		The following is a collection of mixtapes created during that time, which include a fusion of styles, ranging from hip-hop to soul-jazz to drum and bass, and many others.
		Most of the tracks used in these mixes were great inspirations for creativity for DJ Urizen, and hopefully, for you as well.

	Urizen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the complex mythology of William Blake, Urizen was the embodiment of reason and law.
		Urizen is one of the four Zoas that result from the division of the primordial man, Albion.
		The symbolism of Freemasonry is another possible source of Blake's imagery for Urizen.

		Urizen retires from his labors and returns to his emanation Ahania for comfort and renewal (such services are provided in Beulah as relief from the Ulro, but the benefits of Beulah are largely denied Urizen).
		Urizen curses them and they, in turn, curse Tharmas (the logic seems to be that the curse directed at Tharmas in his role as god of water prevents the satisfaction of Urizen's desire).
		Urizen responds with admonitions to keep the commandments of duty and law, and then summons his three daughters--Eleth, Uveth, and Ona--to knead the "bread of Sorrow" (79.23) that is a symbol of religious hypocrisy, food that pretends to nourish but, instead, starves humanity.

	Urizen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Urizen is a leveler of hope, a destroyer of dreams, a necroplasmic fury with a heart as dark as midnight.
		Urizen is the void, the dark god, a walking fl hole of negative energy set free to spark the Apocalypse, the coming war between Heaven and Hell.
		The Urizen action figure stands 9 1/4 inches tall to the top of his horns and is articulated at the neck, right shoulder, elbows, wrists, chest (ball joint) and hips.

	The Strange Attraction of Blake's Urizen
		Urizen leaves "Eternity" for the "Void," and there is, at least, a suggestion towards the end of the poem of a return to plenitude, a progression from what was initially the "Void" -- and eventually becomes a differentiated and debased materiality -- towards another level or space.
		The transvaluation of chaos is forecast in the poem when Urizen is initially described as "the formless unmeasurable death," indicating an amorphous, undifferentiated and meaningless absence of order, who then progresses on to form "a line and a plummet / To divide the Abyss beneath" (20:33-34, E 80) [3].
		Urizen's desire to control and ratify his realm, to underscore his constellated orbit of information, results in a tragic "rut" of sorts; identity is so deeply entrenched as to become a prison.

		Once Urizen sets him in the brain, the initially balanced scheme of things is destroyed and the fallen Zoas begin their struggles with each other, the war between Urizen and Luvah being the main conflict.
		Urizen is "the firstborn of eternity, the state of self-knowledge, arising from experience, intelligence, and the reasoning faculty" (Berger 130), and as the first separate Zoa he takes on the most prominent role.
		Urizen, then, becomes the main antagonist to the Universal Man, proclaiming himself "God/ Of all this dreadful ruin" (79:23-4) that is the world he and the others have made.

	Glossary
		Urizen creates one such universe or dwelling place, but rather than seeing it as one among many, he sees it as the only universe and its laws, his laws, as the only laws.
		Grodna, the third son of Urizen, is the element earth.
		As the creator of the fallen world, Urizen takes on the role of the monotheistic deity and lawgiver, Jehovah, or the Nobodaddy of "To Nobodaddy." In his role of founder of this religion, the creator of the net of religion, he is the Primeval Priest.

	M.Schwartz: Chaotic Systems and Blake's Mythology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Urizen hopes "for a joy without pain, / For a solid without fluctuation" (4:10-11), insecurely seeking to escape the threatening pain of the presence of Others, to establish a complete universe separate from the "completeness" of Eternal unity; this of course proves to be impossible.
		Urizen reacts to this perceived chaos by promulgating his sexually and morally repressive decree in the style of the stern God of the Old Testament, establishing "One command, one joy, one desire, / One curse, one weight, one measure / One King, one God, one Law" (4:38-40).
		Urizen has pushed his world to extremes by means of his repressive laws attempting to limit the creative fires that burn within the beings he has tried to create separate from Eternity.

		Urizen does attempt to establish such a narrative – describing his ‘fightings and conflicts dire’ (4: 27; E72) – but he is continually interrupted by inarticulate audio and visual images, which reduce his story to fragments of dialogue within a larger narrative, itself constituted by a series of interruptions.
		Although the religious repercussions of Urizen’s failure to provide a stable ontological ground for himself and his children may seem far removed from cognitive science, it is in their depictions of this trauma that Blake’s texts intersect with research into implicit memory and dissociation.
		In Urizen, on the other hand, exposition is constantly on the verge of being overwhelmed by description, by a profusion of adjectives, adverbs, and gerunds, which depict ‘hurtling bones’ (8: 2; E74), ‘fibres of blood milk and tears’ (18:4; E78), and ‘throbbings and shootings and grindings’ (25: 27; E82).

	CD Baby: URIZEN: autocratopolis
		URIZEN (pronounced "YER-is-en" not "Yer-EYE-zen) was born from the ashes of Colorado based Black Metallers "Dunwich Horror" in a vague transitional period between the summer of 2001 and spring 2002.
		Now, "autocratopolis" in hand, URIZEN is ready to strike out into the world delivering their quirky brand of metal, "the goods" and "the secret to happiness" (see track 10 of "autocratopolis") to all who would accept them.
		Urizen is fresh, creative and a hell of a lot of fun.

		She says: "I associate Urizen strongly with Lockean thought..." I assume she means by that the fallen Urizen.
		I need help thinking about Urizen the unfallen, Urizen as one of the four energies, called by that name according to Kathleen Raine because of the implication that his activities engender a "horizon" which has to be taken into account.
		Urizen's habit of measuring and setting limits can be either constructive or destructive, but we tend to see it only in its fallen form.

	Essay
		On the title plate, Urizen seems actually to be reading with his foot, literally "toeing the line." Peering out from between the strands of his beard the right foot (inexplicably on the body's left side) seems to be holding a place in the text.
		Urizen is as physical and as earthbound as Man. The foot resting on the text may also imply the physical stamping required to create the book itself.
		Well-defined feet figure prominently in at least half of the plates in Urizen and almost all of Urizen's feet seem to be firmly and flatly situated in the foreground with at least one strangely prehensile toe pointing at the reader/viewer.

	J. Randonis: Blake's Transformation of the Gothic Tradition
		Blake's Urizen, at first glance, does not seem "Gothic" at all: there is no insane priest or monk, no virgin fleeing for her life or attempting to maintain her sexual purity, no winding staircases, ghosts, or haunted castles with secret corridors.
		Blake pictures Urizen "transcribing the names of the saved and the damned into the Book of Life and the Book of Death" which asserts that Urizen's assurance of "future reward for the obedient and damnation for the recalcitrant [is] a sham that actually creates and preserves the fallen world" (Tannenbaum 222-223).
		Urizen's forced entrapment continues with the emergence of Los, Blake's first depiction in Urizen of the Doppelganger motif, a theme common to the Gothic.

		He creates the very "rivets of iron and brass" that contain Urizen's chaotic form, essentially capturing energy and channeling it through the five senses.
		Though Urizen ("your reason") is a character associated with the mind and the five senses that feed it, he was originally pulled from Los' side, much like Eve was formed from Adam's rib.
		Whereas Urizen is reason and Los is channeled creativity or work, Orc functions like the Freudian Id. Los is the bridge between the other two (all three are called Eternals in Blake's terminology).

		To serve Urizen means to suffer at the hands of one who would leach the life from a man’s heart.
		Urizen can harness the lightning and the wind as his weapons; once per turn he can also tame the soul of any non-divine being with a touch.
		The write-up of Urizen is very good, though, indeed I've thought in the past that in Blake's weird esoterica there lay the seeds of a decent Cthulhu story.

		And the Four Zoa's who are the Four Eternal Senses of Man Urizen, whose original position is in the south, displaces Luvah in the East.
		Blake interprets the rise of Urizen to the fore of consciousness as the main cause of the loss of "The Divine Vision," or the vision of the infinite in all things.

		When Ahania separates from Urizen in The Book of Ahania, the separation is due to a violent assault on Urizen by his son Fuzon.
		Urizen, when he casts her out, condemns her for this very quality, because she is purely passive and receptive in her relation to him.
		Urizen follows up this condemnation of the passive feminine principle with a characterization of Ahania in all those images traditionally associated with the world-cave, Porphyry’s beautiful ‘irriguous cavern’ of the nymphs.

	The [First] Book of Urizen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The poem is in many respects a heterodox rewriting of Genesis, one in which the creation of the universe is seen as a fall into materiality and its abstract laws.
		The process is initiated by Urizen when he separates himself from his fellow "Eternals" and thereby creates difference, absence, and self-consciousness.
		As Urizen falls into this void of his own making, Los reacts by building a material and temporal base below which Urizen cannot descend.

		Los wept howling around the dark Demon: And cursing his lot; for in anguish, Urizen was rent from his side; And a fathomless void for his feet; And intense fires for his dwelling.
		In stanza nine, at least one possible reading of "Urizen was rent from his side" implies that Los was prior to Urizen and that Urizen was created from Los.
		Following McGann's claim, the Book of Urizen may be based on the first books of the bible; however, Blake's transformation of a temporal creation account is so troubling that it prevents simple correlation between the Book of Urizen and claims made in Rights of Man that man's rights proceed immediately from the moment of creation.

		Once she had rejoiced when Urizen returned in the evening, the sweat pouring from his temples, after his sowin g the seed of eternal science in the human soul (5:28-36); but when Fuzon’s globe of wrath divided Urizen’s loins, she became a separate being (2:32).
		As Urizen is Jehovah, and Fuzon a strangely Titanic Moses, we are suddenly startled by the audacity of Blake’s myth, more radical than Freud’s suggestions in Moses and Monotheism.
		The conflict of Urizen and Fuzon is sexual, in that the son has s ought to wound and thus awaken the cold loins of his father.

		One of the primary features of the prototypical self is the ability to produce and identify with a reasonably complete personal narrative.
		Similar possibilities are explored, both verbally and visually, in Blake's Book of Urizen, which challenges dominant Lockean models of the self.
		Reading Blake alongside recent research into memory and identity yields insight into the continued influence of eighteenth-century ideas about identity, explores the wider moral dimensions of such psychological models and suggests alternate ways of interpreting a variety of psychological phenomena.
