Ted Kirkpatrick's step into "techno" music (also, he's working on a new TQT album)

He made this song for Rick Wilcox magic show:
http://tourniquet.bandcamp.com/track/the-time-machine

Pretty cool track, but I'm sure many here will dislike it.



Also, Ted Kirkpatrick has confirmed that he is now writing music for a new Tourniquet album.
Here are the quotes:
"In between writing for the next Tourniquet album and other stuff, I wrote this tune at the request of my very good friend Rick Wilcox."

Someone then asked:
"writing for a new tourniquet album? or are you referring to antiseptic bloodbath?"


To which Ted replied:
"New Tourniquet album..!"


And then, someone asked:
"Will the new Tourniquet CD be heavy, or sound like this?"


Ted's reply:
"Um... this was just for a special request - so no - not anything like this - HEAVY!!!"

...and all God's people said, "Amen!"

Amen!

I really, really, REALLY, want this to happen.  I've just seen too many "we're writing new material" statements to take it too seriously anymore.

After hearing Antiseptic Bloodbath I think I'll wait until the album comes out before I work up any excitement. I want to hear samples before I purchase.

And to be fair, that's the way I feel about any band I've been burned on. Hearing a band put out a bad album pretty much kills my excitement for newer material. I just listened to In The Kingdom by Whitecross yesterday. In retrospect it's not too bad of an album (standing on it's own when you don't compare it to earlier WC albums), but it did stop me from purchasing anything newer from the band after it came out because it was such a disappointment.

Good to know that they are working on a new album. But I confess I am not a big fan of Antiseptic bloodbath.

Still, the scene is stopped and there aren't great news, so this is a good one.

Hope it's not like the one he recently slapped the TQT name on, Onward to Freedom.

Ditto.

Ted creating techno?!? Is he insane!?



(Well ok. Ted's been posting pictures on Facebook recently. This was just a lame attempt to reuse one of them.)

He just posted this today:

Working on some really heavy music - and no, it's not about animals - haha! Ted

Good.

Surprising. I figured he was probably working on a 3-disc rock opera about Cecil the Lion.

No, but I would bet there will be a least one song devoted to that particular incident.

I'm ok with that.  A song or two about animals on an album is ok, and I like to see Christians involved in social issues (even if I don't agree with Ted on everything).  But a whole album (or two counting TQT Ark) gets old.

What would you say if he doesn't write a song about the evils of Planed Parenthood as well though ?

Not to mention extremely preachy.

There's a plethora of Christian bands that don't condemn abortion infanticide in their music.  Why single out Tourniquet?

Mr. Kirkpatrick feels his calling is to write songs about animal abuse.  I do not believe it is up to the fans to tell him what his songs' themes should be.

For the record, I agree with you that the murder of the unborn is a much greater sin than the (nonself-defensive) killing of any animal.

Why single out Tourniquet? Because they're one of the most vociferous, animal-rights-defending bands out there who preach that all life is allegedly sacred...only to IMO disproportionately skew the defense of ANIMAL life  in the argument.
