+I ran across this CD-ROM while cleaning out some old boxes of SGI software. It
+contains promotional songs that accompanied the [SGI
+Octane](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SGI_Octane) launch circa 1997(ish).
+
+Since the only other links I see online appear to be dead, I will preserve the
+songs here as a lesson to future generations. Take heed: when your workstations cost five
+figures, weird marketing isn't a substitute for performance.
+
+With that out of the way, enjoy some UNIX workstation marketing music from a
+more light-hearted time in computing history.  And don't worry, the album cover
+clearly notes, "WARNING: Explicit lyrics do not play backwards."
+
+  - Ignite Your Mind [5.6MB MP3](./SGI_Ignite-Your-Mind.mp3)
+  - I Have A Dream [6.7MB MP3](./SGI_I-Have-A-Dream.mp3)
+  - OCTANE Swing [5.1MB MP3](./SGI_OCTANE-Swing.mp3)
+  - Retro OCTANE [5.8MB MP3](./SGI_Retro-OCTANE.mp3)
+  - Knee Deep In 3D [6.6MB MP3](./SGI_Knee-Deep-In-3D.mp3)
+
+For anyone doubting the pure artistry on display in this musical marketing
+masterpiece, peruse some sample lyrics.
+
+**Knee Deep In 3D:**
+
+    I can texture and convolute.
+    I'm gonna rotate and spin.
+    These graphics so damn realistic,
+    Oh I think it's a sin.
+    
+    Now I'm seeing virtual reality,
+    Is it liquor or is it truth?
+    Am I seeing advanced 3D graphics,
+    Or just too much vermouth?
+
+**I Have A Dream:**
+
+    I have a dream and it's two CPUs.
+    What this will mean, is no more desktop blues.
+    Modeling and rendering, designing, analyzing, just pick any two.
+    I have one dream and it's two CPUs.
+    
+    I have a dream and it's called a crossbar switch.
+    What this will mean is no big data glitch.
+    Peer-to-peer, have no fear, get data in and out of here,
+        just with the flip of a switch.
+    I have a dream and it's called a crossbar switch.
+
+**OCTANE Swing:**
+
+    Octane, we're gonna rocktane.
+    But this thing called Octane, it swings with performance.
+    Octane, competition is inshocktane.
+    But this thing called Octane, it swings with performance.
+    
+    You don't need a hero,
+    You don't need any myth.
+    What you need is some action,
+    So get a load of this.
+    
+    You don't wanna be mediocore,
+    Not just run of the mill,
+    Some computer hacking joker,
+    Baby grab that thrill.
