Y'all have a great sound and so much talent! I'll be praying for you in all your future endeavous😊

Im not on instagram but I just saw your live version if this song! So cool! I'm a Fan guys!

Smooth strong tune all around. I liked it vm !

love way the guitar works with your fantastic vocals

Wow!

Doing this with https://soundcloud.com/florian-luethi-59518579 really managed to create very uncomfy feelings in the first place..... I am very afar from the point where i would call myself a Keyboardplayer or a "Keyboardist", but that is something i really want to achieve some day. Then there is this Swiss Army Knive of a man, playing in a Band, playing in a Bigband, reinventing old classics, playing the Keys like a young god - how can you keep up with someone like him.

He sent me the first stem back then , i think in April 2021... and said that he want it to be our thing. There was a  toiletpaperroll kind of instructions which came along with it and music sheets which i really cannot read. Thank you, goddamn! AHahahah.  It is also slow, has various changes in timing and there is also a short variation in a part with a bpm change. 

Adding this into my DAW and setting it up was one thing, finding the right key to jam along with it and trying to go JAZZ was a complete different take. Holy SH*T. 

I prelistened alot this two milestone versions out there:
Thelonious Monk Quartet - 'Round Midnight -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yg7aZpIXRI and
Miles Davis Quintet - 'Round Midnight - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIgLt7LAZF0, and while doing so, i felt terrible feeble and developed some slight depression torwards the thing which Mr. Lüthi sent me. I was flatterned, that he thought i can keep up with something like that, but also frightened AF.

So i did listen to his version and i simply was not able to do it. I gladly was able to work on any music, but going 42 BPM, sorry, i fucking started going idle ... so slooooooooooow!!! (Remember : Dawn of Damn is 160 bpm - so this track here is a bout 4 times slower). After many months i finally set everything up and for another few months tried to play something to it - progress about to be aligned with those BPM hahah....

Late but nevertheless, the inspiration finally came and while i tried to line up with this jazzy thing, Florian wanted the FY - Mojo and Crazyness, so he completely changed the whole base for the song and bam bam bam - boomarang!! We both hope that you enjoy this new version of a classic which has been re-issued about 2000 times! We are pretty confident, that this version is quite different... :)

Thank you Florian for the possibility to do this with you and all your patience, your super cool uplifting attitude and positive and constructive critic! Also pretty happy, that he allowed me to collaborate with his unique drawing style. I really tried to adapt and went full drawing mode this time! This was so much fun!

All the best to all of you and a great 2k22 !
Yours,
CMD FY

Fading Things

Fading things fading after me
 Faded pictures in my mind
 Fragile things break quietly 
 Vultures circling about 

And I’ll ﬂy away with you to a sky all made for you where your eyes get back their youth

Painted wings failing suddenly
 Angels shatter in the dark
 Instincts lead you ﬂee society
 Old desires win your mind

And I’ll runaway with you while the sun delays the moon and your troubles pass you through
And I’ll ﬂy away with you to a sky all made for you where your eyes get back their youth.

Super Magic

Stairway To Chillout (Utopians) Re Release

Lost along alone,
but amusingly,
I still got your muse with me,
but I don't know any,
point A to point B,

I've just got this bread crumb foot path,
through the frozen forest,
of my own personal Hades,
a well horned soot bath,

you hear the words,
you heard the words,
I wish I never said them,
but I have nothing here to eat,
except this trail of bread crumbs,

a crumby apology,
is all I got with me,
so I'll eat my words,
and see if I can keep them in me,

I've just got this bread crumb foot path,
through the frozen forest,
of my own personal Hades,
a well horned soot bath,

you hear the words,
you heard the words,
I wish I never said them,
but I have nothing here to eat,
except this trail of bread crumbs,

and that giant house of candy...

Crumby Apology

Kerma was built in 2500 BC and resisted the Egyptians for a millennium. Today, an uninformed eye has trouble finding the traces of that time. We see only a ruin of sand-colored, unfired bricks: the deffufa, the former place of worship. The ground around it still suggests the foundations of houses.

A thousand years after its beginnings, the kingdom of Kush had grown so large that it stretched between the second and fourth cataracts of the Nile, more than 700 kilometers. Trade flourished because gold, ivory and ebony had to take this route on their way from the interior of Africa to Egypt. For the pharaohs of the 18th Dynasty, the rulers on the southern border of their empire became too powerful. Around 1550 B.C. Thutmosis I and Thutmosis II advanced successively into the Upper Nubian Nile Valley. The fighting for Kerma lasted a long time, but by the end of the century the city had been conquered and destroyed. After the destruction of Kerma, the Egyptians occupied Upper Nubia until the fourth cataract of the Nile. Nobody knows what happened to the Nubian kings after that. Archaeologists lack any trace of them. But in Napata, below the fourth cataract, they reappear. The new capital of the Kush Empire lay not far from the Nile and was a crossroads of trade routes. In front of its gates loomed the Chebel Barkal.

The Nubians regarded the plateau as the seat of the god Amun, the god of kings, whom the Egyptians also worshipped. The Chebel Barkal has some requirements. You have to climb it early in the morning or an hour before sunset, otherwise you will perish from heat during the ascent. To the east, a 75-meter-high rocky needle stands out. Its peak has contributed a lot to the legends surrounding the mountain. For the ancient rulers saw in it a uraeus, a cobra. And the snake was the totem animal of the pharaohs.

The Dawn Of The Nubian Pharao

U-The Three-Legged Crow

Short track exploring hip hop genres, with help from two little pixies inhabiting home lately. Sick part in the middle was generated from a Fibonacci series, proving there is order in any chaotic system. Only a stupid would have played guitar on that mess… so I did. Pic taken under a bridge in my hometown.

Letra  /  Translated Lyrics:

No sé dónde ir (El mundo es un caos)  /  I don’t know where to go (The world is a chaos)

Estrofa / Verse:

Noticias, ruido, gente, prisa,  /  News, noise, people, hurry,
todo pasa, empieza, termina,  /  all passes, starts, ends,
las cosas pasan sin sentirlas,  /  things happen without noticing,
la vida corre muy deprisa.  /  life runs very fast.

Estribillo / Refrain:

No sé dónde ir,  /  I don’t know where to go,
no sé dónde ir.  /  I don’t know where to go.
Este mundo es un caos  /  This world is a chaos
del que quiero huir.  /  from where I want to flee.

No sé dónde ir (El mundo es un caos)

words and music K Gennery

A song inspired by one of my favourite tv programmes, BBC's detectorists.

Words:
Fly on a recce surveying for clues,
a reflection or a sparkle, means the world to you.
Then you swoop down and take it and hide it up high,
a treasure trove of goodies, sway in the sky. 
And we all know.

Sunlight is your accomplice in tandem you toil,
hour after hour, through bush, grass and soil.
Probing for that moment, discover like no other,
decades lay unfound, riches abound.

What you need is shimmering, all kinds of precious things,
like rubys and diamond rings they all catch your eye.
And when you see it glimmering, all kinds of pretty things,
you have to stop never pass on by....magpie.

When you find your rainbow,
with it's own crock of gold.
Keep it to yourself secrets never to be told.
And I'll pop on my top hat and tip it towards you,
a gesture for tradition somewhat long forgotten.

What you need is shimmering, all kinds of precious things,
like rubys and diamond rings they all catch your eye.
And when you see it glimmering, all kinds of pretty things,
you have to stop never pass on by....magpie.

Love Never Felt So Good [Single]

magpie

Fresh off their support slot for Reverend & The Makers and ready for the release of their new track ‘Jealousy’ which has already been championed by Jericho Keys at BBC Introducing as:

“Absolutely mint. The best thing Nalgo Bay have released to date.”

Hailing from Cayton, home of salt licked cliffs and salt covered chips are NALGO BAY, a fiery hook driven indie rock outfit, oozing with Northern pride, drive and ambition. 

Take Fleetwood Mac, add grit, roaring guitars and a dash of cheek from the edgy dual vocals and NALGO BAY is what comes out. Featuring Terri-Ann Prendergast (bass, vocals), Harry Bullen (guitar, vocals) and Jon Dawes (drums) the band sit comfortably somewhere between Florence & the Machine, Foo Fighters & The Subways.

NALGO BAYS songs hit hard with big hooks, lyrical wit & fearless northern spirit.

“Delivered in an unapologetically Northern accent, NALGO BAY are proud and bold and it is utterly compelling.”
