Personal Jesus (Johnny Cash cover of Depeche Mode) Cosmic Keanu/ K2 and the Three

This is the third release of this instrumental.  Xien3 has the voice needed for this type of music so I asked him if he wouldn't mind adding his lyrics and vocals.  

WRONG DICHOTOMY
Music: Mike Krath
Lyrics and vocals: Xian3

Background: The two quoted sentences are from Der Jasager (1930, translation mainly by machine), a play by Berthold Brecht (1898-1956), Elisabeth Kaufmann (1897-1973) and Kurt Weill (1900-1950)

Lyrics:

A - B - A - B  			(2)

You still can turn around
Get your hooves back on the ground
You still can grasp, A was wrong

You still can realise the fraud
Get your hooves back on the ground
You still can grasp, A was wrong

You still don’t have to be proud
Get your hooves back on the ground
You still can grasp, A was wrong

A - B - A - B           	
A wrong dichotomy		(2)

"Whoever says A 
Does not have to say
B. 
He can also see 
That A was wrong."

And about this is this song

A - B - A - B  		
A wrong dichotomy		

You still can turn around
Get your hooves back on the ground
And still can grasp, A was wrong

You still can realise the fraud
Get your hooves back on the ground
And still can grasp, A was wrong

And still don’t have to be proud
Get your hooves back on the ground…

Released August 14, 2023

A big Thank You to The Neighbor for playing this wonderful solo guitar

The picture shows an excerpt from:
After Andy Warhol, Sunday B Morning „The Scream - Green“ (after Edward Munch), 1967, printed later

Everything Liquifies

in
While only one wimper
Flies all the time
First still very, very fast
Then it settles down the line

In the meantime…		(2)

1
Some billion ys must have passed
Since we had that start
Since we saw at last
That we can fall so hard
In times of peace 
We treat the insane, 
While in times of war 
They govern us again

In the meantime
Everything liquifies

ref
It is revolving in the ether
It drains in the simple brains -
No or, no either
(or what of it remains)
Just drops into the simple brains

2
A decrease of viscosity
In former bound aggression
And the social cohesions
The glacier anyway
Everything liquifies
Is carried away 
By the great maelstrom
Tell me, 
Was it the same yesterday ?

In the meantime
Everything liquifies

ref
It is revolving in the ether
It drains in the simple brains -
No or, no either
(Or what of it remains)
Just drops into the simple brains

out
Like the sweetest sweetie, ahh
Like the ultimate candiest candy 
Sweet as can be...

Eclectic Collective:

TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman–Stephen–guitar solos in first half, mix, and production
J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell–keys, including organ and electric piano
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara–Ken–drums and percussion
Llanpsych–@llanpsych–Tez–Guitar solo in the second half
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–bass guitar
Surfers like Us - Artur - songwriting, rhythm guitar

This is a song that I passed on to my friend Josh, as a gift. Josh added some bass, and, of course, had to get the rest of the Eclectic Collective involved, too. Ken came up with the energetic, driving beat, perfectly suited for the song. JJ added some really stunning, surfy organ and jamming electric piano. Tez added his signature inspired, powerful lead in the second part. Stephen added his dynamic guitar voice to the first half, and was kind, generous, patient, and talented enough to mix and produce the whole thing.
  We hope you enjoy our third installment of our surf rock series. Cowabunga!

The One (w/Eclectic Collective)

'She comes to him in spirit whilst he sleeps...'

Had an idea a few days ago for a dream sequence where a dearly departed woman appeared to her lover in his sleep, so I sent it to my awesome buddy & synthmeister John Buckle for ideas.

In addition to adding his glorious synths, he was also majorly instrumental (excuse the pun lol) in the creation & production of the finished track.
 
Note: I purposely heavily processed the vocal to give the impression of a ghostly voice.

We hope you like it - free download if so.

Thank you for listening ♥

The Journey

Cast of Characters:
mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark—piano, composition

Mysterious Decibel--@themysteriousdecibel --MD—lyrics and primary vocals

TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– electric guitar

J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell –organ, synth

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums and percussion, arrangement, production, mix

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –-four string fretless bass guitar, lap steel 

This was brought to us by Mark, who had written it a while back, but wanted to dust it off and give the Eclectic Collective a shot at it. He recorded it with a keen eye toward collaboration with an electric piano synth with heavy stereo tremolo. We just recently found Mark, and he has proven to be a very creative, passionate, and easy to work with collaborator—all the good things. 
  Mark set it loose to Josh first, who of course got Ken in on the act before anything else could transpire. After Ken added his wildly creative, very skillful drum beat, Josh was able to come up with a suitable bass line. He also came up with the lap slide part you hear with the heavy tremolo. Then they turned it over to Stephen, who added a very psychedelic, electrifying solo at the end. Also, JJ set upon it with a very hooky organ. 
  Last, but certainly not least, MD came up with the lyrics, which are a metaphor for trying to break into the business of music, and delivered his fiery vocals, too. Then, we all realized that the song wasn't long enough for our ambitions, so Ken came up with an idea for the arrangement, and lengthened the song to suit our needs. He also very ably mixed and produced this one for us. We had a lot of fun working on Mark's tune. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it. 

Lyrics (by The Mysterious Decibel):
 
Sometimes when we shout they can't hear us under the flow
Of the rapids

I'm screaming from the other side of the river
A shot to try
can you hear me?
I'm jumping in and swimming straight to you

All I can say is I tried
I tried and I met my own waterfall
A short way down
Did I try hard enough?
Cuz I hit the rocks below just hard enough
To hibernate me without a care
It's all just business and never fair

Home's Album

Away with the Rapids (Eclectic Collective)

Original composition by thAImonk  
Language / Style: English – Funky Spiritual House  
Genre: Funky House / Spiritual House / World Fusion  

Hypnotic deep basslines layered with handclaps, shakers, soft temple ambience, and mantra-like chanting.  
A serene but rhythmic groove designed for movement and meditation — funky, spiritual, warm, and uplifting.  
A danceable mantra for inner light.

I’m a song-writer who enjoys creating music of any genre.

My son recently introduced me to A.I. and taught me how to do covers of my previously released non-A.I. music. Since I've never considered myself a performer (except playing with worship bands at church or solo-piano at a rehab center) using A.I. is right up my alley.

Since I've  exhausted using my previously released music for A.I. covers, I now compose music in a DAW, rip to a wave file, and make an A.I. cover of this wave file. I then write lyrics to the A.I. music. It takes around 100 A.I. iterations to complete the lyrics and get a style I'm happy with.  

Brief Bio: Lived more than a quarter of my life overseas (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, Italy, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan). Each country gave me an appreciation for different types of music plus probably why I get bored easily in sticking with one genre or another.
