another great sound creation, Sanshu Seiso 🙏🏽

I love the overall strangeness of synth and guitar

There's something strange at work here. Love it !

Really well done. Absolute art rock that is slightly reminiscent of some bands I love, but at the same time completely original

Original music by neno J.
This composition was created 25 years ago and now I have finally decided to rearrange and record it. Classical guitars (Hohner guitar) and piano played by me, July 2025.

This song is the fourth Carl has written and composed with a member of Eclectic Collective in mind. This time JJ is being honoured, and we all agree that he deserves it, too. Carl is a wonderful singer, songwriter, composer, and musician, and we're all grateful that he's joined our collective. 
  Here's what Carl had to say about it. "The music for this was a personal song written to myself which I never really released as I was trying to say goodbye to my own ego in the song. From that point of view I have always seen the piece as a great bit of personal therapy for me. None of the original lyrics survived and JJ gets painted by the new words. But I thought it would be nice to reuse the composition for this. There was no big reason for it only when I decided to start a 60bpm song for JJ on piano .. I started playing Goodbye Ego and the rest is history..."
  We tackled this song like we would any other, though. Mark was first up on this, adding his VST magic in the form of a Chinese gong, as well as the cello you hear in the first verse. The subject of our adulation came next, with JJ adding not only his subtle but effective Latin percussion and beautiful piano, but moody synth, as well. Ken added his majestic Chinese flavoured drums after that, and once they were down, Josh jumped in with his four string fretless bass to complete the rhythm section. Josh also added the vocal chant at the end.
  All that was left was for Stephen to mix it all down for us, which he did in his always pro manner. But before he did, he also added some subtle, yet stirring ebow on his guitar. 
  As stated above, this is a continuation of our songs about us. Hope no one thinks it's arrogant. When Carl presents us with these little treasures, it's hard not to run with them, though. Always a ton of fun to make music together. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Praying hands
Whatever cause
Once our greater good not lost
Bored children create their fun
We shelve French horn for this fine one
"Nice one lads" We read it all!
Vacation taken
To JJ calls
Neighbour to good Mickey Moore
Find Michigan piano pure

JJ calls
Just for us
Love lit up
Just for us

Down the road city of cars
To Howell front deck
Dad and Guitars
We jam that love then tell the world
Love and service human highway knurled
Good bi-product of happiness sought
With Croatian fun to cloud we court

Terrell Terminator in Jungle
Predator for good
Keys like Mr Bungle
Faith in more like we could
He Thanks you
It's lifestyle
Built from a porch
Good collective friend
Keep lighting that torch

Some moments sealed, marked and moulded
Pure intention
Dark blindfolded
Howl from human to Howell good soul
Keyed keystone as collective role

JJ calls
Darkness falls
Love lit up
Just for us
Love lit up
Just for us
Love lit up
Just for us
JJ calls

JJ calls
Just for us

JJ Calls (The Eclectic Collective)

Let’s not mince words here. Trump is the embodiment of corruption, greed, and incompetence. He’s a man who has spent his entire life looking out for himself, exploiting others, and leaving chaos in his wake. As De Niro so eloquently put it: *“He’s a dog. He’s a pig. He’s a con. He’s a bullsh*t artist. He’s a mutt who doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”* This isn’t just about politics—it’s about morality. It’s about standing up to a man who has no respect for the rule of law, no respect for the truth, and no respect for the American people.  

Trump’s presidency was a disaster. He divided the country, emboldened hate, and failed to deliver on his promises. He’s a man who thrives on chaos, who lies with every breath, and who cares only about his own ego. As De Niro said: *“He’s a punk, he’s a dog, he’s a mutt. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He’s an idiot. He’s a fool.”* And yet, here we are, facing the possibility of him returning to power. We cannot let that happen. We cannot allow this man to continue to poison our democracy.  

This is not just about Trump—it’s about the people who enable him. The sycophants, the cowards, and the opportunists who stand by his side and allow his corruption to flourish. They are just as guilty as he is. As De Niro said: *“They’re all scum. They’re all mutts. They don’t know what they’re talking about.”* We need to hold them accountable. We need to stand up and fight back.  

The stakes are too high to sit on the sidelines. This is about the soul of our nation. It’s about protecting our democracy, our values, and our future. We cannot afford to let Trump and his enablers win. We must vote, we must organize, and we must make our voices heard. As De Niro said: *“We’re gonna fight back. We’re gonna fight back with everything we’ve got.”*  

So let’s do this. Let’s come together and defeat Trump once and for all. Let’s show the world that we are better than this. That we will not tolerate corruption, lies, and hate. That we will stand up for what’s right. As De Niro said: *“We’re gonna win. We’re gonna win because we have to.”*  

This is our moment. This is our fight. Let’s get to work.

Homeland (Remix)

Another song from my band .
This song was used along with Window On The Universe as a promo single for the release of the album Magino Line.
The promo was called World v The Universe on Quicksilver  Records and I recently seen it being sold on a record shop site. I don’t even have a copy myself of the promo.
It was originally released in 1999.  The song refers to Richard Ashcroft who wouldn’t get up to receive an award for his work and the presenter Eddie Izzard said well that’s like going to a disco and not getting up to dance. And I thought what a pretentious twat. 
A brief history about the band.
The band were formed  in 1997 by Simon Bayliss and myself .
Simon a bassist and me a vocalist we had a handful of songs that needed a band of seasoned musicians to bring them alive. I recruited former band members of previous projects Lee Hughes & Rob Adams (guitarists) and Dave Robins (drums). 
Within months the band were recording and playing live with several labels showing an interest. 
Our first deal was with Holier than Thou Records but we left without releasing anything due to financial reasons. 
Our first release was a  7 Track 
EP “Hello Thane” on Quicksilver Records, quickly followed by our  debut album Virtue Circle released on Underground label Music & Elsewhere, which became a best seller for the  label. 
The album was then remastered and re-released back on Quicksilver Records in cd format, re-intitled “Virtue Circle Revisted”, M&E dealing with distribution.
Probably the best work to date was the final album Magino Line also released on Quicksilver Records. Unfortunately Simon had to leave before the second album due to work commitments with Artist Naomi of Gut Records. This lead to ‘Sarge’ Mark Sargent taking over bass duties. 
This Elegant Chaos bowed out in 2001 after the previous years sell out gig at Ronnie Scott’s. It was a wonderful time to be in a band with such talented musicians. 
Early 2020 we were released again on Music & Elsewhere to celebrate the labels 30th anniversary. This was a collection of the labels favourite songs in a download format.
This Elegant Chaos give you ……

YourWorld  (This Elegant Chaos ~ Magino Line Album)

V1
Some may recall a certain fall
And the up-and-coming, who stand so tall 
There was a man who would not walk 
But he made some sense in all his mumble talk 
There’s many that were ignored which left a view to be adored The toilet jokes came thick and fast. They’re not funny they don’t make me laugh

Bridge 
It’s like going to a disco and not getting up to dance  x2

Chorus 

Cause this is your world and we just live in it 
Your world and we just give it you 
Cause this is your world and we just live in it 
And l……………want it back tonight 

V2
Where do we go Where have we been 
When  we are travelling into this newfound scene
Time is demanding when you’re being stifled 
Another bullet in your rack of rifles 
It only took an hour of my time 
To see how much we shine 
The lightning strikes a direct shot 
Doesn’t take long and you are forgot 

Bridge 
It’s like going to a disco and not getting up to dance  x2

Chorus 

Cause this is your world and we just live in it 
Your world and we just give it you 
Cause this is your world and we just live in it 
And l……………want it back tonight 

Middle8
When a genius babes in a bath and horses and all we can do is ride different courses
When you’re so far up your own fucking arse
And what you create is a total farce

Bridge 
It’s like going to a disco and not getting up to dance  x2

Chorus 
Cause this is your world and we just live in it 
Your world and we just give it you 
Cause this is your world and we just live in it 
And l……………want it back tonight 
I wanna back tonight 
Wanna back it back tonight

Your World -This Elegant Chaos

Here I am in the shade of my lemon tree
Baseball game on the radio
Ahead in the ninth, but it ain’t over yet

All in the shade of my lemon tree
Birdsong sing in my other ear
Chance of a winning year

Called strike three, batter caught looking
Nasty pitch, outside corner, that’s two down
Here come their last hope

All in the shade of my lemon tree
Birdsong sing in my other ear
Chance of a winning year

That fly buzzing ‘round my head
Landed on my nose
If I get the chance
That fly is gonna die today

There’s a swing and a drive, going deep
Back on the track, looking up
Makes the catch, Tom* call “ballgame!”

That fly buzzing ‘round my head
Landed on my nose
If I get the chance
That fly is gonna die today

All in the shade of my lemon tree
Birdsong sing in my other ear
Chance of a winning year

Lyrics:
Bird within a bird
Dream within a dream
Taking off with madness
perks the silver stream

They will never find me 
inside of this dream
Unfreeze upon the border
where I make myself lean

Bird becomes bird
Dream becomes dream
Compartmental thinking
flushed with the effort of a seam
          Dreamed Feb. 22, 2025

Bird Within A Bird

I recently had the opportunity to enjoy a few wonderful days off, completely offline, in a small, old hotel in the countryside overlooking a beautiful lake. for some reason, this place has not yet been discovered by lifestyle influencers or occupied by adventure-seeking stand-up paddlers.

surrounded by this tranquility and far from the hustle and bustle, the lyrics for a song I had published on sc as an instrumental years ago came to mind. it wasn't that easy to get my virtual singer to perform the glissando guitar melody from back then, but it worked out reasonably well in the end.

have a fabulous, relaxing weekend, everyone!

trigger warning (not fishing for contradictory compliments): my english lyrics probably sound like schoolboy poetry. however, I have to take that risk, hoping the meaning still comes across. it‘s about realizing how empty it is to always chase the faster, better, more, to constantly wonder what‘s next, to see time as the enemy, and to ultimately be nothing but a rushing shadow of one's own driven nature. 

©music & lyrics by Hans-Michael Albers, instrumental cover & vocal performance by suno 4.5+

clock ticks, so loud
ears wildly ringing
eyes on the door
nothing to hear
feet tap restlessly, drumming
standstill, still running
I'd like to ignore it
but it's too strong 
it will take me away

my fast-drifting days
a flash like a match in a blaze
all hours I chase
just lost in the haze
I’m losing this race
won’t find any ways
I’m wasting my days
As a ghost with no face

time quietly flies
it won’t wait and it won’t give me another chance for better
it will take me away 
as it did every day

my fast-drifting days
a flash like a match in a blaze
all hours I chase
just lost in the haze
I’m losing this race
won’t find any ways
I’m losing this race
As a ghost with no face

my fast-drifting days
a flash like a match in a blaze
all hours I chase
just lost in the haze
I’m losing this race
won’t find any ways
I’m losing this race
As a ghost with no face

I’m losing this race
As a ghost with no face
I’m losing this race
I’m a ghost with no face

Ghost with no face
