Spiritual Machines
''Spiritual Machines'' is the fourth studio album by the Canadian alternative rock band Our Lady Peace, released by Columbia Records in December 2000. Although not initially intended, the project evolved into a conceptual interpretation of futurist and inventor Raymond Kurzweil's 1999 book ''The Age of Spiritual Machines''. Short tracks of spoken dialog from Kurzweil himself are interspersed among the actual songs on the album. The Kurzweil K250 keyboard, one of his inventions, was utilized throughout the recording of the album. The album was written and recorded in two months while the band was still on tour in support of their previous record, '' Happiness... Is Not a Fish That You Can Catch'', which had only been released 14 months prior. A combination of lead singer-songwriter Raine Maida's prolific songwriting at the time and lead-guitarist Mike Turner's discovery of ''The Age of Spiritual Machines'' in a bookstore hurried the completion of the album. The band only took a br ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Birdman (song)
"The Birdman" is Our Lady Peace's first music single, single off their debut album ''Naveed (album), Naveed''. Because of the ''Naveed'' cover, Saul Fox is best known for being the Birdman.

Release "The Birdman" is the first single released by Our Lady Peace, only in Canada, on January 17, 1994. It was considered to be the least accessible track off ''Naveed'' and was chosen to be the first single for that reason. According to Catherine McRae, manager of domestic marketing and artist development for Sony Music Canada, "We deliberately chose a single which wasn't an immediate, commercial, hit-radio single and then serviced it specifically first to campus radio to build a street buzz on the band."LeBlanc, Larry.
