Lyrics

Growing Up In Graceland - for Lisa Marie

Calm but quite relentless
Growing up in Memphis
A diamond in the shadow off his eyes

Voice of souls believing
Gone but never leaving
Strong the heart is
Right before it dies

Home is where our grace is found
 Now buried in the hallowed ground

Only child of Elvis
But no one ever tells us
The life we live
Is never quite enough
It's not enough for you and me
The flame is gone
But Memphis never dies

Early Revelations
No Private conversations
Everyone now knows you
By your name
Growing up in Graceland
Fortress from the Wasteland
Protected by the walls
Inside the game.

Home is where our grace is found
Now buried in the hallowed ground

Only child of Elvis
But no one ever tells us
The life we live
Is never quite enough
It's not enough for you and me
he flame is gone
But Memphis never dies

Home is where our grace is found
Now buried in the hallowed ground

Bonus track from the new album: Blink Twice - Other Locations [Expanded Edition]

https://moodexhibit.bandcamp.com/album/blink-twice-other-locations-expanded-edition

Other Locations was originally released in 1996 on the German record label Broken Seal. It was the first CD release from Blink Twice and the label's second release.
At the time there was a zine culture in electronic music, where artists would send their cassettes through the mail to different underground music zines for review across the globe. It was really the only way to get one's music heard.
After putting out numerous cassettes in the early to mid 1990s, Blink Twice had earned a reputation as a unique dark ambient artist in America.

The dark mysterious sound of Blink Twice resonated in European countries, with favorable reviews in the Slovakian zine Crewzine, the Belgian leading electronic magazine Side-Line, Phosphor, and Wounded magazine from Lithuania. Blink Twice was also featured in American industrial magazines Outburn and Industrial Nation, as well as sonic-boom
sonic-boom.com/review/blink.twice-1.html

The sound of Blink Twice earned comparisons to artists like early Delerium, Dead Can Dance, Nightmare Lodge, SPK, and some of the Cold Meat Industry roster from Sweden such as Raison d'etre, Morthound, and Deustch Nepal. Although generally classified under the genre of "dark ambient", Blink Twice utilized much more melody and percussion than most ambient. Many tracks display the melodic layering and tribal percussion that are showcased in some current Mood Exhibit material.

"Other Locations" is finally available here on the Mood Exhibit Bandcamp page, Robert Salchak's official distribution for all his music.
It includes a large selection of bonus material from the era (1993-1996) that was either never released or only available on cassette.

Hidden as the last track is an epic nearly 15 minute tribal ambient excursion that can only be described as Dead Can Dance era Spiritchaser" (1996) meets Delerium era "Spheres I"(1994)

It is an essential historic document for followers of Mood Exhibit, as well as any fan of dark ambient/neoclassical/tribal/cinematic sounds.

During the first days of this newly started pandemic era, I couldn't help but rereading Sophocles' tragedy "Oedipus the king" and meditate on how it was meant to be interpreted at the time of its first mise-en-scène. Despite being normally considered today as a quintessential hero (and victim) of rational (self-) knowledge, following the subsequent Aristotelian interpretation of this character, my impression is that Oedipus, holder of the political power, is somehow pressured to investigate his own roots (and infamy) by the public of his subjects asking him for a solution to the plague infesting their town, more than by his own, allegedly inquiring will. Oedipus' behaviour, consisting in minimizing the extent of the plague and claiming to be doing every effort in order to fight it at first, then panicking as more as his responsibility (and his sin...) becomes clear to everyone, somehow reminded me of our current, global situation; so I've tried to portray it by recording this experimental track. The recited ancient Greek text is drawn from the initial verse of Sophocles' work, and this is its English translation:

"My children, latest generation born from Cadmus,
why are you sitting here
with wreathed sticks in supplication to me,
while the city fills with incense,
chants, and cries of pain?"

ὦ τέκνα, Κάδμου τοῦ πάλαι νέα τροφή,
τίνας ποθ᾽ ἕδρας τάσδε μοι θοάζετε
ἱκτηρίοις κλάδοισιν ἐξεστεμμένοι;
πόλις δ᾽ ὁμοῦ μὲν θυμιαμάτων γέμει,
ὁμοῦ δὲ παιάνων τε καὶ στεναγμάτων

This track is dedicated to my friend Thomas @ansound-655183295
