Never been to Birdland though I’m a big Charlie 'Yardbird' Parker fan. This track, however, is more about the Tweetie variety, they are such a delight, I love listening to their toons. If you have time, I urge you to watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdIoL2YLu7Y . Ghislaine is such a talent, her photos and videos just capture the magic.
  
I’m on my way to Birdland
That’s where I wanna be
Modern day living so unforgiving 
It’s not a place for me

You’re better off in Birdland
It’s so plain to see
Ask the crows coz they all know
Birdland’s the place to be

I just love their beaks
Their feets, their tweets
And they’re so reet petite
So why’re being so thoughtless
Turning up the heat
We’re the pest
Messing up the nest and…
You know the rest  
You know the rest
You know the rest 
  
You’re better off in Birdland
It’s so plain to see
Ask the crows coz they all know
Birdland’s the place to be
Birdland’s the place to be 
Birdland’s the place to be

lyrics:

oh the unquantifiable weight...
the undeniable... wait...
oh irrefutable beauty
of mathematical poetry...

one critical sum in my bed
infinite variables in my head
one critical sum in my bed
infinite variables in my head

soon = |x|
soon = |x|
soon = |x|
soon = |x|

there's no indifference
or uncertainty...
we both know what we want
(can you feel it?)
can you feel the urgency?

one critical sum in my bed
infinite variables in my head
one critical sum in my bed
infinite variables in my head

soon = |x|
soon = |x|
soon = |x|
soon = |x|

Soon

Anywhere out of the  World  - Dead can dance - cover

A laidback musical movement with 
an exploration of inversions thru the chords.

My sister and I wrote this rather jazzy track a few moons ago. Was recently remastered by my lovely Sander. We hope you enjoy this instrumental number full of gorgeous strings from my big sister Jane. 😊🎶❤️🎻

"After Exilio Transitorio and Exilio Transitorio (Instrumentals), this last offering concludes the Exilio Transitorio trilogy. The album features a stellar line-up of producers: Witnessing, Aphir, Animal Party, YlangYlang, Indistinct voices over PA, V.ictor, T. Gowdy, Strangerfamiliar and Woulg. They all shed a new light on the compositions for what makes a highly diverse, original and breathtaking listen that ranges from experimental, to beats, to club music."

viñu-vinu - Once de Septiembre feat. Julián Muro (IVOPA Remix)

Jim Bob was inspired by some timeless classic western films.

Orange Peels galloping drums and percussion loops with whip cracking seemed to suit the vocal edits.

Chris's Tarintino inspired guitar licks bring the mix together. Produced to have a unique Western House pulse to get you saddled up for a gallop on the dance floor.

Ganesha

This track is a collaboration with Synline (Tokyo) on.soundcloud.com/bzQWw

Synline shares ... I thought this song would be suitable for the opening of the album. When I asked SeaShea for guitar, he not only contributed his usual electric guitar but also created some tracks with synthesizers. The song, initially incomplete, reached its completion through his efforts. Collaboration has been a fulfilling experience.

did it take some time after 
even as they did play?
did it take some time after 
or was it all just a laughter?
did it not take you by surprise
how my world wells with tears?
just thinking about it 
how the mess begins, darling 
how the mess, the mess begins, darling 

only there in the night 
when it starts to fall 
only there in the night 
do I see my fault 
only there in the night 
incognito deal 
only there in the night 
deliberate deal 
only there in the night 
reaction is served 
only in serving the cause of all causes 
only in serving the cause
does the dust settle 

how long will it take me
only to feel for you?
