i: The Conception
BIRTH MOTHER:
I went in with good intentions
To start a family
Your dad had to go so far away
He couldn't be with me

And since I believe in right-to-life
I put this into play
Surrogates to lead you to
The fate of the ghost train
Ghost train haze

2:25
ii: The Reception
THE SON:
Right from the conception
The cycle of a karmic stage
Right from the reception
Ridin' on a ghost train haze

They put me in their culture
To mold me to their ways
My reality for the future is
Trippin' on a ghost train haze, yeah

3:00
iii: The Deception
ADOPTED MOTHER:
I didn’t want you to find out
Your namesakes’ fate in life
I wanted you to be like us
I even chose your wife

When you found out the deep dark secret
A psychotic karmic phase
I had no choice but to shut you out
It's the fate of the ghost train
Ghost train haze

4:30
iv. The Redemption
BIRTH MOTHER:
My spirit has been with you
On the shade; in Christmas songs
It was very hard for you
Not feeling you belonged

I led you back to where you're from
To see how we were raised
And we welcome you with open arms
The last stop on the ghost train
Ghost train haze

Thank you for checking out this Highlight reel of Eclectic Collective's greatest moments in the year 2023. JJ made this compilation of a bunch of our music from the past almost year. He asked us to ask a question and then answer it. Jeff kinda disregarded our questions and asked his own. So, the answers don't really match up. We thought that gives it a bit of a Spinal Tap effect. But we are all talking about things relevant to the music and the group. So, if you want to hear from us directly, this is the place to do it. The Eclectic Collective is a band of musicians who collaborate over the internet and communicate via email.
Not interviewed in this piece, but a big thank you from all of us goes to Artur of Surfers Like Us, Steve of Steve's Planet, and Chris of @cgmaness fame for their contributions to the group in 2023! Also a huge shout out to The Mysterious Decibel for adding all the great vocals our songs need.

NOVA-XIV is a 15-track cosmic journey by SphereVibrant — blending lo-fi, ambient, downtempo, and electronic textures into soundscapes that feel infinite. Each track is inspired by a planet, moon, or star, reimagined as music for study, focus, meditation, and late-night drifting.

NOVA-XIV isn’t just background music — it’s a soundtrack for traveling through galaxies, both real and imagined.

🚀 Your soundtrack to infinity.

relaxed track kinda reminds me of glass candy from the early 00's

I create music that stimulates and motivates. Let the energy it provides transport you to where your imagination sees fit. Enjoy the sounds.
