Really like the underground, almost seedy, atmosphere... a  hidden community, eclectic inhabitants, tropical animals, eastern vibe, dense but crisp production.

Man, Nic gets to play with all the badass guitar players 

dang y'all this is just ridiculously good dub

this mix is freakin excellent, makes me wanna dance all night long and watch the sun rise over the snow covered fields of my hometown...

My Jan 2021 Favorites

In stubborn ways.  I'm old and wise,
Unleashing wordplay that hypnotizes.

Whipping words like Billy Blanks,
Moving you without taking the ranks.

Carefully now explain to me. 
The art of being a ghost unseen.

Like Houdini I'll transport you away. 
Vanishing before your eyes I'll sway.

With tricks and a slight of hand in play. 
No firm handshake. 

Just words that say. I'm a dope ass poet. Here to amaze. 

Leaving no trace in mysterious ways.

Lyrics

What about salvation?
(Asking for a friend)
Is it too late to learn guitar?
(Asking for a friend)
What about reincarnation?
(Asking for a friend)

Is New York already safe?
(Asking for a friend)
Has the debate taught us anything?
(Asking for a friend)
Can crises be averted?
(Asking for a friend)

Can I get myself into new Zealand?
(Asking for a friend)
Can one get oneself tested?
(Asking for a friend)
Is love still a proposition?
(Asking for a friend)

The title was taken from a tweet by Sean Ono Lennon, when he 'asked for a friend' (#askingforafriend) if it is possible to get a resident permit in New Zealand.

Asking For A Friend (Less Perc mix)

Round and round the endless road, repetition overload, 
The circus of life
Why don’t they see, why do they refuse to see?

Blinkered and bound
More lost than found
Why don’t they see, why do they refuse to see?
Perpetual game, conceptual shame
Why don’t they see, why do they refuse to see?

Collective mass amnesia, wilful anaesthesia
Fire and furious reaction
Why don’t they see, why do they refuse to see?
The actors and the faces change, storylines remain the same
Blame it on the scapegoat faction
Why don’t they see, why do they refuse to see?

Blinkered and bound
More lost than found
Why don’t they see, why do they refuse to see?
Perpetual game, conceptual shame
Why don’t they see, why do they refuse to see?

Boneman Dub (With Nic)

This track is inspired by an old piece from 1982, which we played in my third Band. At that time we were enthusiastic and wanted to make music as a living. But we all ended up somewhere else, only our singer made it, as he joined Pink Cream 69 and later Helloween, where they are playing the big festivals till today :-)
I myself had stopped playing at all, focused on my profession and touched only the acoustic guitar from time to time. My Marshall JCM 800 and my Fender were becoming more and more living room Accessoires and were nicely looking hanging untouched at the wall. In 2015 my son woke up music in me again, when he came to me playing a song he had created with GarageBand on an iPad. Then the guitar flame started to burn again and finally the result you can listen here. I hope you enjoy it.

In 2020 we all needed a trapdoor from the world. Here's to 2021!
Lyrics:
I'm not holding out much hope
Just wait down here 
Until you hear the footsteps just slowly disappear
Looking for your own little hideaway from the world?
Make yourself a trapdoor
And drop out of the universe
(Trapdoor)
A side door, that's what you need to do
A side door to pop in and out through the world
Wait down here with me
Just wait until you hear the footsteps disappear
(Trapdoor)
You've got make a trapdoor
Got to see where it goes
It down a long alleyway
It takes you Into a big city with lots of cars and cabs
(there's no cabs no more, what are you talking about?)
You never seem to go
You're drinking toxins in a cup
Hey Baby, don't you know about the divinity of throwing up?
I've seen so many good intentions gone bad 
Like you'll never know!
Yeah (come on) make you're best intention known
I know I'm an acquired taste
That's what you got to do
Set yourself a trapdoor from the world
Trapdoor from the world
Set yourself a trapdoor
Trapdoor (that's what you're looking for!)
That's what you've been looking for your entire life
It's come to fruition!

Trapdoor (from the world)

Taking It Back (With IPG1)

From the e.p. Just a Phase. Available as a free download: https://theaffectionatepunch.bandcamp.com/album/just-a-phase.

Shadows dance into the light
Voices shriek earthly delights

Help me before I stumble
It seems I’m falling over you
Shallow, I’m fading
Insubstantial, just like you

It’s just a silhouette in the dark
I hear the pulsing beat of my heart

Help me before I stumble
It seems I’m falling over you
Shallow, I’m fading
Insubstantial, just like you

My breath hangs like clouds in the air
I thought I almost saw you, just there

Help me before I stumble
It seems I’m falling over you
Shallow, I’m fading
Insubstantial, just like you

Insubstantial, just like you

Just a Phase

Insubstantial

Navigando a vista (Deep Space navigation)

Rock, Rock, Rock and no Alternative …
Rock is not dead, you can validate the evidences here.
People who want to get mellow might be wrong on this site, but are more than welcome to take up some energy here 😀
I am playing guitar and Bass. Keyboards and Drums are programmed.
Mix and Mastering was done in the „N.o.b.S. Moonshine Studios“ in Mainz Germany.
Nearly everything had been recorded during the night, sometimes at daylight on weekends.

In the distant Subert Humlin, Gory Rallagher, Sank Frinatra, and Dats Fomino Galaxies, Her Majesty's Royal Intergalactic Empire is under siege by the sinister Khazargonians and their elite squads of shock troopers- the Jearl Pamians and Goundsardenians. Her Majesty has commissioned an elite force led by her three of Her Majesty's Space Navy's finest officers with several primary objectives, chief among them was the following directive: to combine the great tones of surf and fifties rock... with disco!
These elite officers are:  Admiral Krank of the SS Belgrade (Guitar, bass, beats, intergalactic espionage and assassination by exploding cigars); and Captain Mirth of the SS Zagreb- (Guitar, piano, synth, beats, and advanced thermal detonation). And our very own clockwork man on the drums, Mo Sheen (https://soundcloud.com/user-424452711).  Unfortunately, despite bravely serving Her Majesty's Space Navy, Vice Commandant Dubois has been court martialed and convicted for conduct not befitting an officer and counterfeiting baseball cards, stripped of his command of the SS Budapest, and dishonorably discharged from Her Majesty's Space Navy, though certain recordings of his guitar, synth, bass, beats, and forward deployable laser blasters remain here memorialized for posterity. Let it be known that though he has sunk to the very depths of ignominy, we wish him well in his new venture, the Spandex Spanktroverse.
