this chorus really has goosebump potential. shiver!

WOW! This is so awesome! So much Kate Bush vibe in this. When the vocal enters I thought it's Kate's missing track and I didn't pushed proper play button. I'm in love with this track! Gorgeous vocals and strings! Fantastic collab! Bravo to both of You!!!

What Do I Know

Morten made a string version of Meet Me At The Heart Nebula with a very different approach to the original. To me it has kind of a threatening urgency about it which fits with the state of this planet.  Returning back to the safety of the planet Earth after flying around in space. Question is - how long will it be safe? We wish for the music to make people reflect on the big issues.

HOW ABOUT HAVING A SUNNY DAY TODAY
CHASE THE MIST THE CLOUDS AND RAIN AWAY
FUCK THE NEWS THIS MEAN OLD BLUES
I’D RATHER USE MY GOOD OLD FLYING SHOES
BUTTERFLYING THOUGH MY MERRY DAY 

AND HOW IF PURPLE INSTEAD OF GRAY MATTER
THINGS MIGHT LOOK A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT WAY

A BRAND NEW MAN ON THE LOOSE
GOT MY CLUES MY HIKING SHOES  TODAY 
YESTERDAY IS JUST ANOTHER DAY


MOODY GRUMPY IS NO WAY TO START THE DAY
HAPPY HAPPY BABE WHAT DO YOU SAY
LOVE FOR LOVE AND PEACE FOR  
FEEL THE BREEZE MY DEAREST LADY PLEASE
AND LET’S MAKE TODAY A SUNNY DAY

WHATEVER THE WEATHER
WHATEVER THE WEATHER

The Sound of Abalero

No Hiding Place

dance of sounds

This is a song that JJ came up with on the electric piano and shared with the rest of us. He's done a significant portion of the songwriting for the Eclectic Collective, and always gives us quality songs, to which are easy to add our voices. When he sent it to us, he had a rough bass on there that sounded like Lust for Life. Ken came up with a killer and appropriate beat, which, if you can picture Lust For Life, included a lot of accentuated bass kicks. So, I took and went with that, and came up with a funky bass line. Ken and he kicked it back and forth a few times till they linked up. Then JJ added some funky ass organ and trippy retro synth to spice it up.
  Then it was time to send it to the guitarist. Tez laid down some smoking lead solos throughout, with his signature fiery guitar tone and amazing licks. Then Stephen funked it up even more with a fonky-ass wah guitar track.
  Ken produced and mixed this one for us, and what an excellent job he did, too. This was so much fun to create. We all hope you enjoy listening to our jam as much as we did playing it.

Lust Interrupted

Strange Love Light

The title of this track is a reference to the wartime term "no quarter", which also means "take no prisoners". The 'blood' red flag is often used as a symbol of this horrible practice and, in fact, it is considered a war crime to refuse to spare the life of anybody - i.e. to refuse quarter. The term "No Quarter" prompted me to research the meaning, which is where the concept for the song title came from.

In the original 1999 version of this tune, the only instrument was the echo-y electric piano sound, which was influenced heavily by the song "No Quarter" by Led Zeppelin. This is another tune I'd recommend listening to with headphones because of the heavy panning movement throughout. 

(special thanks to Chris [cgmaness] for the thoughtful perspective that reminded me of this incredible video, which speaks for itself. more like screams!  www.youtube.com/watch?v=9x7FGbW3IVc) 

Make music not war.

Red Flag

Dear friends,
Goodness must not tire because then evil wins!

They Wait

They are waiting for that tomorrow will be a brighter day
They wish that the daybreak shall be quiet - all days
These small kids are alone and they long for the day when their parents come
to bring them back to their home town
where all of them feel that they are safe

The situation has become worse than it ever has been
and we people in the world must react - all days
we must tell the world leaders that this is no way to rule the world
the future should change direction
to a brighter society for us all

As I understand there are only few
with minds that are distroying the life - on earth
are they filled up with hatred or is it a gread for power
it should not be so hard to change their minds
and thus they may enter paradise

They Wait

I appreciate all kinds of music and go largely by emotion and mood to select what I listen to. Deep melodic & progressive house soothes my soul and through listening to this genre a lot, I started putting some beats together myself! I enjoy the process very much and hopefully I am progressing by the track.

I love making a connection with nature, visual arts and music and often add nature sounds into my tracks. I also find myself listening to all the sounds in nature with a musical ear now.

I have connected with many talented and passionate musicians recently, many of whom also share similar connection with nature which I find so uplifting. It gives me hope for the humanity.
