UNIT A Study Of Alkaline Metals
We have recorded numerous tracks related to physics, mathematics and astronomy over the previous 3 decades so I decided it was time for a chemistry session. I contrived this lyric over music already written – an extreme rarity since I invariably write a lyric first and then decide what music should accompany it. This is intended as the final track on our 35th album, Animalevolance.
CO2 and H2O are obvious enough. K2CO3 is potassium carbonate, KHCO3 is potassium hydrocarbonate, HNO3 is nitric acid, NH3 is ammonia, NH4NO3 is ammonium nitrate, TiCl4 is titanium chloride, Na is sodium, Ti is titanium and NaCl is Sodium chloride.
After the solution was added to the flask,
I knew I’d completed my third and final task:
caesium suspended in questions you may ask.
Sodium, potassium...alkaline metals...caesium, rubidium...alkaline metals.
Complete the course and solve the sum...activity settles!
My passion for science cannot disguise the fact
that my open defiance meant I would be attacked
by people whose defiance displayed the faith they lacked.
Sodium, potassium...alkaline metals...caesium, rubidium...alkaline metals.
Complete the course and solve the sum...activity settles!
Why did you believe I did not know what to do?
Did you not receive all the notes I sent to you?
Although I will not deceive you – this process is quite new.
Sodium, potassium...alkaline metals...caesium, rubidium...alkaline metals.
Complete the course and solve the sum...activity settles!
CO2 + H2O + K2CO3 = 2KHCO3
HNO3 (aqueous) + NH3 (aqueous) = NH4NO3 (aqueous)
TiCl4 + 4Na = Ti + 4NaCl
When faced with an active element, an even more active element is required.
Remember: keep alkaline metals away from water.

In 2016 we released our 30th album (Fast – Clean – Cheap) and with it an era passed. We realised it is neither necessary nor desirable to continue to issue our work on compact discs. The process is expensive and time consuming (pressing CDs, printing booklets and tray cards, buying jiffy bags, going to the post office – it’s so 1990s) so now Band Camp exists, an avenue is presented by which we can release our work to the public directly. Our projects will be obtainable from this address:
http://unit-united.bandcamp.com.
The paypal address for our Band Camp and Lulu sites is [email protected].
In addition there are currently 12 books available.
01) Progressive Rock – The Music That Dare Not Speak Its Name.
02) Chinese Cinema 1905 – 2005.
03) Faded Fragments Of Distant Dreams (autobiography).
04) The Essays (science, history, politics and the arts).
05) The Workshop (dream diaries and cut-ups).
06) I Wish I Was Dead (autobiography).
07) Dare To Be Different (interviews and articles).
08) Not In Front Of The Children (a study of Grange Hill 1978 – 1993) with photographs, episode synopses, cast lists and a contemporary debate on the programme with a group of teenagers from a local housing estate plus a historical survey of children’s television drama 1960 – 1990).
09) Fast – Clean – Cheap (a collection of art, poetry, stories, essays and articles by various contributors including past and present members of UNIT).
10) My Very Brief & Unsuccessful Career As A Human Being (autobiography including a history of The Apostles, Academy 23 and UNIT).
11) Civil Disobedience (a collection of short stories for children).
12) Behind The Bike Shed (a novel for children).
These are proper books in print, not fake, ersatz ‘books’ you see advertised on the internet these days as ‘e-books’. They can be purchased from lulu.com. Type ‘Andy Martin – Grange Hill’ to locate them.
