About
Media was released in early/mid 2002, on a limited number of CDs and to the internet in MP3 form. Once again taking luna spark to the #1 spot on mp3.com.au's indie chart, Media was a step up from the previous year's Sarah - more guitars, live bass, guest vocals, rap sections and heavy distortion were all embraced on Media, as opposed to the previous thin, synthetic pop/indie sound. Surprise 'hit' came in the form of Over the Rainbow, a completely unfaithful rendition of the Wizard Of Oz classic, rendered halfway between New Order and the Primal Scream by way of Run DMC.
Countdown To Meltdown was written and recorded in conjunction with the February Album Writing Month (FAWM) - a site establised to encourage songwriters to get motivated, out of whatever ruts they may have, to bust any writers block. After failing to complete either of the previous albums he'd been working on for the previous year, tracey exenola took on the challenge laid down by FAWM, and completed the album in a little over three weeks, taking approximately 60 hours from scratch.
As a result, it wasn't nearly as consistent as 2004's Simcerity, but contained a couple of worthy entries in the luna spark canon in Burning Bush and Yellow Kevin.
