Patient Zero
The Psychogeographical Commission's second album is an attempt to psychologically portray the mind of a Patient Zero wandering through their Urban surroundings infected with a solar disease at the Summer Solstice and tracking the advancement of symptoms as the sun goes from the height of it's earthly power to it's astronomical nadir.
Written throughout the six month period at times of lunar or solar significance, each song portrays a thought, experience or mood of the time and place of it's conception, a true record of the Sun's dark passenger.

Named after the Roman mythological 'Spirit of the Place' the Psychogeographical Commission's debut album attempts to explore further the Psychogeographical nature of our built environment and is therefore written to be played whilst interacting with a city, but it sounds equally great on a stereo.

Bacterium
"Plural bacteria: Any of a large group of one-celled organisms that lack a cell nucleus, reproduce by fission or by forming spores, and in some cases cause disease. They are the most abundant lifeforms on Earth, and are found in all living things and in all of the Earth's environments. Bacteria usually live off other organisms. Bacteria make up most of the kingdom of prokaryotes (Monera or Prokaryota), with one group (the archaea or archaebacteria) often classified as a separate kingdom. See also archaeonprokaryote.
