A robot awakes from a long sleep. In the darkness, his eyes open and contemplate a savage, thick and lush nature. The android goes in search to browse the space around him. It seems there’s no sign of life, animal or human… He quickly figures out that he’s surrounded by rusty devices, damaged metal and large dusty gearwheels. Wandering the remnants from another time, our hero, is now a true little machinist. He tampers, tinks and fishes around the mecanisms surrounding him in order to inject a new energy, a second life. Gradually, everything is gearing up, lights blink, cogs work again. It’s relaunching, it’s working well again. An amusement park re-emerges now from oblivion and comes gradually back to reality. The carousels’ shade is dancing in the starry sky, the humanoid is browsing the park’s aisles and contemplates what’s once was a place where shouts and bursts of laughter were clashing. Very slowly, but undoubtedly, the robot wards off. He casts a last gaze at this so familiar and unusual place that evokes memories, like a retrieved imaginary world. Soothed, he vanishes away, in the shade, leaving the park operating, witness of a retrieved liberty.
Tour de Manège is proud to introduce the culmination of years of work, the conclusion of a story started in 2013. Through this project, and more specifically this vinyl, we’re closing, at least for now, the interlude of this 5 volume saga. After the genesis in volume 1, “Le Train Fantôme” in volume 2, the “Freak Circus” in volume 3 and “The Wizards” in volume 4, we introduce the conclusion of this saga with volume 5 : “The Machinists”. Thanks to every contributor to the vinyl, to the Tour de Manège project et, last but not least, to the community that followed us for all these years. More than a musical adventure, it was a human adventure that started 9 years a go and lasts ever since.

Tour De Manège is proud to present the culmination of long years of work and the conclusion of a story that began in 2013. More than a musical adventure, it is a human adventure that was repeated 9 years ago and that has persisted ever since.
Through this project and more particularly this vinyl, we close, at least for the moment, the parenthesis of this saga of 5 volumes. After the genesis of volume 1, "Le Train Fantôme" of volume 2, "Freak Circus" of volume 3 and "The Wizards" of volume 4, we present to you the conclusion of this epic, with volume 5 "The Machinist" .

To all crowdfunding contributors and to all those who have participated directly or indirectly in this project. Thank you to those who listen to us and to all those who one day or another, we have given strength.

Punish Me

[Verse 1]
I watch the thoughts spin threads in air,
Little narratives pretending they care.
They rise like sparks, they fall like dust—
I see them float but they don't earn trust.
The mind makes movies out of what I feel,
Shrinks the moment down, calls it real.
But when I breathe into the body’s flow,
The stories fade, they lose their glow.
I'm wider than the tale that tries to claim me,
A steady space the mind can't frame me.
I let the noise dissolve, unwind—
I’m not the echo, I’m what's behind.

[Pre-Chorus]
Any story that I tell myself's a lie,
Not shame—just the truth that thoughts oversimplify.
Reality is spacious, the mind is small;
I leave the narration, I feel it all.

[Chorus]
I don’t believe every thought I think;
I watch them rise, I watch them sink.
I don’t fold inside the mind’s vibration—
I rest in something deeper: liberation.
Awareness opens wide and clear,
I'm not the story—I’m what’s here.
I meet each thought softly, let it pass;
I’m larger than the mind’s looking glass.

[Verse 2]
Sagan said to bake a pie from scratch,
You’d have to build the universe to match.
So every thought’s a fragment, never whole—
A sliver of a much more endless soul.
I notice each idea when it appears,
But I don’t crawl inside its gears.
The body anchors, breath realigns,
The noise gets quiet, the truth refines.
No more reacting from the narrow frame—
I show up present, not the same.
Thoughts keep forming, that’s their role,
But I choose the space, I own the whole.

[Bridge]
Thoughts will come, stories will form—
The mind is just performing its norm.
But I don’t take them as the final view;
They’re passing clouds in a sky that’s true.

[Final Chorus]
I don’t believe every thought I think;
I watch them rise, I watch them sink.
I rest beyond the inner narration—
A steady, grounded liberation.
Reality is kinder than the tale it replaces;
I breathe into presence—open spaces.

[Outro]
Let them go… let them pass…
I’m the space beyond the glass.

MFB Project - All I Want

Funky Fella starts the second part of his single series with an uplifting psychedelic trip combining an old-school spirit with relaxing regeneration. Shift to a place where you can gain strength for everyday struggle for a better tomorrow. The short vocal snaps fade in perfectly with the classic funky guitar and deep bass line Funky Fella is best known for. Synth and large keys give the track his final touch.
