--------------------
This is a song that JJ created late one Saturday night on the piano, drums, bass, and guitar. He then presented it to the rest of the Eclectic Collective so we could do our thing with it. Josh replaced JJ's rough bass with his interpretation of the line as soon as Ken replaced the drums with his interpretation of the beat. Interestingly, Ravel's Bolero had a lot to do with the inspiration for the second part of the song. After the rhythm section was done, we turned it over to Stephen, who came up with some really subtle, yet much needed guitar lines. 

 We then turned it over to our relatively new collaborator, Mark, who came up with the lyrics and vocals. This is a lyrical and vocal songwriting debut for Mark, who was inspired by his very first listen to JJ's rough draft. Thus, this song is extra special for him.  

Mark's lyrics are about our Earthly relatives in the far distant future. At that point life on Earth will have just about reached its limits, and so mankind embarks on a journey through space to find another place to call home.

We all hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we did creating it.

LYRICS:
Part 1:
All you know, all you love is here today
Feel the sun, see the flowers embrace her rays
And you know, all we are must fade away
And now its time to go… 
away…

Part 2:
Here we are, flying high, flying high above the moons of Mars
And beyond another sunrise greets a world once again,
a million miles from where we are
To embrace the flowers of Jupiter, 
once again…

On and on we sail away, searching for another day,
the universe an endless sea
And you know that somewhere out there,
a brand new world, for you and me….

poem / copyright jo richter:

der schaukellack blättert
in rostbraunen schuppen
hier spielt kein kind
es sind nadeln im sand

so hochgrau die wand
als taumle tag blind
zwischen staubaugenpuppen
kein vorhangstoff flattert

hier, wo sich sinne nicht nähren
hier sei die anmut zu finden
hatte der seher verkündet

hier, wo güte still schwindet
hier, wo die augen erblinden
kehre sie ein um zu gebären

interlinear translation: fair faced // the veneer on the swings flakes off / in rusty brown scales / there is no child playing / there are needles in the sand // the wall rises high and grey / as though day stumbled blindly / among dusty-eyed puppets / no fabric moves in the windows // here, where senses don't feed / here you will find grace / the seer had prophesized // here, where kind hearts are fading / here, where eyes are blinded / here she'd come to give birth //

DEBTOR'S PAIN (H.Gee Remix)

half way fainting broke
stuck no way to change my role
leave to rot remaining rows
the weather beating raining blows

debtor’s prison still awaits
hunger pains will not abate
my last hope about to fail
suffer me my stomach aches and
pray to God my soul to take

have and owe negates them both
no milk remains in fainting goats
hold on tight restrain my soul
punished on the debtor’s pole

crop wrecking heavy rain
the lender’s plan stipulates
taken daughter left to rape
waiting on guerilla raids
and lord please stop this rain

worser still I’m nearly broke
about to swing from pauper’s rope
no quota for the yearly growth
small fortune that I clearly owe

tested that I’m pretty tough
all I own is brought to city dump
last pennies and I’m silly drunk
lift my face and I’m squinting up
God take me to a better place

debtors pain 
debtors pain
pain in my budget and
forced out of my lane

EMERALD SEA

A distinctive piece from the Ballroom Records archive, “Starstruck” by Purple Kaiser is featured on TEN: The Archive Series, Pt. 4 — a curated collection exploring the label’s most atmospheric and genre-defying Electronica.

TEN: The Archive Series, Pt. 4

Starstruck

This is the sound of celestial journeys and starlit dance floors. Deep Space Melodic House is a subgenre that transcends traditional house music, blending its hypnotic rhythms with the vast, ethereal atmosphere of the cosmos.

Imagine a journey through the dark, silent void between galaxies. This music is the soundtrack. It's built on a foundation of warm, deep kicks and subtle percussive grooves, but the focus is on the breathtaking, emotional landscape created by the synths. Expect lush, atmospheric pads that swell and fade like nebulae, and arpeggiated melodies that shimmer and loop, mimicking the distant twinkle of a thousand stars.

The energy here is not for the club's peak hour but for its most transcendent moments—when the lights are low, the smoke machine is on full blast, and everyone is moving as one. It's a sonic exploration that is both introspective and expansive, perfect for getting lost in the music and the infinite possibilities it suggests.
