Name: FUTURE LIFE tune from early 1980's by JULIAN AND THE WIKILEAKS in JULIAN ASSANGE AND THE WIKILEAKS: SECOND COMING OF THE CHAMELEON OF POP
Duration: 2 min 55 s
Description: I'm doing keyboards and backing vocals on this one from the early 1980's

I love it🖤 Im trying to make this music like this now✌️

This was done around 1980, with me on keyboard, and adding a few backing vocals. It was recorded at Cargo Studios, Rochdale, where the band The Fall also recorded their tunes. Alas, it's a copy of a copy of a copy of a cassette tape, and the tape itself has deteriorated, so you are not hearing this tune in it's full glory--if we had been a Manchester band instead of a band from Crewe I think we might have got somewhere, but it wasn't to be.

Oh man, Steve!! This reminds me of “Boy” from U2’s inintial release in same year!! And has a pre  Duran Duran feel and even the riff to Hungry Like The Wolf!! Impressed!!!🙏🙏🙏

Check out Doppelgänger, bu Daniel Amos, circa ‘82... just found album on YouTube!!... a huge inspiration for me!! Think you will enjoy it, Steve( it is a Christian band... but not like one might expect!!)🙏🙏

Back for another listen!! Great vocals, as well!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼🙏🙏🙏

Maybe you could repost our collaboration, on this page!! It got stuck @ 66... deserves more😎... just saying!

The band was called TALKING ABOUT LIFE, Mark Harrington was doing lead vocals at first, me on keyboards; eventually we shared lead vocals; if we had been based in Manchester rather than a nothing town like Crewe, it would have been a different story, we might well have broken through, instead, the band disintegrated, although Mark, myself and Steve Lomas continued to do stuff together. Steve wanted me in a later band of his called Sensibility, because he wanted to bring in more variation, but the lead in the band didn't--that band didn't last long either--a pity, it had real potential, but stuck the same style, which wasn't at all good for Steve, a brilliant guitarist playing in a limited style that, in truth, wasn't him, was beneath him, tantamount to putting handcuffs on him. Tragic that Steve died at such a young age, and I was told Mark committed suicide, but I still haven't been able to confirm that--I continue to pray the information was wrong, but have a feeling it was true.

@fish-to-lizard: Done around that time, when I lived just up the road from Manchester; comparison is much appreciated!

WELCOME TO THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF PANGAEA

THE VOLGA AND THE VISTULA
THE URALS AND THE DON
SARMATIA, A FORGOTTEN LAND
ESCAPED THE SETTING SUN

AND ZIGGURAT OF MESOPOTAMIA
WAS EVERYTHING THEY SAID IT WAS
IN THE LAND OF AQUITANIA

REMEMBER THE SARGASSO SEA
AND HOW THAT REGION USE TO BE
A TRILLION EELS WITH SEX APPEAL
WOULD CONGREGATE IN SYMMETRY

PANGAEA'S PEOPLE

FROM THE BIRTH OF DEAD PANGAEA
TO THE DAY YOUR LIFE BEGAN

PANGAEA'S PEOPLE

WE VIEWED THE HERE AND NOW FROM THE REAR
AND RUED THE APPROACH OF ARMAGEDDON

PANGAEA'S PEOPLE

K-K-K-COME ON DOWN TO THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF PANGAEA
COME ON....COME ON....COME ON
IT'S TIME TO BREAK NEW GROUND, AND START A WHOLE NEW CAREER
COME ON, BABY, DO THE PANGAEA
WIPE AWAY THE STAIN, ALL THE PAIN AND ALL THE TEARS
COME ON....COME ON....COME ON
SO DON'T WALLOW IN THE RAIN, IT'S IN VAIN CAUSE NO ONE HEARS
COME ON, BABY, DO THE PANGAEA

GONDWANALAND WILL COME AND GO
THE OCEANS ENTERING THROUGH THE WINDOW

PERCHED UPON MY CHAIR
I FELL OFF
THE CONTINENTAL SHELF

CHERISH THE TIME THAT'S LEFT
HERE COMES THE GREAT LAND THEFT
WHEN FISSURES OPEN WIDE
LAUNCHING THE GREAT DIVIDE

A SINGLE MASS LIKE BRITTLE GLASS
SHATTERS AND SCATTERS LIKE ANTIMATTER
SPASM CAUSES SPASM
FOR SCHISM SPELLS DIVISION
EARTHQUAKE AND TECTONIC PLATE
JUST CAN'T RELATE SO RECREATE

WELCOME TO THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF PANGAEA
(I RAN A MINI-MARATHON TO MEDO-P-P-PERSIA)
FOLLOW THE RED BRICK ROAD
AND THE SIGNS, THOUGH NOT THE TIMES, WILL REAPPEAR
(SWIMMING IN GREECE)
DON'T CARRY A HEAVY LOAD
FOR AS STATISTICS SHOW
IT ADDS ONE MILLION YEARS
(THE SEVEN HILLS OF ROME)
FOLLOW THE COUNTRY CODE
DISPLAY A PINCH OF RESPECT
(ASSYRIA)
AND A TRUCKLOAD OF FEAR
(BABYLON)

I THINK YOU FORGOT TO MENTION EGYPT!
NO I DIDN'T, IT'S HIDDEN, AND SUBTLY DISPERSED, AMONG THE LYRICS IN THE FORM OF AN ANAGRAM!

WELCOME TO THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF PANGAEA

INSECT (ALMOST INCEST)

IF ALL THE INSECTS HAD ONE SINGULAR MIND....SINGULAR MIND
ALL THE TROUBLES OF THE WORLD WOULD DISAPPEAR WITH TIME

ALL THE TROUBLES OF THE WORLD....WOULD DISAPPEAR WITH TIME

GOT TO BE A WAY TO CHANGE THE PROPHECY
REINVENT THE PRESENT AND ITS INDUSTRY
BRING ABOUT A FUTURE MINUS TRAGEDY
HOPE THE WORLD CAN STILL EXIST BEYOND THE 21ST CENTURY

GOT TO BE A WAY TO CHANGE THE PROPHECY
REINVENT THE PRESENT AND ITS INDUSTRY

IT'S ALL AN ILLUSION
A MASSIVE DELUSION
BUT IN THE CONFUSION
WE TRY TO REPENT

IT'S JUST A PREDICTION
THIS IS SCIENCE FICTION
WAITING ON A MESSAGE
ASTROLOGICALLY SENT

EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS IS THE MASTER'S WILLL
SLIDING THROUGH THE NOTCHES UPTO OVERKILL
WAITING FOR THE ENEMY TO COME OVER THE HILL
EVERY PERSON ON THE PLANET OWNS A CYANIDE PILL

INST BREAK

THERE'S GOT TO BE....A WAY TO CHANGE....THE PROPHECY
REINVENT THE PRESENT AND ITS INDUSTRY
BRING ABOUT A FUTURE MINUS TRAGEDY
HOPE THE WORLD CAN STILL EXIST BEYOND THE 21ST CENTURY

THE SPIDERS FROM MARS COME FROM DISTANT STARS
CRUISE THE STELLAR HIGHWAYS IN THOUGHT-CONTROLLED CARS
IT'S KIND OF BIZARRE THAT THEY ARE WHO THEY ARE
THAT THEY COME FROM AFAR, AND SPEAK LA DI DA

WAITING FOR THE INSECTS FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION
SPEAKERS OF A DIALECT THAT BALKS AT CONVENTION
FUTURE REEMERGENCE FROM SUSPENDED ANIMATION
SIGNIFIES THE END FOR SOME OF US....BUT USHERS IN THE REBIRTH OF CREATION

ZIGGY WENT INSANE, SOLD THE WORLD, FORSOOK THE BLAME
SCARY MONSTERS TOOK UP LODGING IN THE CORTEX OF THE BRAIN
HEMOLYMPH FLOWING FLOWING FLOWING THROUGH RESITANT VEINS
CLORYPHYL GREEN EVACUATES THE SPLEEN, TAKES AWAY THE PAIN

IF ALL THE INSECTS HAD ONE SINGULAR MIND....SINGULAR MIND
ALL THE TROUBLES OF THE WORLD WOULD DISAPPEAR WITH TIME

WOULD DISAPPEAR WITH TIME

EVERY MAN, WOMAN AND CHILD
WOULD THROW OFF THEIR CHAINS AND RETURN TO THE WILD
WOULD THROW OFF THEIR CHAINS AND RETURN TO THE WILD
YOU GOTTA THROW OFF YOUR CHAINS
YOU' GOTTA' THROW OFF YOUR CHAINS
YOU' GOTTA' THROW OFF....YOUR CHAINS

YOU'VE GOTTA THROW OFF THOSE CHAINS
YOU'VE GOTTA THROW OFF THE CHAINS THAT BIND
YOU'VE GOTTA THROW OFF THOSE CHAINS
YOU'VE GOT THROW OFF THE CHAINS THAT BIND....THE CHAINS THAT BIND

YOU'VE GOT TO MAKE THE BREAK TODAY
COULD BE THE ONLY CHANCE YOU'LL HAVE TO BREAK AWAY
COULD BE THE VERY LAST TIME YOU SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY
CAUSE THE WORD ON THE GRAPEVINE....IS WE'RE OUT OF TIME!

IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK LIKE
THE END OF A SHORT CAREER
THGOUGH WE TRY TO PRETEND
IT'S TIME TO FACE UP TO OUR FEARS
THE SIGNALS WE'VE BEEN SENDING
VIA SATELLITES HAVE REACHED THE EARS
OF ANTHROPODS....THAT FEED UPON....THE APLPHA WAVES EMIITING FROM....
OUR TINY MINDS

PERHAPS THE END OF OUR KIND IS WRITTEN IN THE GRAND DESIGN
THAT CIVILIZATION'S TAPESTRY MUST UNWIND
EACH CREATIVE EPOCH AMOUNTS TO A BLIP IN TIME
WE NEED TO ACCEPT OUR FATE, AND GRACEFULLY STEP ASIDE

INSECT (ALMOST INCEST)

FUTURE LIFE tune from early 1980's

The tall grass (Instrumental)

Wastin’ time is all we know
Let us lay down, let us lay low

We all chased a fallen ghost, far beneath the tide
Let us lay down

Let us lay down

Thanassis - Drums
Kostas - Acoustic Guitar
Bill Barek - Lead Guitar
Effie - Bass
Christos - Vocals, Lyrics

Breathing in a sea of violence,
Dealing with my fate with a consiouss eye,
Swimming by my anger to silence,
Its a stepping stone to what you shall live,
Met you in a day of weakness,
That i am alone with nothing to quest,
Give me now your only forgiveness,
Make me feel blessed that i found you now,
Swimming all my pain in your madness,
Swimming just above the thought of your hopes,
Playing all around with your sadness,
Can't you feel in this role that am not alone ,
Travelling in your sea of badness,
Shore to shore sacred by my holy oath,
Do you want to feel my godness,
Do you want to feel my breath in your core.

Enjoy One Breath!!

SECOND COMING OF THE CHAMELEON OF POP: THE MAN WHO BOUGHT THE WORLD OFF DAVID BOWIE

ANYONE THAT GETS TO HEAR ENOUGH OF MY TUNES WILL DISCOVER I CAN BACK THAT CLAIM UP.

I DON'T THINK MY TUNES QUITE MATCH HIS, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THEY COULDN'T GET CLOSE IF GIVEN THE STUDIO TREATMENT, AND IF I HAD ACCESS TO SOME OF THE GREATEST MUSICIANS AND ENGINEERS, AS HE HAS.

I DON'T HAVE HIS CHARISMA, AND I'M CERTAINLY NOT AS ACCOMPLISHED ON INSTRUMENTS AS HE IS, BUT I THINK MY APPROACH TO CREATING TUNES IS POSSIBLY MORE ECLECTIC THAN, AND, ALTHOUGH I THINK HIS LYRICS ARE INGENIOUS, I THINK I HAVE THE EDGE ON HIM BECAUSE THEY HAVE MEANING, AND MAKE MORE SENSE THAN MOST OF HIS, WHICH ARE MORE ABOUT A PLAY ON WORDS THAN MAKING SOCIAL COMMENTS!

Thing with many of these tunes is, the vocals get more intriguing as tune progresses, so they have to be heard from beginning to end :)
