The United Earth Empire enjoys a period of peace.

Rotten schools 
Boring rules 
Blinded fools 
no wonder they’re morose 
Dusty flats, 
Tired, cats, hungry rats 
the day is drawing close.

A distant star dies a spectacular death
Burdened by its own unstable corpulent body
Pulled by gravity inward
Losing its physical shell
Exposed to all
A black hole
What’s the worst that could happen?

The lies you told
The choices you chose 
The day is drawing close
The lives you sold
Prizing weed over rose
The day is drawing close

Watching David’s Planet Blues
The beauty in the deep
You feel connected to the world you use
And take it to your sleep
But don’t make the leap

Too easy
To bury your head in sand

You’re alive and it’s great to feel the air
Do you care
What we do to everywhere?
You know the right thing
The wrong thing
Forget to bring
You’re little love passport 
Afraid that you’ll be caught
Caring

And the ones who fight to win
They reveal your guilt
And you hate them for that sin
Is that how you’re built?
It’s just spilt milk?

When the day comes for eternal rest
Will the earth take you back?
Will you make your peace with death 
Or will you spill all your cack?
Prove what you lack

Musik ist die beste Brücke, um uns Musiker zu verbinden, die wir sonst eher als Inseln in der Welt umherschippern. Diese EP hat mich mit meinen liebsten Mitmusikern zusammengebracht und ich freue mich, dass ihr das Ergebnis jetzt endlich hören könnt!

Music is the best bridge to connect us musicians, who we otherwise tend to drift around like islands. This EP brought me together with my favorite musicians and I'm happy to share the result with you!

104 Porto

J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- organ, electric piano, drums, synth sax, synth bass, composition and arrangement 

Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – guitar 

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– guitar, production, mix, and mastering 

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–ehru  

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – lap steel  

This ripe piece of funk started with JJ essentially composing it on the e. Piano, organ, drums, synth sax, ands synth bass. He had the Eclectic Collective in mind when he did so, though. 

JJ actually is playing his drum kit on this one, so funkily that we decided to keep his drums in there. That didn't leave a whole lot of room for Ken to get in on it, but he managed to add a really cool ehru part. The ehru is a two stringed Asian violin with a distinct high percussive sound. J

J's bass line was so well played and solid, we decided to keep it in there, too, which also left Josh searching for a place in the mix. He decided to go last with the lap slide to anchor the foundation of the blues idiom. But he did that after Stephen and Tez cast their spells on the song with their magical guitars. 

Tez can be heard with the trippy, delay-heavy staccato lines, and Stephen with the silky smooth crying blues lines throughout. 

  Of course, every great song needs a great mixer and producer, and we're lucky enough to have Stephen to do the honors on this one for us.

  This song represents The Eclectic Collective at our funky finest, and we always enjoy and appreciate when JJ starts a song for us. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it. 

  If you really dig it, and have read the whole way to the bottom, please consider sharing this, too. We all appreciate your ears and support.
