Lyrics
The novel opens in the Central London Hatching and Conditioning Centre, where the Director of the Hatchery and one of his assistants, Henry Foster, are giving a tour to a group of boys. The boys learn about the Bokanovsky and Podsnap Processes that allow the Hatchery to produce thousands of nearly identical human embryos. During the gestation period the embryos travel in bottles along a conveyor belt through a factory like building, and are conditioned to belong to one of five castes: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, or Epsilon. The Alpha embryos are destined to become the leaders and thinkers of the World State. Each of the succeeding castes is conditioned to be slightly less physically and intellectually impressive. The Epsilons, stunted and stupefied by oxygen deprivation and chemical treatments, are destined to perform menial labor. Lenina Crowne, an employee at the factory, describes to the boys how she vaccinates embryos destined for tropical climates.

This is really great. Fantastic melodies, arrangement, and production. I really like the sounds you've used here. Great work on the sax, it sounds very nice and expressive. The bass and the pads from Magix sounds really great too. Im listening to it for the 5th time now. I like the mood in this one. I agree with the other, its very cinematic. I hope its possible to download.. Yes it is. :) Thanks!

Excellent work Michael!! Not only the leaning to the novel of Aldous Huxley, but also the instrumentations is simply first class. Liked the deep bass sequences forecasting a dark atmosphere...pristine lead parts peformed with the Sax ( and brass). Production, mix and arrangement top shelf. An excellent cinematic track in my opinion. Well done!

I remember this novel, I was probably a young teenager when I read the story. Excellent track, love the composition and the production is first class. Would be great as a soundtrack to a new movie based on the novel. The music definitely conveys the mood of the book and feeling/picture you get when reading it.
