Of All The Beautiful Faces

noxpox - swoosh

I’ve made this moon,
my new world once removed
Lying here under this dome,
in my character-building home

It’s pretty hard to sleep,
with people flinging their rocks at me
well I don’t think it’s really that safe,
with something that so easily breaks

We’re so far away
The green is what you miss the most,
and vegemite toast,
and water and air I suppose

It’s pretty hard to sleep,
with people flinging their rocks at me
well I don’t think it’s really that safe,
with something that so easily breaks

We’ve got our weapons
Don’t really know how to use them
I think the central idea my love is, 

expose their skin to space

Then watch for the look on their face
When their eyes go that way,
you know that it’s their last day

and you know we’re safe
nowhere’s safe

for at least a few more days,
and you know for sure we’re safe
nowhere’s safe

for at least a few more hours,
and you know that we’re safe

-

I’ve been meaning to say to you,
the life support,
well we must have broke it

This whole damn trip has been,
just one thing after another,
after another,
after another

Sparkling River 
So Deep and So Far Down
How'd  I end-up Here
In this RiverTown

Can't go back – Can't turn around

I'm Gonna Crack that Surface
All Around 
It'll Make a Pretty Picture
When you're Looking Down

Deadly River
So Cold and So Far Down
I Lost my Way
Up in this RiverTown

Can't go back – Just one way out

I'm Gonna Crack that Surface
All Around 
It'll Make a Pretty Picture
When you're Looking Down

Sparkling River - Deadly River
Can't turn around

Sparkling River - Deadly River
I'm Sorry but there's Only One Way Out

Cool For The Whoop

Through a long winter - Una lunga storia

Kerma was built in 2500 BC and resisted the Egyptians for a millennium. Today, an uninformed eye has trouble finding the traces of that time. We see only a ruin of sand-colored, unfired bricks: the deffufa, the former place of worship. The ground around it still suggests the foundations of houses.

A thousand years after its beginnings, the kingdom of Kush had grown so large that it stretched between the second and fourth cataracts of the Nile, more than 700 kilometers. Trade flourished because gold, ivory and ebony had to take this route on their way from the interior of Africa to Egypt. For the pharaohs of the 18th Dynasty, the rulers on the southern border of their empire became too powerful. Around 1550 B.C. Thutmosis I and Thutmosis II advanced successively into the Upper Nubian Nile Valley. The fighting for Kerma lasted a long time, but by the end of the century the city had been conquered and destroyed. After the destruction of Kerma, the Egyptians occupied Upper Nubia until the fourth cataract of the Nile. Nobody knows what happened to the Nubian kings after that. Archaeologists lack any trace of them. But in Napata, below the fourth cataract, they reappear. The new capital of the Kush Empire lay not far from the Nile and was a crossroads of trade routes. In front of its gates loomed the Chebel Barkal.

The Nubians regarded the plateau as the seat of the god Amun, the god of kings, whom the Egyptians also worshipped. The Chebel Barkal has some requirements. You have to climb it early in the morning or an hour before sunset, otherwise you will perish from heat during the ascent. To the east, a 75-meter-high rocky needle stands out. Its peak has contributed a lot to the legends surrounding the mountain. For the ancient rulers saw in it a uraeus, a cobra. And the snake was the totem animal of the pharaohs.

(Best experienced through earphones) a Stolen Glow are an outfit from Co. Wexford, Ireland. The group consists of James Murphy - 'Byrdz' [pronounced 'Birds'] (E.S.S. & One For Sorrow), and Alan Davis (E.S.S.) As a studio band the pair worked on a Stolen Glow for over ten years, with James, carefully crafting a blend of home-made rock music, and Alan, carefully focusing on some music, but then cutting his teeth on video animation. Two E.P.'s emerged 2016's 'Just Far Enough Away' and 2019's 'Rough Mixes'. The outfit's  album 'Ten Track Recorder' saw the light of day in 2020, and then the mainly (drop D based guitar tuned) 12 track album '11 Items' was released in the year 2022. (Both of these albums can be found on this page.)  Also, there's a handmade animated music video courtesy of Alan, for their track 'In Space', which can be found here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohCHSqfdM-U  - And the pair returned to a tried and tested method that they developed in E.S.S. on their track 'This Day' of Alan supplying lyrics and James doing the rest... The video for that song is here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZ5EfuB-XDg - Thanks for listening and viewing everyone! Have fun! We hope you find something that tickles your fancy.  - Byrdz & Alan x Enjoy. https://www.instagram.com/jamesmurphybyrdz/ https://www.instagram.com/alan_j_davis/ If your looking for more recordings...
