ATOMIC GOD

One by One

It's finally time to set off on your journey, and it's an exciting moment as you wonder what kind of world awaits you!


In 5 billion years, the sun we see every day will exhaust its fuel and meet its end. The sun, which will expand larger than Earth's orbit, will engulf the planet and obliterate everything on it. If humanity manages to avoid extinction and maintain its civilization, we will abandon our mother Earth and migrate to another planet. However, the sun of that new planet will also eventually die, and once again, we will set off for another planet. There is no place in this universe where humanity can live permanently.

Is this tragedy, which will occur 5 billion years from now, the first of its kind in this universe? No, it is a catastrophe that has struck countless intelligent life forms over the course of 13.7 billion years. There must have been life forms that, after repeated cycles of war-induced civilizational collapse and rebuilding, could not escape in time and were wiped out by the death of their star. 

Will humanity be able to depart before the death of the sun?

The external synthesizer sounds that were played with this MIDI file at the time no longer exist.
I replaced them with similar sounds, but I may revise them again.

The Greatest

Love is patient, love is kind,
does not envy, takes the time;
endures all things, 
does not rejoice in pain,
never proud, or unkind

We knew in part at one time,
now the partial is done away
One time I saw in a mirror, dimly,
now we are face to face

[chorus]
When faith, hope, and love abide,
the greatest of them all is love

If I speak with the tongues of men and angels
but do not have love,
I have become a noisy gong,
fit for none

If I knew every truth
and have the faith to move mountains,
without love,
in the end,
it all amounts to nothing

[chorus]

If I give away all I possess,
and have the courage to face death,
If I don’t have love
in my understanding,
all the profits 
amount to nothing

Love is patient, love is kind,
does not envy, takes the time;
endures all things, 
does not rejoice in pain,
never proud, or unkind

[chorus]
When faith, hope, and love abide,
the greatest of them all is love

Here's Me With The Decapitated Medusa Head

Cast of characters:

Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – Takamine acoutic and Gibson Les Paul electric guitar, composition, lyrics, mix, and production

Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – jaw harp. vocals, production, mix, and editing     

J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- Yamaha Genos 2 for voices that include bagpipes, Celtic flute, and Hammond B3, along with the bagpipe and "off with her head" outro

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– mastering

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and percussion
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – four string Fender Precision bass

This song started as a rough recorded by Tez on his acoustic and electric guitars. He also wrote the lyrics right off the bat, and introduced them to the rest of The Eclectic Collective by singing them as a rough, too. His vision for this was to create a song that sounded like it could've been recorded at Headly Grange. He also wanted it to feature instruments that wouldn't sound out of entirely out of place in Feudal Age Britain (between 1000-1600 C.E.) to carry the spirit of his lyrics.

  Tez always writes songs that are fun to learn and have cool changes, so the we all jumped in with both feet. Ken was first up with his Bonham like big, bad beat. To that, Josh added his P-bass, which he used a plectrum on, something he rarely does, trying to sound like JPJ to match his Ken's energy. JJ came along next, adding his colorful mix of raucous organ, time period relevant Celtic flute, and outro bagpipes. He did the entire outro, in fact, including the "off with her head," line, too. 

  Once the music was all laid down, Tez tapped Mark to sing the humorous lyrics. Mark came through with flying colors on the vocal performance, as always, too. Mark also added the textural, boingy-sounding jaw harp in the chorus sections.

  Now that it was all in the can, Two of our master producers Tez and Mark mixed it, then asked the third, Stephen, to do the final mastering. It should be noted, too, that Mark also contributed significantly to the production, too, with his masterful editing skills.

  This was a really fun tune to put together, as we always have fun working on Tez's seeds. He is telling the tale of lust between two Feudal era peasants. Of course, it's rife with ribaldry, being as Tez is British. We hope you enjoy listening to this a much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by Llanpsych:
Verse 1
Working in the fields
All summer long
Glowing like the sun
Oh so fit and strong 
Feudal Woman
I like the way you move
Feudal Woman
I want to plough your groove
Verse 2
Loving in the dusk
Lying in the hay
Drinking hot cider
Till the end of the day 
Feudal Woman
I like the way you move
Feudal Woman
I want to plough your groove

Nightshade

Lyrics:

laying on my bed like an ocean
waiting for the sun to rise
so much emotion so many questions
will i ever love again

sick of changing places
sick of empty faces
i believe in everything
but i don't really care
sick of missing out
on all my empty dreams
i believe in everything
but i don't really
i don't really care

Empty Faces (alt. mix)

Thanks to Llanpsych for the tremendous,  brooding backing, offered as an open collab.

Towards the end I use a lightbulb on the guitar and reverse the stem. For no particular reason. Same reason for the tortured vocals. The music made me do it.

Made in Wales

I hope you will be good, even if I don't always keep an eye on you
