You should listen to the tracks offered on this page.
The subliminal messages contained within these tracks encourage the listener to smile more often, work harder, and get the best out of his or her leisure time.
As the tracks on this page play, read the following essay.

"SECURITY VERSUS FREEDOM" is the dilemma facing society these days. With threats both internal and external, we must weigh the pros and cons of each. We are always hearing about specific issues related to this trade-off. Some examples are wiretapping, encryption of data on the internet, gun control, and control of pornography. In the United States, freedom has always been a battle cry. The wars that shaped the first centuries of our nation revolved around issues of freedom. Today, however, we must ask ourselves what we are actually gaining from this concept.
Pine Tree State Mind Control does not wish to force these issues. On the one hand, security is essential for society to consume and produce without constraint. On the other hand, to pass laws imposing restrictions on the activities of citizens can cause general discontent. This discontent is counter-productive. When people are protesting or complaining, they aren't consuming or producing. Discontent is non-value added.
Better we should use mind control techniques to gently push people into using these freedoms in passive (but consuming) ways. For example, the rise of the "information superhighway" has precipitated a remarkable increase in the use of high speed data transmission as a marketing outlet. What used to be a haven for perverts, punks, and pirates is now used to advertise soft drinks, sports cars, and mutual funds. The multimedia capabilities of the World Wide Web make subliminal imaging and frequencies easier to mask and deliver. The effects of this effort (with which Pine Tree State Mind Control has had regrettably little involvement) have been nearly immediate and numbing. The beast has been de-clawed. We should target youth, for they are the ones who will be programming subsequent generations. We can apply the Pareto Principle to say that 80% of your problems probably arise from 20% of the population. This 20% is a group that does not think like we do. No, this isn't a statement about race or class. It instead pertains to the legions of "nonconformists" that are loose in our streets and schools. Only when people are easily categorized have they been rendered harmless. Grouping the nonconformists is the surest way to kill them. Who looks at a hippy or punk these days without thinking of him or her as following a sold-out set of plastic ideals? And Grunge? That had a uniform before it even hit New England. If we can corral those who march to a different drummer and then get them to march in step with each other, we can nail down the trend and neutralize it. After all, someone has to distill it before we can profit from it.
When freedom ceases to raise passions or inspire and instead becomes a simple choice between predetermined methods of consumption (hippy or punk, Protestant or Catholic, Pepsi or Coke), the world will be a better place. When freedom is comfortably bridled, Pine Tree State Mind Control will have completed its mission. It should be everyone's goal to reach a point where "What do we want to watch on TV tonight" is the hardest question facing society.

Therefore, the network of "friends" listed below, though it may contain a real friend here and there, has even less validity than a middle-school clique. We are sure this bluntness breaks no hearts.

So you're trying to tell me being lied to is better than knowing the truth? This is quite untrue. Knowledge allows us to have an opinion. Being a mindless zombie is not what I enjoy.
when I first started listening to noise=the purpose of it was to show off something to people who came over and let them in on this joke-- ---over time it became part of my life to listen to-every day-many times a day------------ ----also two main purposes were to calm myself down if I was angry or even to let people know that I was angry so they knew to watch out-and the noise would make me laugh and that would calm me down---also the noise would match what was inside my brain so that would calm me down too--------------- ---also before I started listening to noise I created it and recorded it with my friends as a way to cure boredom and to interact with each other and also to be creative----------- --nowadays I listen to noise to investigate the culture and individual tracks on cds or tapes or records or mp3s--it is an analytical and also a way to think about technical ways to make sound and what effects they have on my environment------ ----I make noise to keep up my reputation as a noise maker and to let people know that I exist--------- ---why am I typing this to you-I don't know-why the hell not--- --I think that your page has a weird effect on me-it kinda makes me smile----- ---------GggG------------------
