shit, youve taken fi to a new low. this kicks ass!

Ugh.. As exciting as my first encounter with my first computer. Modern times. Or f... modern times.

Thanks for the update from your travels. It's good! Heard it on my Local 58 not surprisingly.

love the little bluesy feel now and then- another great showcase of you two super tasty hypnococks!

When the moral is rotten
and the cause forgotten,
a letter is sent
to the dessert's end.

And as you are reading,
memory kicks in,
of what you must do
and who did the sending.

The epic saga, ‘Land of ZED’ continues! About 1 year ago, Uziel, Stonerjazz and I started a collaborative prog rock style concept album around the concept of ‘Johnny and his Magical Squeezebox’. We’ve been having a lot of fun playing with different styles, breaking all the musical rules, and writing our own soundcloud inspired mythology. 

For the past 3 songs we’ve been working with a new collaborator, Francesca (a.k.a. Zed) who has added a cool new twist to our sound.
And on this track we’re pulling in a fifth artist who contributed an amazing set of lyrics: Jo Richter (a.k.a. Sonic Structures and Silent Stretches). Thanks for joining us!

Lyrics:

Pt. 1

the shining stone
deep in the mountains
the golden glow
brought forth by fountains
raising in moonlight
raising in moonlight
the golden note
created a player
weaving the node
to cross the mire
of red-shifting ire
of red-shifting ire
the jet black stone
deep in the mountains
wailing in woe
brought forth steep chasms
sucking up moonlight
sucking up moonlight
night‘s dim vibration
created a slayer
cloaked in delusion
trouble to sire
with red-flaring fire
with red-flaring fire
oh, flyers beware
the world is on fire
oh, walkers beware
of footing the mire
oh, jonny beware
never to tire
never to tire

Bickering bikers boyish bravado..emboldened they sly and Jellyfish Souls.
To Plant a finicky trickity fine bomb.
in the administrational heart of Zed.
in the mountain's monstrous mouthcave
Where Roy resides and cruelty is King.
For fear of ferocoius felines prowling the ring.
Imposed by the iron imposter this fine will ask
each creature looking more than three feet ahead
to forfeit three loaves of of freshly baked bread.
Those that cannot comply will lose the sight in one eye…

Pt. 2

Crystalizing at caverns edge
Mouth all shining as we make our descent
We outta be... weary and beware
Perhaps more troubles ahead?
Guided ourselves past the terrors
Into starlight shifting patterns
Of stalactites in space underground
We out to be wary and beware
Perhaps in this beautiful world
More troubles...
Ahead?

The Administrational Heart (Land of the ZED #9) w/ Uziel, Zed, Stonerjazz, and lyrics by Jo Richter

Rich Man Lyrics

This one is called Rich Man. In our last song, the poor man was trying to get by with limited funds. In this one, our hero is just enjoying life with whatever he can. He's happy just living life.

Lyrics;
I walk in old shoes
Drive on old wheels
Don't have much money
But that's not how I feel
Cause I'm a rich man

I do what I need
And that's getting me by
Got two feet on the ground
And my Head in the sky

I travel lightly
Not much to my name
But I've got all I need
Just the same
I'm a rich man

Wherever I'm at
Is where I want to be
And I'm living my life
Like this world's made for me
I'm a rich man

I have my friends
And my family
They're all the best people
And they're rich just like me


I've traveled the highways
In sunshine and rain
Slept in a boxcar
Of many a train
I've loved and lost
And I still feel the pain
But life is for living
And I can't complain

I don't need a thing
To prove my success
Nobody out there
I need to impress
But I'm a rich man

I do what I need
And that gets me by
Two feet on the ground
My head in the sky

I might walk in old shoes
and drive on old wheels
Not much money
But that's not how I feel
Cause I'm a rich man

I'm a rich man
a rich man
a rich man ...

Rich Man

Ahh, the dissolute pursuits of the leisured classes. So shallow! So lacking in substance! 

And pursuits scarcely get more trivial than those perpetrated by Cheesemont Paisley-Paisley and Lord Clarence Gatling von Hassle Royce, 9th Earl of Wadstein, or "Royce" as he may be casually hailed assuming you survive your first attempt at such familiarity. 

Hypnopompetus is but one of several nauseatingly diverse projects in which this brace of regal rogues, never content with studio facilities or genre restrictions, have embroiled themselves.

The skill these two flamboyants command at stylistic metamorphosis may be inextricably (and unfortunately) linked to their contentious working relationship, which is why they've become known as "The Prickly Pair". 

Yet there's no denying that the results always leave an inimitable residue -- no matter which of them is left holding the editorial high ground when the blood dries.
