LYRICS (by CXXXVI)

You whispered in my ear  
Secrets of your past 
Tales from Saint Helena 
You were the Constantine of your time 

Your empire of secret tunnels  
Hiding your treasures below ground 
You were a goliath in a shrinking world 

You were a shiny black diamond 
Rejuvenating the life blood 
To the mighty gumwood trees 
They named you after Hercules 
But your strength wasn’t your power 
Your power was your weirdness 

You were more than a Danish fairy-tale 
When Johan Christian Fabricius  wrote about you in 1798 
You thought the world forgot about you 
Until 1962 
You were rediscovered just like an artists lost painting 

You shined on 
But come 1967 you were gone 
Permanently frozen in a psychedelic dream 
Planning to fly to the moon
Gone too soon

Extinct

Wayne Fetherbay, Music Places 
"If you were a composer living high in the alps in Switzerland, its not surprising that your music would be ethereal. The music of this elevated group of musicians from Berne certainly could be called heavenly." 
----------------------- 
Didier Becu, The original Sin 
"Magnetfisch are making electronic music, but not your usual electronic music as the central point of this Swiss band is creating moods and they do it with the most effective thing there is, using guitar lines from cold wave....so yes, if you are wondering how "Seventeen Seconds" by The Cure would have sounded if Robert and Co. had decided to make it an electronic piece of art it would have sounded a bit like magnetfisch!!! Honestly said I really was moved by it especially as in some ways it comes very close to what Vini Reilly did with The Durutti Column. Maybe it's a bit typical for Swiss alternative artists that they keep on hanging on that cold wave sound from the eighties but for me this is just a bonus.... Magnetfisch have made a brilliant electroadventure..." 
---------------- 
"Magnetfisch already exist since 1998, and from a duo, which originally played instrumental music with roots in the 80ies New Wave, they became an outright band after two beautiful albums. Still, they let their roots shine through and do not deny them at all. [...] songs with catchy tunes that will find lots of fans amongst aficionados of good old New Wave. Although the music is electronic in its structure, I personally rather see the incisive guitar sounds, which remind me of giants like The Durutti Column, And Also The Trees and The Cure. [...]. Unfortunately, such melodic, unobtrusive New Wave is much too rare nowadays."
