--Transmission from Admiral Krank, S.S. Belgrade to Her Majesty's Space Navy Headquarters--

Miscalculation by Hugh Man and Mo Sheen based error. Gravitational slingshot overshot target destination. SS Belgrade and crew diverted to an uncharted galaxy where everything grooves. Documenting observed and verifiable instances of Groovy Shiznit per Space Navy Regulations(see Chapter A, subchapter C, section 237.455, subsection a-e, charts 12 and 15, supplemental insert 15 et seq.).

--Nothing follows--

Collaboration with Stricknice. I recently got a Hammond M3 organ and I started this track off on my old Tascam 424 MkII to cassette. Put down some drum machine guide, added in my drum kit, and the Hammond M3 in my garage. Bounced that to my computer while adding delay fx and breaks. Sent that to Stricknice, who hit my back the next day with Bass, guitar & samples added, took that and noticed how it sounded like it could use some skank. So I added the bubble piano/organ sound, some sound effects with my voice with a bunch of reverb, some synth bass. Played the melodica bits, Created a bridge section transferring the cassette bits this time all 3 tracks mixed on the computer with heavy low pass filtering. Then found some Lee Perry interviews that I chopped up and inserted. Sprinkled on some drum hits with delay and plate reverb.

When he finally got out of the Big House, Ricky found the challenges of falconry delivered inner peace and fresh suppers.

It was dark that was reigning the lands
We came from spiritual beings to human in a vessel
I know who you are, ok?
We didn't pass through because of the darkness
Now the light is ruling over the dark, finally
this is destined
I see love
I see love
I see love
I see love 
and I understand that you say...well,you know...um um......um um

Laying down some spacious guitar and bass melodies on this that just kinda flowed out without any blueprint going in, sometimes the best way for me. Free download like everything else i do, enjoy:)

~ a song i've sung to myself for some years, i tossed the poem but still remember the words because it was already weaved into melody. now it has become a healing balm having been brought back to life by Monkey Blood Lowdown's musical accompaniment ~

LOVE WANTS ITS OWN WAY
——————————————

Love wants its own way
she’s got the attitude of a dame

everywhere but neither no where
oh she’s got a heart of a zen fool

Love wants its own way
she’s got the attitude of a dame
going everywhere but nowhere
oh where?
nowhere!
she’s got the heart of a zen fool! zen fool! zen fool….
a heart of a zen fool….
zen fool
zen fool
zen 
fool, fool…

… attitude
attitude, oh love wants its own way
own way
she’s got the attitude of a dame
going no where but everywhere
going no where
going no where
but everywhere
everywhere
everywhere
everywhere

she’s every place your mind can imagine
she’s been everywhere
to the darkest corner
corner, corner, she’s been everywhere
to the darkest corner
she’s been everywhere, to the darkest corner
she’s been everywhere, to the darkest corner

oh it all takes time
oh then you see
it all takes time
yeah you better believe
oh it all takes time
each day, all takes time, yeah, you’ll see 
it all takes time
want, want
yeah, you better believe
it all takes time
each day ok, ok, ok ::::::::
