Personnel
The following people were involved in the making of !:
Albums of recorded music were developed in the early 20th century, first as books of individual 78rpm records, then from 1948 as vinyl LP records played at 331⁄3rpm. Vinyl LPs are still issued, though in the 21st century albums sales have mostly focused on compact disc (CD) and MP3 formats. The audio cassette was a format used in the late 1970s through to the 1990s alongside vinyl.
An album may be recorded in a recording studio (fixed or mobile), in a concert venue, at home, in the field, or a mix of places. Recording may take a few hours to several years to complete, usually in several takes with different parts recorded separately, and then brought or "mixed" together. Recordings that are done in one take without overdubbing are termed "live", even when done in a studio. Studios are built to absorb sound, eliminating reverberation, so as to assist in mixing different takes; other locations, such as concert venues and some "live rooms", allow for reverberation, which creates a "live" sound. The majority of studio recordings contain an abundance of editing, sound effects, voice adjustments, etc. With modern recording technology, musicians can be recorded in separate rooms or at separate times while listening to the other parts using headphones; with each part recorded as a separate track.
Silverchair were an Australian rock band, which formed in 1992 as Innocent Criminals in Merewether, Newcastle with the line-up of Ben Gillies on drums, Daniel Johns on vocals and guitars, and Chris Joannou on bass guitar. The group got their big break in mid-1994 when they won a national demo competition conducted by SBS TV show Nomad and ABC radio station, Triple J. The band were signed by Murmur, and were successful on the Australian and international rock stages.
A Diorama game perspective can apply to games in which the entire playfield exists in a non-virtual 3D space. These dioramas data back all the way from ancient mans experimentation with automata, but saw their first major emergence in the public sphere during the late 19th century thanks to the emergence of Vending machines, Coin operated Testers / Spirometers, Plunger / Catcher type games and shooting galleries.
Dioramas can vary in the amount of detail they contain. Early coin-operated dioramas consisted of simple Meter gauges (such as the Mills 'Owl Lifter'), whereas other Fortune Telling machines attempted to bridge the uncanny valley gap. Probably the most creative though were the dioramas that utilized pins nailed onto a wooden board and sling-shot ball mechanics to give players a feeling of control but also a degree of unpredictability in the outcome (unlike Mechanical Testers which had largely predictable outcomes). The most popular of these were Pickwick, Parlor Table Bagatelle, Log Cabin, and Clown Catchers. Dioramas are not to be confused with motion simulators which also became popular around the same time.

THE GREATEST VIEW - LYRICS
You're the analyst the fungus in my milk
When you want no one and you've got someone
Through the wind you crawl and laugh at burning dunes
When no one else will ever see
Now that you know why you feel like you do
Their turning their head whilst they wait for no one
And finally I know why you feel like letting go
I'm watching you watch over me
And I've got the greatest view from here
I'm watching you watch over me
And I've got the greates...

WITHOUT YOU - LYRICS
Miles Away
There's hopeless smiles brighter than mine
And I need for you to come and go
Without the truth falling out.
Old incisions refusing to stay
Like sun through the trees on a cloudy day
Telephone
Socially scared and impaired
If the trees will bloom the wind can blow
Without the fruit falling out
Feels like the wind blows
Holding you with us
She takes no other
False light and ashes
Blooming like winter
Dry eyes and cracke...

ACROSS THE NIGHT - LYRICS
Across the night, it was the moon that stole my slumber
Across the night, I fell in love with people sleeping
I fell tired, asleep in a golden ocean
Your eyes perspired, a spike in my fascination
I don't mean to make you cry
But this feeling will run right through the night
And I'll only make you cry with these feelings
Across the night, it was the moon that stole my slumber
Across the night, I fell in love with people sleeping
Across the...

LUV YOUR LIFE - LYRICS
Thrust the candle to the dark of your disease
Burn the fishplate execute ill memories
Labyrinth of sympathy in which I'm lost and can't leave
And too much truth overshadows the lime lies
cuz what lies beneath the clouds is an
Altered perception and I'll pay for sanity
But sanity don't come cheap
You don't know the truth and I love your life
Flinch against the fire but this ain't winter
And I'm all by myself the way I wanna be
