Kinetic (Ancient Greek: κίνησις “kinesis”, movement or to move) may refer to:
The Crystal Method is an American electronic music and keyboardist duo formed in Las Vegas, Nevada by Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland in the early 1990s. The Crystal Method's music has appeared in numerous TV shows, films, video games, and advertisements. Their best-selling album, Vegas, was certified platinum in 2007.
The Crystal Method is made up of two members, Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland. Before The Crystal Method was formed, Ken and Scott started working on music while working at a grocery store and while Ken was a local DJ in Las Vegas as well as the college radio program director at UNLV. Ken taught Scott how to DJ, and when Ken moved to L.A. to work for a producer, Scott took over his job DJing at the local club. Scott would follow Ken out to L.A., and they formed The Crystal Method in 1993.
By the early '90s, both Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland had moved from Las Vegas to Los Angeles. Ken and Scott bought a house together, in Glendale, California, which had a small underground shelter beneath the front lawn. Originally intending to turn the shelter into a studio, it proved to be an unrealistic idea and the duo set up a studio in their house which was located under a Los Angeles overpass. They subsequently named their studio The Bomb Shelter. They were interviewed on the front lawn of the house in the documentary Better Living Through Circuitry.
"Welcome
This transmission
From a fallen star
Otherwise known as Arcturus"
Light has departed
From this black sun
But please put us on
To bring darkness down
From your head and home
Our enterprise a success
As return is no option
Our eyes were removed
For our own safety
The distance too great
For you to hear our cries
Nevermind take this lamp
We are beyond light
We learned so little
Of inhuman culture
Before disappearance
Went right through us
The mothership
Boarded by fools
We escape space
In order to reach
Our destination
And if you are listening
Please tell us about the time
Where and when we exist
No more
For when you go
We go with you
