It was 1995, I had already acquired my trusty Alesis SR-16 "Dr No" but not hooked it up in stereo yet on my 4-track cassette recorder.

This track is one of the more fun I made in those days, thought I'd share it here. For the occasion, I properly mixed and mastered it in such a way to keep it's original character intact as much as possible. I did put *some* fancy effect to stereoize the vocals a little, and there is a subtle stereo reverb on the drums.. Things like that, but that's just to make it palatable for the modern crowd. This is after all an original recording, no edits, no overdubs.

Thinking about putting an entire 'legacies' album together. Would anyone be interested in that?

The very mature lyrics:

Salvation song
Connect me if I'm wrong
Me I am cracked, broken and torn
Haven't been clean ever since I was born

But I don't bear much pain
I'm not gonna jump no train
Every single hour every single day
Guess life is just a game

Some say I am insane
Some say I am just the same
As all them youth rebel rabble rebel rabble
Well I know better but you won't hear me tell
Everyone lives his own little hell
Let them turn around in their own smell
I let them feel bad if they let me feel well
It be alright with me

I know I only live to be
I know this is all you can see
I live to be just like the trees
And the flowers and the bees

Some say I am insane
Some say I am just the same
As all them you rebel rabble rebel rabble
Let live through their own hell
Let them live with their own smell

Salvation

Salvation song
Connect me if I'm wrong
Me I am cracked broken and torn
Haven't been clean ever since I was born

Some say salvation
Everyone, everyone...
Rebel rabble rebel rabble
Loser! Loser!

LYRICS:
In the cool of the Arizona morning
There are no words to say
The sun lights up
The eastern sky
At the dawn…….
Of a brand new day

The tumbleweed is turning
Looking to put down some roots
Maybe it’s just my calling
To have dust ……
All over my boots 

I don’t see all there is to see
I don’t hear all there is to hear
There’s light and there’s shade and something in-between
And the distance …………drawing near

I’ve got dust all over my boots
I’ve got dust all over my boots
I’ve got dust all over my boots
I’ve got dust  …………. all over my boots

The slow and steady beat
Of these hooves upon the ground
Horse and rider as one
And at peace ………
With that sound

I don’t see all there is to see
I don’t hear all there is to hear
There’s light and there’s shade and something in-between
And the distance …………drawing near 

I’ve got dust all over my boots
I’ve got dust all over my boots
I’ve got dust all over my boots
I’ve got dust  …………. all over my boots

Dust All Over My Boots

This is the soundtrack of my first video. Soon you can see it in Youtube
Beautiful locations at the swiss Alps and Lakes. 
You would love it!

Queen of Spades

Cursed Moon

Blue Dream

In so Deep 

I'm carryin' weight – beast of burden streets of Ankara
My feet they hurt – my saddle gonna wrench apart
My hunger never stops – the wave it never crests
I’m drowning in consequence

I’m in so deep – and I won’t let you down a bit
It’s history – I made you all these promises
Our worlds depart – the continents divide
I’m in so deep – I can look you in the eye

Haven’t felt a falter – never told you a lie
Is it in the realm – that the others will survive
When I see you in the door – I’m clutching a sea wall
In the Bosphorous

Long ago – she had my full devotion
I changed her name – like Constantinople
I felt the streets go dead
All the hawkers they had fled - Into armament

Behind a curtain – breathing incense and a huffin’ pipe
Mural on the wall – the mountains of Anatolia
If I have to pick and choose
I can’t crawl away from you - You’re in my heart

I’m in so deep – and I won’t let you down a bit
It’s history – I made you all these promises
Our world’s depart – the continents divide
I’m in so deep – I can look you in the eye

IN SO DEEP

Engagement Day - Music by REKHA - IYERN [Fe] | Live Synth Improv JAM | Electro Medieval Dance Pop

The engagement is on! A continuation piece following A Royal Affair here: 

https://soundcloud.com/rekha-iyern-fe/a-royal-affair-by-rekha-iyern-fe-live-synth-instrumental! 

Hope you all enjoy this celebratory dance track to rejoice with the royal couple's decision to move on forward with the matters of, affectionately yours! The green light shines brightly for them and all ties-related, to tie the marriage knot yes, it's the big yes everyone has been eagerly awaiting! But first the engagement is on followed by the actual wedding day, a marriage made in the cosmic heavens. A life-time of togetherness is on it's way! How massively exciting is that? The reigning royal couple dazzles all who have eyes on them! The noble king and queen are ready to rule their kingdom, their people, to set the big bright future!

I simply wanted to give off an impression that if one were to travel to another space and time dimension, one might see this Queen along with other foreign space beings..however, what makes them unique, is that they can morph according to your fantasty-out-of-this-world-like-infinite-desires...Of course they do come to life just to please you with a dance or simply a fine vision...in some cases, they can even make you feel!

Star Part Two

-----------Dropping Name------

Chorus---
Am I here or there
am I far or near
your signals aren’t coming through clear…
——just call me
just call me
and you know i’ll be there

aint playing no games—full on flames
I refer to myself when I start dropping names
IPG1—Lou—Level One Up
It can’t get no better he’s the cream of the crop
That’s word to the letter

Stop pop and lock can’t hide from the vibe
come along for the ride let me be your guide

Is it—— The pen that I write with 
the ways that the rhymes hits ——
the headphones and lyrics 
Or cadres I flow with —- 
it’s now time to drop this 
On —the mic it’s a tight grip ——
that kick drum—-that won’t quit 
the sounds that I mix with ——-
let’s get it —-a tight fit
I ——listen and edit ——
then—- Blend and produce this
Ignite the track gets———lit—— 
Stand back as I rock this
aha -aha ——-awe shit

I bring fire to the game
Ignition to the flames
IPG1's the name----
That's Always been my aim
It's a scorcher-------so I gotta --heat it up
Im the author ---Gimme music nonstop
I flow hot ---------better make it HipHop
Off the top--- 
just like a volcano
Spreading fast---------
so ----you know ---like I know
-----Can't stop it ------it's a Raging  inferno
-------Blazing-------sweltering-------heating up--here we go
get engulfed ---there's no where to can hide bro
Just bob your head --the tracks on full auto
Fire storming— you should just call me Pyro

I Rock the beats——to make you move your feet 
the beat plus the rap style equal technique 
technique technique technique I’ll deliver 
style so cool I’m about to make you shiver

I Rock the beats—I Rock the beats—
I Rock the beats—I Rock the beats—

Chorus-----

I am the original concept the roots of it all
most started off big I started out small
Resistance is futile I can’t be contained 
try to keep me down you must be insane 
oh—-now I’m about to go viral 
like a full-blown tornado in an upward spiral 
keep growing with the music as if digitally installed 
my next upgrade will be a wake up call 

I Rock the beats—I Rock the beats—
I Rock the beats—I Rock the beats—
