〈Information High〉 is a song from the soundtrack of the animation Macross Plus (1995).
The song is a supreme frenzy of into tech. The accompanying lyrics is also superb in describing a state of info-technological frenzy.
It's written and sung by the fantastic Yoko Kanno (aka Gabriela Robin, Sharon Apple).
Title: Information High Singer: Gabriela Robin Lyrics: Dai ＆ Ken=Go. Music: CMJK (Yoko Kanno?)
You know how to get eternal life in the center of the lightening-speed waltz. Feel your soul cut by a rusty knife as you head for the self-destructive edge. Our satori are just floating in the core where we can spiritually go through the door. We'll know how to get eternal life while we catch the pulse from unknown satellites If we get the transient facts, then we feel the info high. If we get the transient facts, then we are really free to fly high in space. We know how to get an internal high in the center of the lightening-speed waltz. See our soul struggling to survive, As we head down for the self-destructive edge.
Sayonara to intrusive noise. No more childish play and no more toys. We know how to get eternal life while we feel and sense mother nature's strong might. △ If we get the transient facts, then we feel the info high. If we get the transient facts, then we feel the info high. If we get the transient facts, then we feel the info high. If we get the transient facts, then we are really free to fly high in space. △
This song, in the context of the movie, is sung by pop queen named Sharon Apple, who is a Artificial Intelligence program, projecting herself as a hologram.
They are the best songs.
