Fast And Good Stuff - Rock and Something Else

Once Upon a Time

Ending the Boredom

Trust in Lust

X
Music by Overdrive & Smilex
Master by Chris Schlue

This is my reinterpretation/remix of the song X by the awesome English band Smilex. The initial plan was to produce something industrial/cyberpunk, but I was seduced by the idea of making a rockabilly version of X, with hints of punk rock.

Huge thanks to Lee (lead singer), who kindly offered me the invitation to do a remix of the song -- he's probably regretting it by now, but it's too late, man. 😄

Boasting an ear splitting career spanning over a decade, Smilex are the band who have done it all. Several releases on Quickfix Recordings (who discovered Youthmovies) and spots on various compilations & singles clubs, including a split ep with The Young Knives & a collaboration with MC Lars, have made Smilex a band renowned within their native Oxford. Explosive live shows – betraying a tendency for reckless self-endangerment coupled with a drive to put the audience's experience above all else – have led local music bible Nightshift to dub Smilex “Oxford's one band Riot”. Infamous live antics have caught the eyes and ears of musical types across the country, earning them the title of Playmusic's “best unsigned live act of 2010”, whilst securing slots playing beneath (and raising the bar for) the likes of The Damned, The Datsuns, and The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster.

I recommend checking out Smilex's great tracks on their Soundcloud page:

This remastered album is the musical journey accompanying the harrowing events of Book 3 of "Hinter uns das Land" ("Behind Us The Land"), a poignant novel by Frank Talmon l'Armée. As the war closes in, the Feyerabend family, along with countless others, is forced to make the heart-wrenching decision to flee their beloved home in East Prussia. This collection of 16 tracks captures the emotional turmoil and the perilous journey that unfolds, painting a vivid sonic picture of a family caught in the midst of historical upheaval.

Book 3 plunges the listener into the chaos and fear of the final days of the war in East Prussia. The once-familiar streets of Danzig (now Gdańsk) become a haunting labyrinth of desperation and uncertainty as Inge and her family navigate the treacherous path to the harbor. The music reflects the growing tension, the ever-present threat, and the agonizing choices forced upon those seeking refuge. You will sense in the music the desperation of many refugees, but also their determination to survive.

The journey culminates in the boarding of the "Lappland," a vessel overflowing with refugees, all carrying their own stories of loss and hope. As the ship embarks across the vast and unforgiving Baltic Sea, the music evokes the vastness of the ocean, the precariousness of their situation, and the uncertain future that awaits them. You can hear in the sounds the inner turmoil of the characters: the children who do not yet fully comprehend what is happening and the adults who try to hold on to hope in the face of unimaginable fear.

From haunting melodies that echo the emptiness of a lost home to surging orchestrations that mirror the turbulent sea, this soundtrack captures the full spectrum of human emotion in times of war. Moments of quiet reflection are interspersed with powerful, driving rhythms, reflecting the resilience and determination of those who refuse to give up hope, although they know their lives will never be the same.

This musical collection offers a unique and immersive experience, drawing the listener deeper into the world of "Hinter uns das Land." It's a testament to the enduring power of family, the unwavering human spirit, and the search for peace amidst the ravages of war.

Escape The Flames (LANDR remastered)

This song is about a guy who's fighting his VERBAL DEMONS, LOL! Every time he tries to be a perfect GENTLEMEN he just keeps putting his foot in his mouth. So, he keeps saying "BITCH, that's my EGO" as a way to apologize. This song is really CATCHY but very RISQUE! It's one of my favorites!!!!! XOXOXO! #THATSMYEGO!

THAT'S MY EGO | #REVELATIONMIXTAPE

I woke up this mornin', feeling kinda thin
Pranced to my bowl, let the feast begin!
But what do I see? A desert so bare
My bowl's got nothin' but dust and air!

I meowed, I pawed, I gave you the look
You're scrolling your phone, can't you read the cat book?
I'm a feline diva, I deserve my crown
Fill up my bowl before I tear this house down!

Empty bowl, empty bowl, my heart's in despair
Empty bowl, empty bowl, do you even care?
I'm a hungry little tiger, I'm losing my cool
Human, get your act together, I'm nobody's fool!

I tried to be patient, I really did try
But my stomach's growling, I think I might die!
I knocked over a vase, just to make a scene
You laughed at me? Oh, you're so mean!

I'm plotting revenge, I'll sit on your face
Or maybe I'll pounce on your pillowcase!
I'm a master of chaos, a purring machine
Fill up my bowl or I'll go full feline queen!

I see the bag, I hear the crinkle
My ears perk up, my eyes start to twinkle!
You're walking over, my tail's in the air
Finally, human, you're showing you care!

Fill it up, fill it up, make it overflow
I'll forgive you now, but you're still on thin snow!
Chicken or tuna, I don't really mind
Just keep it coming, or I'll lose my mind!

Empty bowl, empty bowl, no more despair
Full bowl, full bowl, now I'm purring with flair!
I'm a happy little tiger, I'm back on my throne
But human, remember, always, always fill my bowl!

Some Days

Orpheus' Lament

“My World Has Fallen” is a powerful, dancefloor-driven Drum & Bass anthem that blends raw emotion with cinematic intensity. Opening with haunting pads and ethereal vocals, the track builds a post-apocalyptic atmosphere, evoking the feeling of a world in ruins.

Epic vocal lines soar above rolling basslines and razor-sharp drums, creating a sense of both despair and defiance. The drops hit with punch and purpose, driving the energy forward while keeping the emotional core intact.

Perfect for peak-time sets, My World Has Fallen takes the listener on a journey through broken cities and lost hopes—only to rise again through rhythm, resilience, and sound

Album Title: After The Bat Was Freed ... But Before Metal Died

An Ozzy Requiem

Description:

This is more than an album. This is a requiem. A two-part rock opera epic exploring the complete life, legacy, and psychological journey of a rock and roll icon. Performed by the virtual progressive metal band Adelheide's Wisdom.

LP 1: "After The Bat Was Freed ... But Before Metal Died"
A nine-act narrative that chronicles the rise and reflection of a legend. The journey begins in the industrial haze of 1960s Birmingham, capturing the spark of a Beatles-inspired dream ("The Day The Bat Was Freed"). It crashes through the chaotic birth of a new sound ("Sounds Like a Bunch of Cats Fightin'"), explores the creation of the demonic "Madman" persona ("They Call Me The Madman"), and descends into the self-destructive excesses of the 80s ("Wings of Sin"). The album finds its emotional core in the heartbreaking ballad "I Was Just A Dreamer," before culminating in a final, monumental tribute to the man behind the myth ("Prince of Eternal Fire").

7. I Was Just a Dreamer

The turning point: The album's grand, emotional power ballad. This is the "morning after," the moment of catharsis and vulnerable reflection after all the excess. The loud facade of the "Madman" crumbles, revealing the heartbroken dreamer behind the mask.

Official Song Description: Adelheide's Wisdom – "I Was Just A Dreamer"
What remains when the spotlights fade and the myths begin to crack?

With "I Was Just A Dreamer," the virtual band Adelheide's Wisdom releases the first single and emotional centerpiece from their monumental concept album, "The Laughing Shadow: An Ozzy Requiem."

This epic power ballad is a profound and heartbreaking confession that looks behind the facade of the "Prince of Darkness." It tells a story of deep inner conflict – from the celebrated rock star on the world's biggest stage to the lonely "ghost at home," alienated from his own family and confronted with a lifetime of "scrambled eggs and mistakes."

Beginning with a fragile, intimate piano theme, the song unfolds into a massive, orchestral anthem. The haunting duet vocals of Adelheide and André guide the listener through a landscape of regret, pain, and the faint, almost lost hope for forgiveness.

"I Was Just A Dreamer" is more than just a song; it is the key to understanding the entire requiem. It is a meditation on the price of fame, the walls we build around ourselves, and the tragic search of a man trying to master the one role that always seemed out of reach: that of a father.

We all together worked day and night. As the Godfather of Metal was a musical role model and one of the first albums that our producer bought was 'Paranoid'.

Lyrics (by Frank Talmon l'Armée]

I Was Just a Dreamer

Spotlights burn my face, 
the crowds scream my name 
But it ain't my name, 
just a mask in the game. 
At home there are wrinkled hands and plates, 
Scrambled eggs and a life of mistakes.

Who's the mask, who's the face? 
Am I lost inside this place?

I'm a fading star with a burning heart, 
A joke to them, 
a ghost at home from the start. 
I'm screaming out but it falls apart...

All he ever wanted... was a father

Frozen clocks in an empty room, 
Maps lead nowhere, 
the compass a tomb.

But the wind still carries ancient tunes, 
Of brighter days and kinder moons.

And maybe tomorrow... 
The sun will break through... 

I was just a dreamer 
I dreamt my life anyway 
I was just a dreamer 
missing mostly better days

[Solo]

And the wind still carries ancient tunes, 
Of brighter days and kinder moons.

And maybe tomorrow... 
The sun will break through... 

I was just a dreamer 
I dreamt my life anyway 
I was just a dreamer 
missing mostly better days

They cheer for the beast... 
but my kids...

I Was Just a Dreamer

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
as my mind tells me
different things
my heart beats fast
then slow, it skips
I freeze

I'm hot, I'm cold
I'm fine, I'm not
I'm fire, I'm ice

burning with love
I retreat to an arctic heart

[Chorus]
I'm so confused
its the fear
i know 
its the fear

I'm so confused
its the fear
i know 
its the fear

with hearts cracked open
we bleed on each other
can we heal together
or do we both 
drown in the blood

I'm so confused
its the fear
i know 
its the fear

I'm so confused
its the fear
i know 
its the fear

is it a warning
or am i reinforcing
admonitions 

[Verse 2]
as my trauma 
comes to bare 
my heart breaks
I crash then blow, 
I hurt, I just
freeze

I'm hot, I'm cold
I'm fine, I'm not
I'm fire, I'm ice

burning with love
I retreat to an arctic heart

[Verse 3]
are my feelings valid
i don't know
am I afraid
afraid to be happy
afraid to be hurt
I don't know

[Chorus]
I'm so confused
its the fear
i know 
its the fear

I'm so confused
its the fear
i know 
its the fear

with hearts cracked open
we bleed on each other
can we heal together
or do we both 
drown in the blood

I'm so confused
its the fear
i know 
its the fear

I'm so confused
its the fear
i know 
its the fear

So Confused

[Verse 1]
Taking all my time on the last mile
Never looking back to the past while
No direction, learned my lesson, but I keep on falling
Back, relapse repeatedly
Break, me, down so easily 
I can’t take this pressure
I’m losing sight and letting go

[Pre-Chorus]
Tonight, we’re shots without a chaser
Lets gamble now and save our luck for later

[Chorus]
I’m losing all control again
Let’s throw out all our common sense
Jumping rope with razor wire
Take our chance playing with fire
Fuck it, I love it, I never want to change
Forget about the consequences, 
Tonight we’re all just young and reckless

[Verse 2]
She likes the party up in her nose, girl
She likes to dance but only on poles
So pours us both another cup,
We still have time until the sun comes up
Trouble, I love her
We meet from time to time
She says she’s got a boyfriend
But I’d rather cut the line

[Pre-Chorus]
Tonight, we’re shots without a chaser
Lets gamble now and save our luck for later

[Chorus]
I’m losing all control again
Let’s throw out all our common sense
Jumping rope with razor wire
Take our chance playing with fire
Fuck it, I love it, I never want to change
Forget about the consequences, 
Tonight we’re all just young and reckless

[Chorus]
We’re losing all control again
Let’s throw out all our common sense
Jumping rope with razor wire
Light the match, let’s play with fire
Fuck it, we love it, we’re never gonna change
No second thoughts, no second guesses
Tonight we all are young and reckless
