Permanent Heart

FINALLY the time has come to re-release the first ever recordings by Belgian minimal synth masters Twilight Ritual. Released in 1982 in a tiny cassette edition this album has not been heard by many people. “The Ritual" includes some of their best work, from mysterious dark synthpopsongs (Elegy) to club music (Webb-men) and the epic 14-minute track (Up To Now).

Twilight Ritual was/is the main project by Geert Coppens and Peter Bonne. During the early eighties they were involved in many other bands including Autumn and Linear Movement (both re-released on Minimal Wave), but Twilight Ritual is by far the most inspired project. The spirit of the band lingers on beneath the work of Autumn through A Split Second and stands besides the best tracks of bands such as Oppenheimer Analysis and League Of Nations.

Twilight Ritual - Fading Me

They sterilized the angels and they put them on display
Gave us pretty little pills to smile the truth away
We're the product of the godless, in the church of the mundane
Washing down our sanity with novocaine and rain
Every screen's a stained-glass window, every headline is a prayer
Breathing in the atmosphere of manufactured air
I'm another empty specimen, a bug inside a jar
Just a smiling, dead celebrity… without the fancy car.

Oh, this beautiful sickness is divine
Drink the poison, baby, it tastes just like wine
Let the rot set in, it’s a glamourous decay
We will love you better when you’ve faded all away.

I cut myself on razor-wire fences made of fame
And learned to love the bleeding just to hear them scream my name
The freak show needs a new messiah, a martyr for the bored
I'm the hole inside of holy, I'm the devil they adored
You can paint my skin with diamonds, you can fill my head with lies
But I've seen the maggots crawling in your "perfect" paradise
This is the new religion, the sacrament of the numb
Bow your head and take your medicine until the kingdom comes.

Oh, this beautiful sickness is divine
Drink the poison, baby, it tastes just like wine
Let the rot set in, it’s a glamourous decay
We will love you better when you’ve faded all away.

I am the virus in the clean room.
I am the glitch in your design.
I am the scream in the operating theater…
AND THIS FLAW IS MINE!

OH, THIS BEAUTIFUL SICKNESS IS DIVINE!
DRINK THE POISON, BABY, IT TASTES JUST LIKE WINE!
LET THE ROT SET IN, IT’S A GLAMOUROUS DECAY
WE WILL LOVE YOU BETTER WHEN YOU’VE FADED ALL AWAY!

Faded away…
Pretty and faded…
Perfectly faded…
…gone.

Perfectly faded

its hard to say what genre songs are when soundcloud doesnt give all of them. 

[Verse]
The engines hum the world below fades
I’m weightless now in neon cascades
Colors swirl they blur they ignite
Chasing comets through the endless night

[Chorus]
Am I awake or am I dreaming
Planets spin their colors screaming
Stars explode like fireworks above
Is this a dream or cosmic love

[Verse 2]
Saturn’s rings they pull me in tight
Jupiter glows a carnival light
Venus whispers secrets I can't hold
A galaxy of wonders unfolds

[Prechorus]
Each breath feels like a melody
Each second bends reality

[Chorus]
Am I awake or am I dreaming
Planets spin their colors screaming
Stars explode like fireworks above
Is this a dream or cosmic love

[Bridge]
I see a nova burst and bloom
Like flowers in a crystal room
The void is loud the silence sings
The 

[Bridge]
The Universe gives me wings
Oh I soar through the sky
With your guiding light
Ohhh ooooh ooooo

[Chorus]
Am I awake or am I dreaming
Planets spin their hues beaming
Stars explode like skies above
Is this a dream or cosmic love
COSMIC LOVE!

Dark Entries Editions is proud to reissue "Perfect High" the 1983 debut 12” by Peppermint Lounge from Germany. The group consisted of Matthias Elvers (synthesizers, bass), Regina Petersen (vocals) and Jorg Burckhardt (drums, strings). They took their name from a popular 1960s discotheque in New York City.  Treading the lines between Italo Disco, Electro, and New Wave, the trio crafted a unique sound difficult to classify. Regina’s powerful vocals command attention as they tell the sad tale of a boy searching for the perfect high. The lyrics are based on the poem “The Perfect High” by Shel Silverstein. Melancholic arpeggiators, a throbbing baseline, stuttering samples, vocoder and the classic Roland TR-808 drum machine run throughout the track, which builds to a majestic crescendo, ala Klaus Schulze or Jean-Michel Jarre. This reissue includes the original vocal version, backed with a shorter instrumental version. 

All songs have been remastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. The 12” is housed in an exact replica of the original sleeve with black and white Dali-esque drawing. Each copy also includes a 2-sided postcard lyrics and notes.

One day I will produce some tracks again, until then, I will spend every minute listening to all the newly found gems!
