Album Notes

On September 11, 2001, four American planes were hijacked and used as bombs. Beginning with the trip to the airport and thoughts of the al Qedea hijackers, al Qaeda Lament (i), the next song "Mile of Runway leads Anywhere" is dedicated to the unsuspecting flight attendants. As the first flight gets underway a Captain expresses his love for flying and life through the song Silver Wings. The plight and struggle for control by the passengers on another plane to overcome the hijackers is felt audibly in Heroes of Flight UA93.

The panic demonstrated by the hijackers due to the heroic effort is dealt with in al Qaeda Lament (ii). While the WTC flames burn out of control a young expectant mother, comforts her unborn baby in Unborn Baby of Tower One. The full frontal attack on the fires destroying the Twin Towers is encapsulated in Firefighter. In reaction to the forgoing events the "President" explodes into reactive symphony in Not on my Watch.

Cold steel captures the thoughts and actions of a USAF Bomber Pilot on the way to Afghanistan.
al Qaeda Lament (iii) deals with the Taliban supporters grappling over the consequences of their actions on 9/11. Rise up New York is a refreshing account of the resilience of the City delivered by the Mayor.

Silent Prayer provides the listener with a private moment to reflect. Speedy Duck Records produce Musical interpretations of World events.
