On Magdalena Bay's Website there is a map. Navigating through the areas, there are pages laid out like moving paintings, reusing imagery from the band's music videos. There is one very interesting region, the Outskirts (which doesn't immediately seem recognizable to one of the scenes in a music video). However, unlike the videos for "Image" and "Death & Romance" + "Fear, Sex", which lead into each other, the video for "That's My Floor" ends very abruptly. It seems very anticlimactic at first, but the surroundings the video ends on appear to be very much like The Outskirts of the website.

This webpage, where the "Cry for Me" music video should be, is an extremely long JPEG that asks you to walk down the path until you've atoned for your sins. The beautifully strange imagery at the start with the headless figures, leads down an otherworldly desert landscape where it asks you periodically to slow down due to the weight of your guilt. (I think this gives a really interesting dimension to "Cry for Me" (and the full album), making it a journey through spiritual suffering). The path eventually leads to a cocoon that you may enter.

The core idea of Imaginal Disk is the type of beautiful idea of elegantly simple depth you wish you could have come up with yourself. It all revolves around the three levels of intrepretation: True's story of Imaginal Disk (the fantastical dream-story of CDs installed in your mind and alien boyfriends), The personal metaphors of imaginal discs (analagous to spiritual metamorphosis), and the metafiction of Matt & Mica ('Argentine Fabregé'). The full album works on all three levels simultaneously, in your mind you can switch between them, and they are always interconnected. I love this way of exploring these themes (and it is a great example of this style of art where the Aesthetics, Subtext/Metaphors, and Metafiction join together intentionally to make something all encompassing. In Memory - In Mirror - In Membrane

'Killing Time' is also a beautifully used theme that works on multiple levels (as an example for art in general). The image of literally Killing Time ('Bang Bang'), the commonplace interpretation of wasting time just so it can pass, then the ultimate usage of eternity as the present moment being everlasting, felt in love with someone. 'Without love / I'm without me' pre-echoes the sentiment of 'Cause when I see me through your eyes / I love me, so don't leave my side' the beautiful Amora Obscura style of love, the Mirror. This only finally culminates in "The Ballad of Matt & Mica," 'Killing time every day / Bang-bang, never ending'

WIP - the music itself, song flow into each other.
