What influences my music is much more than the borrowed ideas of various musical themes already written. My music is inspired by the direction of my life and by the people and experiences influencing that. My music tends to be commercial, but without commercialism fewer people will get to experience what I have created, and thus less of an influence my contributions will have on the ever growing mind of the universe itself.
Some artists that I enjoy listening to and greatly admire are:
Beatles, John Lennon, Verdi, Cure, Debussy, Ray Lynch, Beethoven, Samuel Barber, Duran Duran, Peter Gabriel, Depeche Mode, Pink Floyd, U2, Faithless, Keane, Barry Gibb, Tom Petty, ELO, Nile Rogers, Bowie, Pet Shop Boys, A. Badalamenti, John Denver, Elton John, The Cars, Lisa Gerrard, Matt Darey, Armand Van Helden
"A good songwriter borrows ideas, a great songwriter steals them." -J. Lennon

......If you think my music blows you up, I challenge you to at least take a glance at my new book, "BECOMING GOD"
I know what you're thinking.... "A Book? - you want me to read a book?" and the answer is yes!
...... If you're too lazy to read then check out the Audio version and I will read it to you. The book is tight. It's all about consciousness and the mystery of reality. What if I were to tell you that the stuff you see when your trippin' and the emotions you feel when you're rollin' "is reality" and that the world in front of your eyes everyday is the delusion. Crazy right? What if I could prove it to you? Look, I'm not condoning psychedelics, but if you're into my music, more than likely you know what I am talking about, so I won't bullshit you. The beautiful part is, there is a way to get there without the drugs. Pure Imagination is all that it takes, you just need someone to show you how to use it.
......The things I will get you thinking about in this book will completely blow your mind; it might even change some ways you think about things... who knows, it might even change your life. It did for me.
Some of you might think that this is awesome and some of you might even think that this is a bit looney. Thats because this stuff either resonates with you or it doesn't. If it does, then its the most important thing in your life, if it doesn't then you simply aren't ready yet, so just enjoy the kick ass music.
......Regardless of what your opinion is now, at least read some of the comments from the people who have checked the book out. Sure, there are a few comments from my fans who are going to love anything that I do, but there are also some impressive opinions from people who do not know my music. Everyone who has read it is blown away by it. I am even getting some major attention from some very influential people in the world including some brilliant scientists and philosophers who think this book may be one of the most important books of our time.
......Something amazing is happening in the world today. There is a shift in human consciousness taking place, an evolution of the human mind. If its happening to you and want to be a part of this amazing movement, as so many of you already are... contact me through my Becoming God Page. You can find a link to it in my Top 8. or Click on the Link to Visit the Website for further mind numbing conversation. CLICK HERE::: Becoming God -A Book By Ford
"We are Pure Imagination. Life is the expression of the possibilities of our imagination that exceed our comprehension."
This Interview was recorded Friday March 7th 2008 for "Connecting The Dots", a weekly podcast “exploring the surprising connections between spirituality, science, and world affairs. The show is hosted by Baruti KMT,a brilliant and independant sociologist and researcher who is also the founder of Radical Scholar.

thanks for the add! hope you like the tracks! feel free to leave me a comment anytime! don't forget to scroll down and check out my remixes on the ccmixter player and tell me if you like em or if i should change em.
charmed life? -tell me about it...haha ...stand up? oh- i will!... and STILL to this day, WAY after the usual track expiration date even the barstool-bandits will 'STAND UP!' for those 2 high-octane reconstructions... every track gets tired...eventually... but those 2 somehow will envoke the same level of euphoria the 1st, 10th, or 100th, time someone either drops it or feels compelled to 'get up off the wall' and interact with them... whatever secret-spice you put in those should be FDA classified as a schedule one narcotic!!!!
