Universal Culture Shock/Undiscovered Numbers & Colors
Universal Culture Shock/Undiscovered Numbers & Colors is a two-disc compilation album by American experimental metal band Foreign Objects released on October 31, 2004 by Distant Recordings. The first disc, Universal Culture Shock, is an album of previously unreleased material featuring guest guitarist James Murphy. Universal Culture Shock was originally intended to be the band's follow-up album to their 1995 debut EP, The Undiscovered Numbers & Colors, but after changing their direction and regrouping under the band name Oil in 1996, Foreign Objects was put aside until 2003, when vocalist and guitarist Deron Miller and drummer Jess Margera decided to begin re-recording the songs from the album. The second disc in the compilation is a remastered version of the band's original EP, The Undiscovered Numbers & Colors.

Famous quotes containing the words universal, culture, shock, undiscovered, numbers and/or colors:
“I would suggest that barbarism be considered as a permanent and universal human characteristic which becomes more or less pronounced according to the play of circumstances.”
—Simone Weil (1910–1943)
“Asia is rich in people, rich in culture and rich in resources. It is also rich in trouble.”
—Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
“There are persons who, when they cease to shock us, cease to interest us.”
—F.H. (Francis Herbert)
“who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovered country from whose bourn
No traveler returns, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“I’m not even thinking straight any more. Numbers buzz in my head like wasps.”
—Kurt Neumann (1906–1958)
“The butterfly’s attractiveness derives not only from colors and symmetry: deeper motives contribute to it. We would not think them so beautiful if they did not fly, or if they flew straight and briskly like bees, or if they stung, or above all if they did not enact the perturbing mystery of metamorphosis: the latter assumes in our eyes the value of a badly decoded message, a symbol, a sign.”
—Primo Levi (1919–1987)
