- Here is side B to the "I Drove All Night) Cassette single released in December of 2012. It's a cover of Mike and the Mechanics and a remastered and remixed version of Breaking Out.
I don't own these jams. Leave me alone.

Just sharing, but one reason I love The Protomen so much is the excellent pronounciation. Yes, I know it sounds silly, but I can always make out every word, without question. I get the full effect of the story, the song, the whole feeling of the music. Group of incredibly skilled musicians that should be playing out sold out stadiums, IMHO.
If you guys are listening to this through the playlist like I am and feel dissapointed that some songs are unavailable, you should copy paste the links from the unavailable videos and use an mp3 converter to download and listen to them.
...what playlist?

“Take the children and yourself, and hide out in the cellar.
by now the fighting will be close at hand.”
in which joe’s father is the singer of silent running. and baby joe has to watch him get hauled away as his mother’s hand presses to his mouth to keep him from screaming his little eight-year-old lungs out
also i guess joe has a sister or something
I've got one in my car, and a Walkman WM-1 on my desk.
They really made Silent Running sound amazing even though it was such a short tease of it. I hope they cover the whole song.
You're in luck now.
Nightfall95 They now have it in "The Cover Up" Album
Cassette is the symbol of the era they style their music on.
That and Vinyl, really, but all their releases are available on vinyl as it stands.
Your MOM has a cassette player laying around! AHAHAHA
No, seriously. Go ask her. She probably does.
Clearly picking up influences from Bruce Springsteen and Jim Steinman. Great track.
I freaking love that this was released on cassette. Definitely paying homage to the 80's vibe of The Protomen's stuff as others have said. It is such a nostalgic experience to put a cassette in a tape deck. Gotta love that hiss!
@christburner I see Silent Running coming from the view of the people leading into Act III. There is a line in the song that says: "Teach the children quietly, for someday sons and daughters will fight where we stood still." To me that fits perfect with where 'The Sons of Fate' left off.
The last time I talked to them at PAX, Panther and Turbo Lover told me their next big album before Act 3 was going to be a cover album. I don't know if this was technically it (I hope not because I want to buy it in a format I can actually play!) but the potential hold up is their crazy touring schedule
I have my cassette deck hooked up right next to my NES so i can play mega man while i listen to my protomen mix tapes..2013 still makin mix tapes :)
Gotta say that this mix of the song makes it feel more poetic
these songs work so well together, glad they did a remastered version. but now Breaking out kinda sounds odd with that guitar rift in it, but still really good
does anybody else hear this to be from the point of view of Joe? placing this right before breaking out feels so good. i really hope they do this whole track shit sounds good (referring to silent running)
I'm wondering if they will for their cover album. I hope so. I really dig the transition from that to Breaking Out, though. It fits so well. But I agree. They need to cover the entire song. :3
This song....makes me tear up. Seeing it live makes me cry so hard. Panther is just....so intense.
Having this tape. Not having a tape deck. My life.
It's a specific collector fanbase oriented product. It's not really a wide public material.
The release of this as a cassette is a nod to the 80s sound of The Protomen.
heck with me i listen to this tape when i read or play me old videos games i dont have a nes but i have my gameboy color and game boy advance still and i play legend of zelda oracale of seasons and ages plus pokemon
This is now in my headcanon
I like this version a lot :)
Probably the best rendition of that M+M classic I've ever heard...
I really wish they did the entirety of Silent Runnings! I love this take on it, so somber and fitting.
I teared up a little. Excellent work as always.
I didn't know Jim Steinman wrote songs for Bruce Springsteen
...the protomen mixed tapes ive made myself...
I've got one in my car, and a Walkman WM1 on my desk.
Finally, my tape deck in my car has use.
Just came in the mail today, dug out a cassette player..... it then ate the cassette.........
but isn't act 3 suposed to come out fall this year? They can't and would not release 2 albums so close?
"isn't act 3 supposed to come out fall this year?" Oh, to be young and innocent...

I don't have newer cars, so I do.
An interpreted point is that machines are taking over in the story, so when they're trying to repress the human race and they can't be trusted, we would turn to analog.
Silent Running in Two Thousand and Twenty One.
Lots of people. Who still has an NES laying around?
because if you mad anything but 10$ speakers or headphones youd realize youtube has shitty audio compression.
I've got one in my car, and a Walkman WM1 on my desk.
Because music from youtube is very low quality compared to cd and vinyl.
Yeah - that's the point I was making.
Because it's not the remixed version.
But why would you do that?
Why not just watch Breaking Out on youtube then.....
not a mix tape, but sure
The queen cover album was it, perhaps?

Why the fuck did you comment this so many fucking times? I can't scroll an inch down without seeing this goddamn comment. It doesnt even make any sense
hahahaha nice
wait...what?
Because sometimes you want to listen to a song. I love the entirety of Protomen's Act II, but sometimes I skip ahead to The Hounds because I want to listen to The Hounds.
You skip literally the most important song in Father of Death tho...
...but the hounds
If you want to skip ahead to Breaking Out: 1:50
