Band Name: Secret du Roi (French for ‘King’s Secret’)  
Album: Heckler & Koch SL8 - (Death metal? Social commentary?)

1. Roboman - (Yeah, I’m thinking some kind of synthed up social commentary about brainwashed masses.)
2. Telmac TMC-600 - (No clue. It’s a rare Finnish microcomputer from the '80s…)
3. Eagle Eye Mysteries - (Kinda cool. Probably harping on US politics.)
4. Criticality Accident - (Sounds like an awesome song title.)
5. Haradrim - (An homage to Tolkein? Why not? Lots of bands do it.)
6. Obernheim - (Some town in Germany, kind of a nice sounding name though.)
7. Bentendo - (Let’s worship the goddess!)
8. MacQuarium - (Haha! This is awesome. Fishtank/Mac computer, I can see where the lyrics are going already.)
9. Intermission (Stratovarius album) - (Tribute to Stratovarius, I guess. We must like Finnish stuff.)
10. Conference of the Birds - (So much potential for symbolism here!)
11. Henri Chapu - (A tribute to a great period of art.)
12. Tractatus Coislinianus - (Can you imagine trying to sing this term out loud???)
13. Electronic Music - (LOL!)
14. Frampton’s Camel - (A tribute to Peter Frampton, I guess.)
15. Powerpuff Girls: Relish Rampage - (Definitely the signature song on this album!)

I have to say that I really like the titles I got. The name is kind of catchy, and the track names are wonderful. That album name doesn’t seem to have much to do with anything, though.

I see a lot of potential for tracks 1, 4, 8, 10, and 15.

6. Gregers Birgersson  
_a song about a knight. It’s about five minutes long, with two guitar solos_
7. L’Inconnue de la Seine  
_this is a Dead Can Dance style song_
8. Deoxythymidine monophosphate  
_an electronic song with lots of synths_
9. Cruiser Squadron  
_a shanty with accordions_
10. Tropical Storm Winnie  
_a song about Winnie The Pooh and the Blustery Day_
11. 1938 British Home Championship  
_an English drinking song_
12. Wastebasket taxon  
_I like the sound of this one. It has kind of a Tom Waits junkyard thing_
13. Rosario Oeste Station  
_back to the transportation theme of the first two songs. I like it_
14. Vera Gafron  
_a song about the woman we’re all in love with_
15. Syncarpia glomulifera  
_we close the album with a short but fun song about trees in Australia_

So the first couple of songs are power-pop. Then we get in a bit of an identity crisis, with tracks 3-8 trying out lots of different styles but mostly failing and coming off as pretentious. Then for the rest of the album we’re mostly imitating The Pogues.
