Rhythm & Roots - Part 2 - 'Rock n' Roll'

Candelabra's burning bright
Something's in the air tonight
And there's nothing on the television...

Spy a glow on Haunted Hill
Peering through my windowsill
Something calling me
I can't escape it...

What a strange affair!
There's corpses everywhere
They speak to me by name
And creep inside my mind

It's a mystery
And it occurred to me
The lights on Haunted Hill
Have never burned so bright...

Drawn by evil forces luring me into the graveyard
Wicked incandescent orbs that break my will
I'm running and I'm stumbling
I fall into a grave
Dear god, the dead are upon me now!!

Well you see it's not so bad
When you're on the other side
There's no place to run
And nowhere left to hide

It's so beautiful, you must
Spend eternity with us
And together we'll all rot forever

What a strange affair!
There's corpses everywhere
They speak to me by name
And creep inside my mind

It's a mystery
And it occurred to me
The lights on Haunted Hill
Have never burned so bright...

Tonight
The dead are calling
Tonight
Their lights are burning bright

Tonight 
The dead are calling
Tonight
Their lights are burning bright

What a strange affair!
There's corpses everywhere
They speak to me by name
And creep inside my mind

It's a mystery
And it occurred to me
The lights on Haunted Hill
Have never burned so bright...

Luke's 'Spooky 7s'

‘strange device’ is an ambitious and immersive journey into the darker corners of the human experience. Created by the duo cyntrix and the pilot, the album weaves together a powerful blend of distorted guitars, heavy bass, breakcore drums, and choral-style vocals to create a moody and sinister soundscape. Thematically, it delves into complex emotional realms, exploring trauma, grief, and existential dread alongside deeper themes of generational curses, moral scrupulosity, and the psychological toll of CPTSD, anxiety, and depression.

At the heart of strange device lies the title track, a cinematic rock piece that balances the album’s extremes of sound and emotion. Featuring a dynamic range of distorted guitars, synth solos, and obscure sci-fi-inspired effects, this song embodies the duo’s signature blend of intricate sound design and emotionally charged storytelling. It draws listeners into a world where personal suffering is inextricably linked to larger existential questions, offering moments of both despair and resilience.

The album represents a significant creative leap for cyntrix and the pilot. Pushing themselves beyond the electronic realm, they embraced a wider sonic palette, incorporating electric guitars, six-string bass, drum kits, and even field recordings to achieve a massive and atmospheric wall of sound. These experimental techniques were designed to reflect the album's colossal themes—nihilism, spiritual psychosis, wrath, death, and the decay of both body and mind.

In ‘strange device’, the duo confronts the agony of being born into a world darkened by the weight of past generations. Through this sonic exploration, they pose a singular, poignant question: when surrounded by the darkness, do you surrender and darken with it, or do you rise to become a beacon of light?

Lyrics
====================================
It was the summer of 59.
I was yours and you were mine.
In the caddy down at the point
I was kissing you, you were rubbin my joint

I didn't think I would get this far
you made a wish on a shooting star
Came so close it nearly singed my hair
and oh god baby.

This is the night of the creeps.
Oh it’s the night of the creeps.
From somewhere in outer space so deep.
Oh my baby, this is the night of the creeps!

I went to look and you got so irate
Said I was ruining our first date
But I had to investigate
my curiosity surely sealed our fates

Oh that blue glow had me mesmerized
I had to know what was inside
and there was nowhere left to hide
cause oh my baby.

This is the night of the creeps.
Oh it’s the night of the creeps.
From somewhere in outer space so deep.
Oh my baby, this is the night of the creeps!

Thirty years later, got a second chance
Some Delta boys headed to a dance
And in a crash I took their minds
I didn’t care that they’d already died

The pretty girls all sit and wait
in the house for their tardy dates
all done up and waiting for fun.
And never expecting.

The night of the creeps!
Oh it’s the night of the creeps.
From somewhere in outer space so deep.
Oh my baby, this is the night of the creeps!

An old detective that knew my plan
Wanted to make a final stand.
I had left them nowhere to run
Oh my, my, this sure will be fun

The bus pulled in about half past nine
The old detective locked the girls inside
Said the good news is your dates are here
Let me make one thing crystal clear!

This is the night of the creeps.
Oh it’s the night of the creeps.
From somewhere in outer space so deep.
Oh my baby, this is the night of the creeps!

CAN’T GET NEAR YOU

Holding on to memories from a not so distant past
Sign away the bad ones
Well I can’t get near you
Thought about that Sunday when they laid you out to rest
Now I can’t get near you

Premonition central, yeah the day we said goodbye
Tried to best ignore them
Now I can’t get near you
Patching up the broken holes, the ones we tried to hide
Now I can’t get near you
I reach for your chain
But I can't feel you
I can't even place my name

Once upon a time when we were less than strangers
Nothing in this world could separate our souls
Once upon a time our love was full of danger
Stumbled into darkness now we’ve lost control

Trash the older future for a new and hipper cast
Sailing down the runway
Well I could not read you
Cleaning up the sutures (friggin' wreckage from the blast)
Now I can’t get near you
All contact is lost
I can’t get near you
I’m dizzy from talkin’
And our love keeps slippin’ deeper into a void
I can’t hear you
I’m drowning in all this noise

Once upon a time when we were less than strangers
Nothing in this world could separate our souls
Once upon a time our love was full of danger
Stumbled into darkness now we’ve lost control

Can't Get Near You

John Tabacco is an American composer, singer songwriter, producer, recording engineer, multi instrumentalist and graphic artist. He has engineered /mixed and mastered music for hundreds of New York recording artists as well as projects released on BMG: The Kemelions, RCA: Faze, Rampage/Rhino: Rhett Forrester, Columbia: Rebbie Jackson, Rykodisc : Bob Marley, Columbia: Chris Jasper, Electra: Sonia Dada and Nickleodeon’s Are You Afraid Of The Dark? He is the CEO of It Iz What It Iz Music Publishing which currently holds over 750 songs in its catalog. He has been an associate producer for IndiMusic TV and hosts a bi-weekly radio program (CLAM RADIO) on college radio WUSB.fm since 1999. He is currently the head of A&R at Modern Voices Digital Distribution.

His musical background consists of extensive study of orchestration with noted 20th century composer John Lessard, harmony with the late electronic music maverick Bulent Arel, and composition with Stony Brook University professor Peter Winkler. He received his BA in Music from Stony Brook University in 1983. 

Like an unfolding musical diary / puzzle, Tabacco’s music and art are constantly being re-worked, juxtaposed and intertwined. His style is a melding of pop - jazz -rock - avant garde / aleatory, classical and comedy.  He has been recording his music non stop since 1979.

Of note: In 1989 the satirical, absurd house song "Go House Yourself" co-written by Tabacco, Pati and DiMauro reached position 39 on Billboard's dance chart. 

In 2014 Tabacco signed a record deal with Texas, indie label, Muffin Records. They released his CD “Unfulfilled Shopping Carts Syndrome” internationally.
