Urban Uprising And Emerald Planet

my tracks Urban Uprising and Emerald Planet are both parts of the same thought (i suppose), polar opposites of a concept. i wrote Urban Uprising in 2001, final touch in 2002 and it was released later that year. i wrote Emerald Planet in 2003 and it was released in 2005.
just as Emerald Planet, Urban Uprising arose out of a certain mindset. and it was my dearest wish to express and communicate this mindset with this track. most people believe in the concept of "good", or "positive". and these who are cynical or negative retain some notion of the good. if they don't think society or the world is good, they at least think some of their social surrounding or activites are somewhat good. it gives them comfort and something that they can find solace him. before i made Urban Uprising, i embraced the mindset that there was no good at all to be found in the world. no real happiness. no real joy. no hope. no solution. no exit. no light of the day. that all the nice words of the philosophers who talked about tasks, goals, ways to attain something real, pure and good was mere children's wishes, pipe dreams. no solution - not political, cultural, social, philosphical or in any other way. that the notion of "good" itself had to be abandoned. but i didn't embrace this in a cynical or negative way - i didn't feel put down by this. in itself, this felt as something "positive". as pure freedom. if you don't have to strive for any "good" anymore you can enjoy life at is is - finally. this was the point my thoughts circled around, and that i wanted to drive home. 1000s of years people had been oppressed and slaughtered for a "higher good". so let us forget any "higher good" forever!
it also didn't mean that i would not experience happyiness or laughter or joy - but happiness embedded in real life, in the actual world, not a serene, exalted joy, that the philosophers talked about. as i said, i put all this to "pipe dreams" of history.
so Urban Uprising arised of 100% nihil if you wish.
now, Emerald Planet came from the exact different direction. with it, i wanted to express love. sweet, pure, honest, overarching, total and 100% love. this was what i wanted to spread, to send out in the world.
happiness, joy, love, sweetness, enjoyment, complete bliss became a sudden possibility again, a thing that is real. one of my inspirations that i wanted to follow on was the music of David Lynch and Julee Cruise, which was produced by Angelo Badalamenti. of course i didn't want to copy anything, i just found a certain mood, expression in these songs, that i truly liked. listen to a song like "Falling" or "The Nightingale", and maybe you can find some sort of resemblance in Emerald Planet? maybe it's just in my thought.
so this was the tiny message i wanted to give to the world. did i succeed? hard to say. but maybe i could give some happiness to the world.

note: this might seem like a personal story of extreme moodswings to some people but it is not. as i said, i didn't really feel sad or down about the first idea. it was - to a large part - a 'philosophical' conception (even though i often hate this word). same for the second part.
