Though this is perhaps not groundbreaking extropic news, it is worth
mentioning that Joe Satriani has a newish album out called _Engines of
Creation_. I bought it partially out of curiosity, and was happily
surprised that the title is apparently no coincidence...the graphic design
features complex assemblers etc., and the music itself is a major turn
towards electronica (albeit with a lot of amazing guitar work).

This is exactly the kind of meme propogation that I think is very healthy
for public awareness...it causes the average listener to question the basis
of the title, then discover and hopefully support that basis. Power to
Satriani for being successful without compromise.
