Levitation 2016 / Austin Psych Fest

Nonagon Infinity

9/14/2016

Some of the best new music I've heard in 2016, a difficult period during which so much talent has been taken away from us while at the same time the world is being turned upside down. 

It's a companion (and in some case overlapping) list with one which has appeared on Spotify entitled "Every Cloud...Shafts Of Light From A Year Of Passing". 

This particular title is a play on an old Stackridge number. There, street-cred shot to smithereens in one sentence (although to be fair H.U.M did borrow some Korgis lyrics for their mightily impressive album, so there's a link here, really there is)

Apologies if you are not represented here - I've either overlooked you or, if you aren't on Soundcloud then you may have been picked up on the original playlist on Spotify.

<b>STARSHIP TROOPER</b>

I – LIFE SEEKER

Sister Bluebird flying high above
Shine your wings forward to the sun
Hide the myst’ries of life on your way
Though you’ve seen them, please don’t say a word
What you don’t know, I have never heard

Starship Trooper, go sailing on by
Catch my soul, catch the very light
Hide the moment from my eager eye
Though you’ve seen them, please don’t tell a soul
What you can’t see, can’t be very whole

Speak to me of summer, long winters longer than time can remember
The setting up of other roads, to travel on in old accustomed ways
I still remember the talks by the water, the proud sons and daughter that
Knew the knowledge of the land, that spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways

Mother life, hold firmly on to me
Catch my knowledge higher than the day
Lose as much as only you can show

Though you’ve seen them, please don’t say a word
What I don’t know, I have never shared

II – DISILLUSION

Loneliness is a power that we posses to give or take away forever
All I know can be shown by your acceptance of the facts there shown before you
Take what I say in a diff’rent way and it’s easy to say that this is all confusion
As I see a new day in me, I can also show it you and you may follow

Speak to me of summer, long winters longer than time can remember
The setting up of other roads, to travel on in old accustomed ways
I still remember the talks by the water, the proud sons and daughter that
Knew the knowledge of the Land, spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways

III – WÜRM

Message from cover artist Roger Dean:
Hello everyone! Good news, out now is the album ‘Wondrous Stories: The Best of Yes’, it was originally released in 2011 with a cover I didn’t know about or approve. Both Demon who released it and Rhino were very helpful in putting right the situation, and the two cd set has been re-released with a cover specially made based on an updated view of the ‘Fragile’ world. This was a closer match to the colours and shapes in the first Yessong painting “Escape”.

  • 12 Albums on 13 CDS
