Selfie stick, hopeless romantic The last line of defence for Mankind Grumpy cat claws away at the eyes of the all-knowing internet hive mind Web 2.0, the world we've come to know, could be gone tomorrow Without S.M. reach and R.S.S. feeds, what would we have to show?

about

Through a disciplined, heavily synthesised, Kraut Heavy approach to electronic pop music, Sammartino warns of the potential of humanity overreaching through the internet. The project is the culmination of 13 years grappling with the art of recording music, carefully treading the line between analog and digital, synthesised and organic and constantly reassessing, second guessing. Relentless Motorik, Moog synthesis and vocoder come together to form a warning cry to the internet generation; human but without the power to relate.

The Never Quenched Thirst is Sammartino's debut release and features 4 songs:

A1 The Automatic Life
A2 N.A.S.A
B1 The Contest of Being
B2 Nodes

All 4 songs are included in the digital download and cassette releases.
