	Chicago's Lost Album - The Stone of Sisyphus

	Image and Text in Hypermedia Literature
		Camus is not so much interested in Sisyphus' rolling up the rock to the top of the summit and, in his hard labor, becoming one with the rock.
		He is fascinated by the pause when Sisyphus reaches the summit and starts to descend downwards to get ready to roll up the stone again.
		The digital sand etchings traced by the ball operated by Sisyphus are the realization of this state of pause, an aesthetic pause that takes the beholder beyond the preoccupation with mundane rituals of life to a heightened state of awareness.

		The album’s title, and song of the same name, referenced the Greek tragedy of Sisyphus, an inveterate sinner who is condemned to roll a huge rock up a mountain every day, only to have it roll back down each night.
		Though “Stone of Sisyphus,” as written by Bailey, was a love song from the guitarist to his girlfriend, the neverending futility of the ancient story reflected how some of the band members had been feeling about the artistic freedom they’d sacrificed in order to remain commercially relevant.
		Lyrically, though Sisyphus was not a return to socially conscious form for the band, it did represent a substantial deviation from what had become the norm for Chicago.

	SparkNotes: The Myth of Sisyphus: Summary
		The central concern of The Myth of Sisyphus is what Camus calls "the absurd." Camus claims that there is a fundamental conflict between what we want from the universe (whether it be meaning, order, or reasons) and what we find in the universe (formless chaos).
		The book ends with a discussion of the myth of Sisyphus, who, according to the Greek myth, was punished for all eternity to roll a rock up a mountain only to have it roll back down to the bottom when he reaches the top.
		Camus claims that Sisyphus is the ideal absurd hero and that his punishment is representative of the human condition: Sisyphus must struggle perpetually and without hope of success.

		At this point in time, the creativity of Stone Of Sisyphus (also commonly called SOS) would have been welcomed with open arms into the music world.
