This is my seven minutes of terror...
Nostos Algos, partial recall...
Set the controls for the liver of the moon!

This is my seven minutes of terror...
20/20, useless hindsight...
"Going forward" is the new "from hereon in!"

Life's What You Make It. Don't back date it. (wise words) .

Life's What You Make It (Talk Talk cover)

Summer of Love filtered through (another) winter of discontent. A great song to beat to a pulp & desecrate with all due respect.  listen at bedtime...dream in giallo...Nervetraps strike again 🙃🔺️💥

Paper Sun (Traffic cover)

The beautiful Saturn and the strange - often frightening - noises it emits in space was a constant late night YouTube treat during the Lockdown(s). Here I attempted a drone piece, in homage to its warped and and screaming sound emissions. Tuned down to 'A'; Sustain & bass up to the bollocks on a Big Muff pedal: amp "up to eleven", with all settings up to the limit. Recorded with phone in the middle of headphones - so as to avoid eviction. I love it still. 🖤P. O)))

Saturn (instrumental)

Saturn II (instrumental)

Hidden-away gem, in the middle of Side 2 of 'Bleach' - wow. what a sound! Guitars tuned way down low, a beauty to scream...they were so good. To end in suicide & accidentally spawn the Poo Fighters should not diminish the fact: Nirvana was a force of nature! K.C. was a once-off, sludge lovin', Hook packin' MadraFucker!!!

The New Thing...sometimes you have to just be a conduit; sometimes you play music, and sometimes music plays you. Inspired by the spirit and the freedom of the kosmiche music, we just played, channelling what was in the air. And then a late night, crosstown chase to get some goddamn fuckin' Mooju. Let there be soundwaves >>> 🖤 - J., N., & P.

''Crossroads Impromptu'' (rough draft; 1st attempt)

I am a 20th century boy
as a 21st century man.
Fear suffocates the seed of joy; 
there's so much I cannot understand.

This Island Earth I stand upon
seems like a planet I don't know.
I can't help but feel I don't belong,
but I've got no place else to go.

O let me slip through a wormhole, 
back to the land of the Paper Sun;
Witchita Lineman, 'Grinning Soul - 
begone, tech Pandemonium!

Yeah...I'm a relic, baby...yeah...I'm a relic, baby...yeah etc...

   REHEARSAL RECORDINGS 2021

SPEC: even the greatest beauty relegates itself, in time, to the mere ornamental / just like constant disappointment becomes bearable under the flag of pessimism / this is no life for me / this is no life for you / but it's all we've fucking got / we are floating in space; baby, we are floating in space - we are floating! in space! / less than a spec of dandruff on the universal map / we are nothing. zero. nil! / this is no life for me / this is no life for you / but it's all we've fucking got.

PETROL: and so it begins like it did before, still no one wins beyond these doors - crazy! crazy! / i go to sleep pretending i am in a forest - somewhere! nowhere! / i light the way, the petrol spills on you / say it with knives; the sun it shines, and in the glare i remember something! pretty! / i wake with no cares each day, for 30 glorious seconds - groundhog! groundhog! / i light the way, the petrol spills on you / oh, spark to spark, we'll burn - together - through!

NETWORK APOCALYPSE: you name it, i watch it / i like it straight away / strange pictures with captions - the grandchildren of jokes / is that how it is now, in your world, day to day? / invisible, clandestine; i don't exist - hooray... / just when i feel like i'm still alive / you make me feel like i wanna die / hey do you remember secrets and privacy? / written communication required some literacy / now trash is the master, and every life is cheap / a self-harm disaster / dead souls of minds asleep... / just when i feel like i'm still alive / you make me feel like i wanna die / >>> / bring on the network apocalypse and let the face thief perish on his knees!

O.V.: my hammer head leaves me in awe once more / stoned at gate, just aching for the door / the lottery which i forget to do... / oracle villa, what wouldn't i do / i slide away - electrified - and dream of all the tunes i'd play inside  / ghostly remnant in the morning light / silently magnificent at night / and twilight spawns a cinematic rush / i smoke, i laugh, i smoke, i sigh; i gush / i slide away electrified and dream of all the tunes i'd play inside / come my fanatics, an electric storm / and they won't get me / no, they won't get me / for your pleasure and tago mago / and they won't get me / no, they won't get me 

SMOKE & MIRRORS: in this unreal future i have stumbled into / a planet unimagined; a world i could not know of / i am a habit pony, and a monster too / fear cripples in the morning / hate suffocates the night / there goes another lapse in time / i crave an alt. dimension / i crave an alt. dimension / this one's just smoke and mirrors / regression brings a comfort that paralyses sense / then planet navigation is just a foggy stumble / but nurturing is better along the left hand path / like an everflowing stream into the grave, where no life dwells / there goes another lapse in time / i crave an alt. dimension / i crave an alt. dimension / this one's just smoke and mirrors / and everything is bullshit! as it was and always will be.

MANIFESTO: scorched earth at our backs / burned out chevys and cadillacs / light years from the living dead / gone to follow the noise in the head / all scenes are quicksand / burned bridges billowing / all the best singers could never sing / let noise be our salvation / from the wreckage, the blare of emancipation / all scenes are quicksand / this is our manifesto / a burning compulsion / this is our manifesto / a roxy post-hardcore / 
cpl593h/we are 138.
