It's been longtime but I immediately recognized your style! very unique! great composition and song!

this I like a lot, will listen some more to your work

I'll be back more often. I noticed now that you've been uploading frequently.

has an eerie lean to it that is pleasant and a bit psycoactiv. i love it

Dunno how I managed to miss this exotically wonderful beauty but better late than never, I suppose.  Stylishly you, which is never a bad thing!

just 'discovering' your stuff... you have sucha unique style. a bit hauntingly dark and jazzy, and reminds me of Portishead at times. love the sounds on this one.

the mix of aerial guitars and instrumentation and vocals in flight is sublime. shades of Cocteau Twins for me : )

Love this track! My fave all time LLW Track.

A Better High: 24 Vibes from the SoundCloud community

Seems to be an endless repeated theme for me ~ running away to the countryside, and in recent years this has been the Australian wilderness, from the deep south to the far north.

Dedicated to, and featuring Gary Reeves (aka Mountain Songs) on drums and cymbals (remixed) at the start. Banjo, lap slide guitar (acting as bass), beats and vox by myself. This song is for Gary, who has been a wonderful musical compadre for many of us around the world, via this  Soundcloud Village.

Respect and acknowledgement to the Traditional Owners of the lands, waters and skies in this video, both in Australia and New Zealand. Particular thanks to the Yolgnu people of Gapuwiyak who made me feel so welcome during my short visit to Arnhem Land last year.

Looking Up & Down      Song, recording, audio & video July 2023 - Chris Okunbor (APRA)
I was chained to the city, thinking I could fly,
I gazed at the heavens as the clouds rolled high.
Long, long days working to the plan,
I changed my way of living and I left that town.

Now I'm higher than the mountains, looking down below,
rolling miles above cotton candy snow.
Way beyond the city, just going with the flow.
running to freedom to a place unknown.

Got a window seat, got a beer in hand.
Feeling in my heart for this ancient land.
Well, wild rivers snake,  jeweled seas shine.
Djerimanga Songlines are spinning out my mind.

Higher than the mountains, and the madding crowd,
cruising miles above cotton fields of cloud.
Way beyond the city, going with the flow,
running to freedom, to a place unknown.
To a place unknown.

Looking Up & Down

Looking Up & Down  ~ a song for Gary (video link in notes)

Across the sulphur light

(Written by Terry Reeves)
Terry Reeves: Lead Vocal
Hans-Michael Albers:  All instruments, arrangement & production

Whenever we send Hans the demo of a new song, one of the most enticing parts of the process is that we never know what is going to come winging it’s way back from Hamburg.  We never try and steer him in any particular direction because we have total faith that whatever he sends will  be much, much better than anything we’d had in mind.

Quite often, once a week or two has passed and he’s had the chance to expand on his thinking, he’ll send another version, totally different from the first but always something equally as brilliant, causing both Tel and myself to ponder which one to post.   A quandary of the very best kind.  

Chris O is a multi-faceted musician who seems at home within any genre but there’s no doubt she is best known for her mastery of The Blues, hence the demo leaning very firmly in that direction…or so we thought  However, on hearing it for the first time, Hans heard something very different.  His thoughts focused on a simple piano / voice ballad, something we were certainly not expecting but which totally blew us away.

By the end of that weekend though, along too came the blues version, a delicious groove to which I couldn’t wait to add some drums and as those who’ve already heard it will know, that’s the one we eventually posted.  Nevertheless, the indelible mark imprinted on my sensibilities by the unplugged mix simply refused to go away.  Even though it’s precisely the same vocal, the pared-back accompaniment pushes it’s heart and it’s power to the fore and I felt that it deserved to be heard.  So that’s the reason we’re posting ‘The Love of Mrs. O’, phase two…

In closing, despite our retirement from active involvement here on SC, Cripple Club wanted to send each and every one of you our sincere thanks for continuing to support our work.  Your generosity of spirit and kind words always mean so much to the three of us.  (Gary Reeves)

I met a brave woman by the name of Mrs O
Playing ‘The Blues’ flying high sometimes flying low
Guitars and Banjos pitching..always acoustic 
Singing and sharing a love affair with music

The Love Of Mrs O

No distance too far, mile by mile growing warm
Confidence of written word believing in art-form
Marriage strings and voice harmonising sounds
The love of freedom scales tightly in bounds

The Love Of Mrs O

Concerts of brave, pulse to a time
Ensemble in waves, helping the climb
Brothers of blues, traveller of love
Live music choose, to fit like a glove

The Love Of Mrs O

Mrs O keeps soaring magnum opus in her hands
Song of friendship for a man from many bands
Expanse of cumulus clouds, filming for all to see
Never hiding from the challenge in the Nebulosity

The Love Of Mrs O

Up and down across the world finding a closeness
No discrimination of any kind, love is always best
From ‘The Beatles’ land to a Sydney education 
Fondness for Mrs O, giving a continuous ovation

The Love Of Mrs O

THE LOVE OF MRS. O (UNPLUGGED) - CRIPPLE CLUB

When we were clearing my brother in law's house after he died in an accident,we came across a little written musing. It's the spoken part at the end of this short track. Perhaps not polished,yet poignant. Rest easy Alan.

Magic at work
There we go
Watch it unfold
It's all guesswork
Nothing to show
All uncontrolled

Drifting along
Aimlessly
Life and the flow
Is there a song
Just for me
Will I ever know

When life has lost it's theme
It's crazy impossible dream
And a heart is beyond tears
And worries and fears
Then the answers lie at best
In the scudding distant clouds
Or in memories of vibrant years
Long gone

Once again Christmas has arrived. It is time to express our best wishes for happiness and fulfillment to everyone and to imbue ourselves with a sweet and happy atmosphere. It's not easy to do so when we think about the number of people who are currently suffering from wars, persecution, repression and famine. We need a better world, let's try ....let's do it ...... Merry Christmas !!!

Feeling High

Swirling the silence amplified
Falling so crystalline
Whirring a distant hum that slides
Seizing unyielding time

Swathes of yellow fading
Fleeting moments swaying
Fragments breaking through
Moments we once knew

Veils of drab hollow magnified
Falling so crystalline
Whirring of dances reeling by
seizing unyielding time

Stasis of Reeling Dances

1 had a vision
But it was only a hallucination.
1 had a vision
But that was only a fantasy.
1 had a vision
But it was only a figment.

But that was only a pipe dream.

But until then

Gain solid foothold again 
And that eventually
Until the end

1 had this vision
But it was only a big misconception.
Thought to be on a mission
But that was only an aberration.
How 1 was wishing
that it had another destination.

But that only turned into a nightmare.
There seemed this mission
But now there is no time left to spare.

This track was made on an ipad with the korg gadget 3 app in a night.
I could do some remixing but the point is to rather create a new track instead :)

Choose another road
Walk another path

Time  to the cleanse the soul

So let me take another road

Which way I go

Not sure what I'll

Strange Feeling

to honor John C. Lilly who invented the isolation tank for exploring the human an extraterrestrial minds. He nearly is forgotten now and the books are getting rare . I*m the lucky owner of many books of him.
I once got the experience of a samadhi tank in cologne in 2010th
it was not enough time to get deeper but it really was a satisfying experience.His work with intraspecies communication is outrageous as the other works are too . no samples...
