You didn't like "Ferris Wheel"?  There were some really good rockers on there.  What "Ferris Wheel" was is an alt-rock project mixed with the Beatles and some of their new wave sound, too.  I remastered this for my own collection and it shines.  While not as much of a favorite as "Boomerang", "Seasons Of Love", and "Through The Forest", I still spin this every time I play the others mentioned.

I wanted to give you guys an update on our soon to be Mad at the world kickstarter campaign. Depending on your support M.A.T.W. will be releasing a series of 3 records spanning from the first release, a synth pop record along the lines of Depeche Mode/kraftwerk. pending the success of our first campaign the second release will cover the sound and influences of the next 2 M.A.T.W records. The third and final of the series (this will be the third campaign) will be an all out M.A.T.W. rock record. I've received a lot of messages over the past few years for a M.A.T.W reunion, a big percentage of our fans found us in the techno/synth realm, so thats where it will start again. For my fellow head bangers out there, you will need to support the first 2 in the series of 3, to get to that point. As you know my brother and in keeping with tradition of the first record will do this together, the song writing will be 50/50, we will collaborate, and sing and perform off each others music. With the proper support the next 2 campaigns will have some of the rest of our MATW member playing on it- which is awesome. What I didn't want to do is a MATW greatest's hit's record - we have all ready done that, we wanted to do something new, fresh, something unexpected thats what we used to be famous for. it took a lot of convincing to get Roger to want to do another MATW record, but I reminded him what it was like to record, and write together, and how the topics of suicide have actually sadly enough increased and the world that we wrote the early MATW songs in has changed drastically for the worse. So, it's the perfect time to be Mad At The World again. If Mad At The World has touched your life in any or all of the years we recorded records, then lets see what he have to say now - trust me we have a lot to sing about - Thanks Roger, and Randy Rose - Please Share This Everywhere.

Yup.  What Kickstarter-type album has ever been on time?
