it breaks into the house section and becomes a dance song. This isn’t really a club song because there’s too much melody and not enough drum and bass repetitions. In the middle of this song is a little experiment with formant voice filter synths. It sounds to me like little robot elves trying to sing in harmony. Perhaps robot munchkins.
