Steven Wilson - Abandoner

ABANDONER.

The other half is somewhere else.
A play in the dark,
Whines like dogs.

I am restless, I am lost.
Time freezes all. Flawless eyes.

Your rope you used to tie yourself,
dreams into planes, scatter remains.

I reach for you, denied your touch.
Snow starts to blind, I confide.

Porcupine Tree - Prodigal

PRODIGAL.

I don't know whose side I'm on
I don't think that I belong round here
If I left the stage would that be wrong?

I tried to find myself a better way
I got religion but I went astray
They took my money and I lost my faith

Rain keeps crawling down the glass
The good times never seem to last
Close your eyes and let the thought pass

I tried the capsule and I tried the smoke
I tried to aid escape like normal folk
But I never seemed to get the joke

These are my old clothes
This is a new low
This is my blood flow
This is my headstone

I spend my days with all my friends
They're the ones on who my life depends
I'm gonna miss them when the series ends

Rain keeps crawling down the glass
(Pull yourself together)
The good times never seem to last
(You know it's not so bad)
Close your eyes and let the thought pass
(Close your eyes and let it pass)

Radiohead - Paranoid Android

Joya dominguera...

Please could you stop the noise

I'm trying to get some rest
From all the unborn chicken voices in my head
What's that?
What's that?

When I am king, you will be first against the wall
With your opinion which is of no consequence at all
What's that?
What's that?

Ambition makes you look pretty ugly
Kicking, squealing Gucci little piggy
You don't remember
You don't remember
Why don't you remember my name?
Off with his head, man
Off with his head, man
Why don't you remember my name?
I guess he does

Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me
From a great height
From a great height, height
Rain down, rain down
Come on, rain down on me
From a great height
From a great height
Rain down, rain down (that's it, sir, you're leaving, the crackle of pigskin)
Come on rain down on me (the dust and the screaming, the yuppies networking)
From a great height (the panic, the vomit, the panic, the vomit)
God loves his childrean
God loves his children, yeah

 

 

Pink Floyd - Embryo

JOYITA DE 1970

All is love, is all I am
A ball is all I am
I'm so new compared to you
And I am very small

Warm glow, moon bloom
Always need a little more room
Waiting here seems like years
Never seen the light of day

All around I hear strange sounds
Come gurgling in my ear
Red the light and dark the night
I feel my dawn is near

Warm glow, moon bloom
Always need a little more room
Whisper low, here I go
I will see the sunshine show

Lady Lake - No Pictures - Symphonic Progressive Rock - 1977

Lady Lake, from The Netherlands, present a pastoral, melodic, yet complex progressive rock album. Acoustic guitar is the backbone to their sound, and recalls early Genesis around Selling England By The Pound. This ostensible light background is offset by plenty of psychedelic guitar sequences, which are quite striking in this setting. Moog and Fender Rhodes play a major role as well. Vocals are fortunately sparse and ultimately unnecessary. The music never sits still too long, always on the move, while surprisingly being able to maintain its melodic core. My vote for best track would be 'Fading Trees' though 'Magic Twanger' is a close second. Mirage era Camel is probably the most obvious influence overall. More obscure references would include Hoelderlin (Clowns and Clouds), M.L. Bongers Project, and Ivory.



As mentioned below, the CD also contains newly recorded material from 1997 that was originally composed from 1979-1982. Not surprisingly, the music has a similar compositional quality to the original No Pictures album. Of course, the guitar here is more "90s pig squeal" and less "70s psychedelic" which is a pity. The aural landscape is more broad brush, with less finely pointed detail. But still a fine effort, and shows the band hasn't lost touch with their ambitious progressive background. Camel clearly remains their main influence on these tracks. From here, they were to continue and actually improve on their next proper release Supercleandreammachine (2005).


The CD (the second cover photo) is outstanding. It features wonderful sound, a complete history of the band with unique photos and insights. Perhaps even better, the CD contains a completely new album's worth of material recorded in 1997, and could easily be considered two albums on one CD. Musiphyle is a sub-label of none other than Musea. Not sure why the different designation, though it may have something to do with the new album being included with the reissue.

Galaxy-Visions-1978-KrautRock

Galaxy from Bremen were not rediscovered until the late 1990s and are relatively unknown among collectors, which is no surprise as their only LP 'Visions' of 1978 (SST / PR 020978) had a circulation of only 500 copies. Even during their 'lifetime' they led a lonely wallflower existence in their hometown with just about 10 to 15 gigs. This is totally unjustified as their record is more than just good and sheer pleasure for the listener, except for the rather silly 'Consequences'. Certain Hawkwind quotations and a touch of art rock are the ingredients of a harmonious achievement. The lyrics are mostly taken from the world of science fiction, which explains the name of the band, the LP title and the cover artwork, a sort of alienated Milky Way. The fact that a band from Oberursel (LP / CD: 'Nature's clear well') has the same name, is purely co-incidental. 

Members:
*Thomas Asche - Bass
*Bernd Steinhardt - Vocals, Guitar, Percussion
*Heiko Beck - Drums, Percussion

The Black Noodle Project – Divided We Fall - 2017

The music here is post-prog, according to the band, but I would label it more as post-rock with some Floydian elements. It is quite emotional and climatic, almost to a fault, though.  

Soaring, elongated guitars are the primary means of communication here, along with some great drumming and atmospheric keys.

The album is rather spacey at times, and driving and purposeful in others.

So, the performances are great, and the sound is solid.  However, I find that this album lacks some of the depth and personality of the last release, unfortunately.  

Every song seems to climax the same way, giving a monotonous feeling throughout the album.  

The instrumentals are well composed and performed, but nothing all that exciting happens, outside of a few moments here and there.  Some of the tracks seem rather disposable completely.

Mirage – It’s Been A Pleasure - Progressive Jazz Rock - 2017

Fresh experimental rock and neo-soul vibes fused with modern prog, jazz, and a dose of electronic chaos.

At once aurally expansive, visually seductive, and cleverly compelling, “It’s Been A Pleasure” fuses together experimental rock and fresh neo-soul vibes with modern prog, jazz, and a dose of electronic chaos, yielding an impressive debut album from Mirage. 
 
Based out of Gainesville, Florida, Mirage formed in late 2016 and have been quickly captivating audiences with an extremely high-energy live show, seamlessly winding between bright, powerful melodies and dark, menacing grooves. The synergy found from each members’ influence on Mirage’s sound is a true testament to Gainesville’s beautifully diverse musical ecosystem…

Palace Walls - Ligths At Sea

Sham Rain - AURA

:v

to hear a thousand screams
to drown inside my dreams
everytime i close my eyes
i see your shape within

to find and lose again
to stray in the dark
to let my heart explode
I can't let go

shades of blue
swallowed you
now i am sinking as you were
my voice was mute
as i called you
you left my heart empty

to touch the clouds
to feel warmth again
your aura still paints
the sky and unveils
your beauty

shades of blue
swallowed you
now i am sinking as you were
my voice was mute
as i called you
you left my heart empty

The Stills - Gender Bombs - 2003

Brains on a brick wall
When gender bombs they fall
The sordid way her loaded phrases infiltrate your skull

The images are strong
Impulses are strong
And logic will break your heart forever
Be brave

Massive suicide dreams
The feel warm and long
The girl will school you
The girl will...

Could this be the gaining force
Of ten loves in a row
Drunken sunday evenings
Will just be innuendos

Massive suicide dreams
That feel warm and long
The girl will school you
The girl will school you
The girl will screw you
The girl will screw you
The girl will school you
The girl will screw you
The girl will screw you
The girl will screw you

The Steve Hackett - The Chamber Of 32 Doors

At the top of the stairs,
There's hundreds of people,
Running around to all the doors.
They try to find, find themselves an audience;
Their deductions need applause.

The rich man stands in front of me,
The poor man behind my back.
They believe they can control the game,
But the juggler holds another pack.

I need someone to believe in, someone to trust.
I need someone to believe in, someone to trust.

I'd rather trust a countryman than a townman,
You can judge by his eyes,
Take a look if you can,
He'll smile through his guard,
Survival trains hard.
I'd rather trust a man who
Works with his hands,
He looks at you once,
You know he understands,
Don't need any shield,
When you're out in the field.

But down here,
I'm so alone with my fear,
With everything that I hear.
And every single door, that I've walked through
Brings me back, back here again,
I've got to find my own way.

The priest and the magician,
Singing all the chants that they have ever heard;
And they're all calling out my name,
Even academics, searching printed word.
My father to the left of me,
My mother to the right,
Like everyone else they're pointing,
But nowhere feels quite right.
And I need someone to believe in, someone to trust
I need someone to believe in, someone to trust.

I'd rather trust a man who doesn't shout what he's found,
There's no need to sell if
You're homeward bound.
If I choose a side,
He won't take me for a ride.

Back inside
This chamber of so many doors,
I've nowhere, nowhere to hide.
I'd give you all of my dreams, if you'd help me,
Find a door
That doesn't lead me back again take me away.

Drakkar Nowhere – Drakkar Nowhere

When Drakkar Nowhere rows itself out toward the exploratory sonic sea upon which their debut album so gracefully sails, it’s not just that their destination is undefined; it’s that the very concept of a destination, as reflected in their music, is itself something indefinable. Drakkar Nowhere capture the wind in their sails with a sound that’s boundless, expansive and, perhaps, guided only by the light of the sun and stars.
 
That Drakkar Nowhere ended up somewhere at all is itself more a result of circumstance than careful course-charting. The history of the album traces back to the summer of 2012, when Daniel Collás (Phenomenal Handclap Band) and Morgan Phalen (Favored Nations, Diamond Nights) found themselves creating new music in the kitchen of a rented apartment in Stockholm, Sweden. Their new project caught the ears of nearby musicians, including members of Dungen and The Amazing, and before long, this extended family of international musicians were recording the songs that would firmly put them on the path to nowhere – Drakkar Nowhere, that is. 

Both Collás and Phalen took inspiration from their Swedish surroundings – in particular, the enchanted forests that surround the neighborhoods of Bagarmossen and Midsommarkransen. And given the talents and histories of the collaborating musicians, it’s no surprise that the ever-evolving shadow of what we might broadly call Swedish psychedelia should perfume the proceedings as well. Collás and Phelan also took the recordings to New York and Los Angeles, where new surroundings and influences could intertwine into the musical flora and fauna. When in LA, the band even got a hero of theirs, unsung 70s singer-songwriter Ned Doheny, on board for “Higher Now.” Some light was recently shed on Doheny’s music from the 70s when Numero Group released the Doheny compilation Separate Oceans a couple years back. To those who have discovered his fantastic body of work, his warm, breezy Malibu vocals are instantly recognizable on “Higher Now.”

One thing is surprising – and what makes the Drakkar Nowhere album one that benefits from repeat listens – is how unobtrusive all of these influences are on the album’s ultimate sound. Drakkar Nowhere present a combination of influences – cosmic jazz, syrupy soul and mutated prog among them – in such an effortless manner that they don’t really feel like “influences” at all. As a result, Drakkar Nowhere have built an album that may have listeners ears recalling the crystalline harmonies of the Brothers Gibb more often than it does Träd, Gräs and Stenar.
 
No destination, no influences – just nowhere. And in the hands of Drakkar Nowhere, it’s clearly the place to be. – Ryan Muldoon.
