An old track, recorded in the beginning of the nineties, singing one of my father's many poems.

Este estranho poder, de que disponho,
de em imaginação vencer o espaço
e mergulhar no tempo, é como um braço
que me pusesse apenas onde me sonho.
Ele me leva atrás, depõe adiante,
em pretéritos tempos e futuros,
cruzando mares, rompendo muros,
como se nada houvesse de distante.
Na penumbra da sala, onde sentado 
numa cadeira quedo, só eu sei
as vezes que parti, e quanto andei
perdido no futuro e no passado.

Estranho Poder

Hi there, this one isn’t one of our usual first-take/one-take recordings during a jam session; we did actually spend a bit of time on this one! It is a live take though, no overdubs, except for the synths that I added after.

Jim Sanders is on the drums, Charlie Villiers and Dave Toolan are on the guitars, I’m on the bass and singing (and I wrote it).

Look out for Charlie’s sublime solo 🤩 one of my personal favourites of his!

Lyrics

I already know
what you’re gonna say
what you’re gonna say

Maybe I’m afraid
I’m incapable
I’m incapable

Would we still be here
if the rain had stopped
if the rain had stopped

And of course this may not fly
but we’ll give it a shot
yes we’ll give it a shot

Everything in life,
if you add it up
if you add it up

It’s my faithful wife
and we are in love
yes we are in love
.      (🤩🎸)
Oh and how we dance
you don’t stand a chance
no you don’t stand a chance

Taken by surprise
you’ll get used to it
you’ll get used to it

And the longer that you leave it
the longer it will be to grow
And the harder that you push it
The harder it will be to know
And I told you not to hurry
Don’t make up you’re mind just yet
Cos how can you be certain
promises can be kept?

Everything In Life

"Jack and Pill," a track from Tommy Zygote's album Nursery Crimes, is a witty parody that fuses whimsical storytelling with sharp social commentary. As the founder of the underground collective Thrashing Zombies, Zygote uses satire to delve into themes where childhood innocence collides with the counterculture's darker aspects. This track invites listeners into a surreal journey, reflecting on key historical events, psychological experimentation, and the evolution of societal norms. At its heart, "Jack and Pill" revisits the classic nursery rhyme about Jack going up a hill, transforming his innocent adventure into a metaphor for the intense drug culture of the 1960s and 70s, heavily influenced by the CIA’s MK Ultra experiments. When Jack discovers a mysterious "wicked pill" at the top of the hill, we are drawn into a psychedelic narrative exploring the era's complex relationship with drugs and identity. The journey symbolizes Jack's encounter with a substance that offers a heightened state of consciousness, echoing the hallucinogenic experiences promoted by LSD. Zygote cleverly parallels Jack's curiosity to the CIA's infamous MK Ultra program, where mind control and the effects of psychedelics were tested often without participants' consent. As Jack embarks on his adventure, he experiences a euphoric high—lost in a whirlwind of sensations and thoughts, emblematic of the liberated spirit of the counterculture. The allure of the pill becomes a metaphor for the intoxicating escape offered by substances like ecstasy, which initially fostered communal joy but also spiraled into chaos and excess. The narrative gains depth with the introduction of Professor Cockington, a fictional representation of the scientists involved in such experimentation. He symbolizes the ethical ambiguities faced by those pushing the boundaries of knowledge and morality during this tumultuous era. In Zygote's portrayal, the professor's role serves as a warning about the consequences of unrestrained ambition, highlighting how explorations of the human psyche can yield both enlightenment and despair. Zygote’s lyrical prowess shines as he uses vivid imagery to encapsulate Jack's experiences while addressing the broader societal implications of drug culture. The upbeat yet haunting melody complements lyrics that oscillate between playful and dark, capturing the contradictions of the time. As Jack's journey climaxes, the track musically mirrors the highs and lows of drug experiences, critiquing the reliance on substances that promise transcendence but often lead to disillusionment. The concluding moments leave listeners questioning Jack's fate—did he find enlightenment, or is he trapped in a cycle of highs? This inquiry reflects society's ambivalence toward drug culture, probing whether innocence can survive amidst the complexities of adult life. "Jack and Pill" is more than a song; it is a cultural commentary that addresses the intersection between childhood naiveté and adult realities, challenging listeners to reconsider their perspectives on freedom and choice. Nursery Crimes not only parodies a familiar tale but also illuminates the intricate historical layers of drug experimentation and cultural transformation, prompting reflection on our past and present in a world influenced by the quest for consciousness.

"Adam Majdecki-Janicki's discography is nothing short of impressive - recording under a number of aliases (A.J. Kaufmann, Die Rote Erde), during past 10 years he released almost 30 albums, ranging from ambient and New Age through folk to noisey krautrock. 'Bavarian Gypsy' is a collection of songs recorded over the years, mixing electronics with voice and acoustic instruments. The overall DIY quality, the live feel, the reverb and the way his voice is treated bring to mind Animal Collective or Ariel Pink, with nods towards folk outskirts of New Weird America. British and US psychedelia is also present, as both early Pink Floyd and Jefferson Airplane also seem to be an inspiration. From catchy ('Hero on the Wing') to mildly confusing ('English Nude'), 'Bavarian Gypsy' during its 28 minutes offers quite a lot of twists and turns, surprises and small wonders delivered with passion by a truly singular artist."
