Highway Mirages

VERSE 1
I move through the twilight hum, while the city drifts in dreams.
My rhythm threads the hidden arcs where old quiet softens things.
Echoes rise around my steps and guide my glow toward the moon.
I walk the seams between my lives and settle into tune.

PRE-CHORUS 1
Mystery trails behind my stride and opens what will come.
Past and future speak as one—my pulse unites their hum.

CHORUS
I flow like a wave through the moving tide, deeper than the shifting sight.
Stars lean close and trace my path, circling slowly through the night.
I rise like a wave through the OmniBlend, where embers learn to unfold.
Every hidden chapter wakes, where the new entwines the old.


---

VERSE 2
Her stride moves fire through the ground; it reaches straight to me.
Roots from distant stories meet and merge inside my stream.
Island memory shapes my core; bright visions slip through dream.
I cross the layered corridors with light inside my beam.

PRE-CHORUS 2
Ancient courage meets my now and steadies both my feet.
Every step becomes a vow that nothing can defeat.

CHORUS
I dance like a wave on the open sea, rising clean through silver haze.
Joy lifts high in every turn as night hands dawn its rays.
I live like a wave where the timelines braid, past and future intertwine.
Every motion I release turns luminous—reshapes the grand design.


---

BRIDGE
Glitch-bright pulses cross my path; new rhythm shares its reign.
Elders whisper from beyond; tomorrow calls my name.
The OmniBlend hums softly, rolling steady through the night.
Every echo opens roads that guide me into light.


---

OUTRO
I float between the layered worlds with a cadence in my veins.
Inside the wave of the OmniBlend, I step free of every chain.

FINAL TAG
Waves within the OmniBlend rise—then rise again.
Waves within the OmniBlend lift every soul to ascend.


BRIDGE
Clouds may steal half of the sky, yet sun still rises high.
I release the need to win and find the peace within.
Yesterday no longer steers; today rewrites the years.
I lift my laughing face and meet my quiet grace.

FINAL CHORUS
I let go, let go—
and the world keeps moving with me.
When I loosen every hold,
greater wonders rise within me.
I glow here, right now,
with an open, steady mind.
I give love with every step,
and that love returns in kind

In 2006, the musical landscape was very different; there was no streaming, “shazam" was a word used by magicians, and "all-access” was not granted to the general public. Social media, as we know it, was in its infancy and today’s constant digital feed of interruptions, notifications, refreshes and “likes” didn't yet exist. Those with a thirst for the overlooked regions of the record store had to quench themselves in the climes of the online world's music blogs, and while that digital community was surely expanding, NYC’s www.lovefingers.org was something different. Not a blog but a daily unfolding mix — no opinions, reviews, or backstories were coupled with the music, no full albums or submissions from the outside — it was a mysterious watering hole in the burgeoning digital desert where rogue tracks from Wally Badarou rubbed shoulders with those of Holger Czukay, the drama of Sylvester juxtaposed with the quirkiness of Hosono, and countless other coveted artists’ unearthed gems melted in one pot, a digital space where $1 thrift store scores could easily breathe the same dusty air as cosmic holy grails, oddball psychedelics and proto-electronica b-sides comfortably cohabited with $300 private-press folk rarities. With 1 track per day, Andrew “Lovefingers” Hogge created a truly democratic and educated selection of music for our aural pleasure, and labelled them ‘Fingertracks' (numbered 001-999).

The community around Lovefingers’ site was a call-to-action, gathering analogous minds and inviting them all to the same party, and on New Years Day 2010, after 999 Fingertracks and a plethora of (now classic) mixes, the site made a final post stating, “That's all folks!” The collective energy pivoted into the ESP Institute, a record label and art platform to champion new artists who emerged from this foundational community and as a catalyst to push the musical dialogue forward. Now, as the ESP Institute approaches its 10-year anniversary, we revisit the significant role www.lovefingers.org played in shaping where we are today.

'Fingertracks Vol : 1' is a snapshot of aural delights that were on offer to those of the leftfield persuasion, all who discovered the site and tuned-in for their daily shot of sonics proper — a lovingly selected handful of records that re-introduce the story of Andrew’s most influential and essential music resource. The track list is classic Lovefingers, an insight into the free-flowing nature of the daily Fingertracks, context-free but connected through creative threads and energies — lo-fi loner jams brush up alongside sleazed-out Italo powerhouses, Greek new age obscurities tussle against overlooked Hawkwind-related cuts — nuggets that may be more known to the heads now, but whose initial excavation can be accredited to Lovefingers’ site, and are essential to its story nonetheless. Rumor has it that this is merely the first volume in a series, so as it turns out, and gladly so, “That’s not all folks!”
