I've only uploaded this to reach everyone and apologize for being quiet this past week, I haven’t been able to reply to comments or leave reviews like I usually do, you guys know I am usually very active, nothing is wrong and I’m not giving up or ignoring anyone, I appreciate you more than I can say 💜

I’m heads down writing a PC game and it’s taking longer than I expected, it’s honestly breaking my brain in the best and worst ways, I thought “Not a Movie” was frustratingly difficult, this is even tougher, I will be back, I just don’t know exactly when, hopefully not too long, thank you for sticking with me and for all the love and patience, it means everything to me, 

all my love, Krissie 💜

💌 The coffee machine whispered, “I’m having flashbacks to Not a Movie, send beans and morale”
🧺 The washing machine fretted, “Emergency cycle engaged, keep the faith while we spin”
🧯 The fire extinguisher muttered, “I was almost needed twice, code sparks everywhere but we’ve got this”

P.S. I hope you like this 😉🎶🕹️💻💜

This song began back at the beginning of the summer, when Josh was messing around on his electric piano and found a structure to which to add his bass. As soon as he opened the project to the rest of Eclectic Collective, JJ jumped right in, adding his thrilling organ and ethereal background synth. Thus, Josh dropped his original e. piano part in favor of JJ's new parts. Ken was next up, adding the drums in reverse order from how he and Josh usually do it. Ken is very skilled at being able to add drums to a pre-existing bass line, which he displays in here. He also added the clever auxilary percussion you hear throughout. Mark was next to the trough, adding his funky clavinet, as well as his sax solo you hear lighting it up in there. He also added some well composed horns toward the end, not to be confused with JJ's synth. 
  Then it was time for the guitarists to do their thing. Stephen added the strong, melodic solos in the first two breaks with his guitar and wah pedal. After Tez added his thrilling solos at the end, Stephen went back in and added the funky rhythm guitar part. Tez also added the funky guitar riffs throughout the verses.
  All that was left was to get Carl in on the action, as he is the newest core member of Eclectic Collective. He wrote a poem and sung it in his signature, wild style for us.
  This is Eclectic Collective at its almost full strength, pulling six musicians from two different continents and four different countries together to create a song. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.
   On a side note, this will be Eclectic Collective's last song for two weeks. As most of you know, we release a song every Thursday at midnight. Due to vacation and travel at the end of summer, we'll be skipping  next Friday, the 15th, but should be returning the following Friday, the 22nd. We may also put something out this coming Tuesday, the 12th, so please stay tuned. Can't thank enough those of you who tune in regularly and support us every week. 

Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:
Hey Human
It's official
The get down on fire funk
Future sizzle
All members agree
Gotta collect that love
Then give it back and well, we see
Fuel for that musical party


Initition ceremony
Transcontinental spanking machine
Uh oh it's a musical tri sexual
Try anything that melody mentioning
Do it for the song
We gonna right some wrong
Rolling rhythm unkown
The human touch
The get down


The get down
Friends don't frown
We got each-other man
Music
Keep that campfire warm
Ooo Ooo
The get down
Friends don't frown
We got eachother man
Music
Keep that campfire warm
Ooo Ooo


Aw man, I'm feeling back tingle
Lads, go tell Fiona Apple I'm single
Llanspych, nudge PJ Harvey
Jamming that genius soul new wave!


The get down
Friends don't frown
We got each-other man
Music
Keep that campfire warm
Ooo Ooo
The get down
Friends don't frown
We got eachother man
Music

Thrust that rush
Sine waved funk
Flying musical J's
Aw man it's Mike like dunk
Thrust that rush
Sine waved funk
To musical 24
You get a song
Drained 81 now on this floor


The get down
Friends don't frown
We got each-other man
Music, keep that campfire warm
The get down
Love legends loud
Rest in peace good Kobe one
This one's for you
Good G.O.A.T of stun!

I wrote this song in late July 2025 while preparing for my oldest daughter's departure to college. To me, it's about  letting them go and encouraging them to believe, and work to thrive and succeed. And for the people raising their kid(s) and through the difficult times thinking they're staying together just for the sake of the child(ren) but then when the child(ren) finally leave the nest, they realize that they still want to be together (last verse). 
Get comfortable pull up a chair I got a feeling that we're gonna be sitting here for a long time
So much has happened all throughout our years the days passed like lightening through the atmosphere as it flies by, rock a bye bye
Searching to find looking for you across the hay field down to the bungalow blue
She said it looked like someone else's tattoo because it's been there forever and time will never catch up to you
So keep on running just as fast  as you can
Chase after something that might never happen
The drive is more fun than the destination 
Search and Find then desire something new
The dust has settled and the smoke has cleared we're still down here staring at a rope and stairs that we won't climb, and I don't mind 'cause I'll always be loving you
So keep on running just as fast  as you can
Chase after something that might never happen
The drive is more fun than the destination 
Search and Find then desire something new

search and find

Had Love A Time Or Two

(Music: Hans-Michael Albers, Lyrics: Terry Reeves)

Today, 22nd. August 2025, marks 13 years since our dear brother Bri succumbed to the deadly combination of leukaemia and Guillain-Barré syndrome.  Watching him through 2012, unable to do anything for himself and increasingly confined to a hospital bed is something none who loved him will ever forget.  
He has never been (and never will be) forgotten, not only for the music he created but for the force of nature he most certainly was.  In 1964, our Mum & Dad bought him an entry level acoustic guitar as a Christmas present and his progress on the instrument was something to behold.  By the time he was 18, he’d bought himself a Gibson Les Paul on HP (24 payments of five pounds and thirteen shillings per month) from Selmers in Charing Cross Road, London.  He joined a band, somehow co-opting me in as lead singer at the tender age of 15 (still a schoolboy, no less) and over the ensuing ten years, formed bands of whose line-up I was always a part, graduating from singing to percussion and eventually drums.
There being guitars laying around the family home, Tel took to playing and encouraged by Bri, never stopped.  Fast forward another five years and he too started writing songs so that by ’82, the 3 of us decided to form a band (Root Division) to play them.  It’s a truly special thing to be in the same band as your brothers and recording those songs became something Tel and me still remember with an abiding nostalgia.  No wonder we still talk about those days…
This song started life as an instrumental, written by Hans and of course, it’s brilliant as is but Tel liked it so much, he asked if he could write some lyrics and a vocal melody.  Being a generous fellow, our dear friend from Hamburg said he’d love to hear what Tel had in mind.
His basic idea was to incorporate as many references as he could to Cripple Club tracks, in celebration of the firm friendship we have formed in together recording what amounts to over 50 songs.  There may be a few of you who can spot one or two…
So this is for you, Bri.  We love and miss you, sweet brother.
(Gary Reeves)

Last Summer day reasons
Hamburg always shines
Shadows of Superheroes
Another surprise will come in time
Click toward a pension
From birth but never knew
Surprised to find a blackbird
In the flames as the music grew

Touch wood for satisfaction
CC music every day
Root of strong existence 
Step off the world to feed the phrase
Another Titan message
Titanic stories past
Image of a fraying edge
Never thought hang of time would last

It’s the time, it’s the place
It’s the only performance I can show my face

Last chance for singing
Avoid resistant tide
Pleasing distant garage
Remember 4 to 3 to 5
Stars in space that linger
Soaking up the blue
Palette of sunshine yellow
Mix to green for go - but for who?

T,G & H, Two and you!

LAST SUMMER'S DAY BLUES - CRIPPLE CLUB

“It weaves its way to summer's end and gathers with each leaf that falls.
A whisper carried on the wind, a quiet longing – autumn calls.”
 – Laura Jaworski

We are in our final days of summer, and I must admit, I am glad, since most of the season was especially hot and humid.  Suddenly, we have cooler temperatures with blue skies, and the air is crisp with a hint of mystery…Autumn is whispering that it will be here soon.  Thinking about autumn this morning seemed like a great reason to create an improv piece. I hope you enjoy it, even if you’re sad to see the end of summer. ☺️

Binding of Ghosts

Surface glows like love…
But nothing survives.

Mirror skies, no air to breathe
A face of light, a core beneath
You watched me spin, so close to fire
But I don’t melt — I climb higher

Mars calls for war
I offer flame
Softest touch
Deadliest name

Venus burns, don’t fall for me
Golden mist and acid sea
I shine, I blind, I take you whole
Closer than love, deeper than control
Venus burns

Clouds so thick, they never end
A dance of heat, I don’t pretend
I pull the light, I pull desire
But every lover feeds the pyre

Mars breaks bones
I break the will
Silk on skin
Then standing still

Venus burns, don’t fall for me
Golden mist and acid sea
I shine, I blind, I take you whole
Closer than love, deeper than control
Venus burns

I spin the wrong way
I never forget
Pressure crushes
And still, I’m perfect

Venus burns, don’t fall for me
My kiss is heat, my truth is grief
I shine, I blind, I take you whole
Closer than love, deeper than control
Venus burns
Venus burns

Venus

City lights are blowin'
Wind is kinda howlin' tonight
Street dogs are prowlin'
While you hold me tight

Is it me or is it gettin' hot in here
Tell me now I need to know my dear

Supersonic heart beat
Goes boom boom boom 
Supersonic heart beat
All because of you
