GATHER THE PEOPLE

Fuga Ronto's second release Greatest Treasure is a musical journey exploring different kinds of territories by blending elements of synth funk, dub, fusion, new wave and ambient with household noises, reverb vocals and quotes from movies to adventure games. Out of playful recording sessions the Zurich duo Schweizer and Shiller created songs with track names that read like movie titles. The treasure quest begins with a tongue-in-cheek intro before the title track kicks in. It’s all about exotic boogie with adventurous lyrics and voodoo magic. The rhythm guitar, percussion and multilingual chanting driven single „Falling Star“, lures even unathletic feet onto the dancefloor. "Columbo De Domingo“, a rolling instrumental based on a four chord sequence creates an illusional staircase moment. The tracks on the B-side guide towards slower and dreamier attempts. "Mirror To Water" builds on swaying synth pads that lead up to a laid-back song with breathy male and female vocals over a shuffling drum beat. It’s epilogue "Wobble In The Pool" sticks to the mood and takes the sounds further into dubby lands. The closing chapter "Mystery Of Zambio" is a delightful two- parter. Nostalgic melodies take the lead at first to be replaced by chords and a choir in the second part, until they dance away into the fade-out. Maybe a hint for a continuation of the story? One would hope so.

[PHI-19] Fuga Ronto - Greatest Treasure LP snippets

I think the lyrics speak for themselves,  many of us go through life feeling like a slave to the system, deep down we know there's more to life, shouldn't we be here to work to live not live to work...

Come Along for the Ride part 2 (1999)

Come sunrise I'll see this through.
It's the morning light that helps you move.

And little by little if it'll make you feel fine
I will, I will do this until all is right.
Little by little if it'll make you feel fine
I will, I will do this with you all the time.

Warm sunshine. Such a nice surprise.
One of a kind that helps you move.

And little by little if it'll make you feel fine
I will, I will do this until all is right.
Little by little if it'll make you feel fine
I will, I will do this with you all the time.

Never mind all the woes.
It's a crime. You said it so.
Better times come and go.
To remind you why you'll never ever know.

And little by little if it'll make you feel fine
I will, I will do this until all is right.
Little by little if it'll make you feel fine
I will, I will do this with you all the time.

Little By Little

music by Gebr K
lyrics/vocals by Druid

It's always been a
Heavy, wonderful, confusing, wild
Hard, curious, lost and lonely
Abandoned, happy, sorrowful life.

Been feeling alone for so long
Lord, been feeling alone for so long

And from the depths
In the least conceivable pain
Rises up sometimes
Something of sheer, untoxic, eternal love

Been feeling alone for so long
Lord, been feeling alone for so long

One day we will be
Undisturbed and free
Don´t you know, finally
Realize all beauty and divinity

Been feeling alone for so long
Lord, been feeling alone for so long

LORD, BEEN FEELING ALONE FOR SO LONG (ART.SILENCE/DRUID)

So Glad (feat. Yinkah)

Anything is possible
I am ready
I am grounded
I feel the earth in me
Lustrous gem
Shining brighter and brighter
Like rivers flowing through me
Washing over me
Washing over me
Washing over me
Washing over me

Like Rivers Flowing Through Me

The ancient metropolis of Istanbul probably derives its name from the Greek 'Stin Polis' ('in the city')(according to Sean Lusk's excellent book 'The Second Sight of Zachary Cloudesly)having previously been Constantinople the capital of the Byzantine Empire.
This incredible city spans the continents of Europe and Asia and reflects aspects of both in its culture and people. 
(Photo taken from a trip on The Bosphorus...the waterway dividing the city's continents.)

Daydreaming

© 2023 Pantomime Riot

Slipping through darkness with her master key
Patsy takes a book from the depository
Her fingers twitch as she turns the page
And bites right through her lip to conceal the rage

Deep State’s moving in and out
No one knows their names or their whereabouts
Flags are false as the fog surrounds 
and viewers feel and find another coup’s gone down

Hands in the cap feel the greenback grease 
And a dark gentle squeeze that will never cease
Defected elected dropping off the range 
Will slip out through the traffic on the interchange

Deep State moving in and out
No one knows their names or their whereabouts
Flags are false as the fog surrounds 
and viewers feel and find another coup’s gone down

Streets are littered and the walls all scorched
Silent figures look out from the porch
The schools are empty all the children gone
And no one can remember where it all began

Deep State moving in and out
No one knows their names or their whereabouts
Flags are false as the fog surrounds 
And viewers feel and find another coup’s gone down

Lullabiebies w/ Beebe - February 2023

Electronic Ambient House Reggae Dub. (Vocals) . Lioness Pinky🇯🇲

Chroma Dub (free download) Ft. Lioness Pinky🇯🇲

Song recipe: Borrow chords from the CCR Songbook that my Dad gave me for my 12th birthday, play some distorted Elmore James guitar licks, shout some vocals, become a human beatbox, add black magic, press record.
Adding to the guitar player meets the devil mythology. 

Lyrics:
When John met the Devil
The Devil was in a hole
And the Devil said to John:
Give me your hand, and I will give you riches like you've never known
Just give me your hand, John
I'll give you riches like you've never known
I'll give you a brand new (to you)
Gently used mobile home

Oh, John, don't worry about the bad
Cause the bad sleep well
Every single night
I'll leave you lots of whisky and bones
With meat...
Meat on them bones!

You can have all the love that you want
From these bathing beauties
in this Devil factory
It's like a bad restaurant
That's not very good
But you can have all you want
Understood?

One man's good luck charm
Is another man's burden
One man's suicide tree
Is just another man's shade

John, I can give you guile
Vanquish demons
I can keep you in style
Indulge your Id ego
I'll help you keep it under control
Hey John, Let me out of this hole
Get me out of this hole
Give me your hand, John!
Your hand John
Lift me up and out of the hole

I sit in a big bright room that is empty save for a large table in front of me. The table is covered in dozens of phones. One rings. I answer it. Click. Ring tone. Then another phone rings. I answer it. Click. Ring tone. Yet another phone rings. I answer it. Click. Ring tone. And then yet another phone rings....

This is a wonderful ambient track by Her Majesty's BFF (and secret flame?) Nic (https://soundcloud.com/nicklasf). Guitarded and warped by Admiral Krank. The original collab can be found here: https://soundcloud.com/user-766619428/coronationwide-nic-and-admiral-krank-colab

Coronationwide  Pt. 2 (Nic and Admiral Krank Collab)

We appreciate everyone listening!!! Much Love!!

Spoken word : Augenmerk

You sit on top of the mountain, the garden dwarf keeps you in prison,
you should make a decision, but you look elsewhere,
you don't want to see the hatchet come.
What is? Do you want to fall? Take flight?
What makes the throat tight? What claws your heart?
"Okay," they want to hear, everything is supposed to be alright
you're supposed to be nice, they want you nodding,
friendly smiling facing the precipice
and you look elsewhere, sitting up on the mountain,
the garden gnome keeps you in prison.

Come to a decision! Don't you wanna end your prison?
Come to a decision! Do you wanna end your prison?

You don't say what you want, because you don't want anymore.
Your words hollow and banal. Singsang of words.
You should speak of intuition, of dying,
of trust and hope. Of love. Of strategies
and what really concerns you:
the isolation, forgiving and thanking.

Worddead, because there are no words available,
all already used, already installed,
stumble towards hell,
because all through the dirt, burned by the sun
because everything has already been said, right down to the coffin,
because your body is a suitcase that you unpack or not
and good-talking, good-thinking keeps nothing away.

You have climbed an angel, climbed wings.
"Can you understand me, world?" your eyes ask,
embarrassed to ask for understanding, for seeing you.
"Do you want to understand me, world?" And look away again,
turn away, understand the one who does not look.
Nothing is more secret than suffering.
No one sees how you run out of air, thrown out,
storm wreck on the beach.
Empty, emptied. Deserted. Devoid of hope.
No, hope rises, picks you up, dented.
You sit up. You raise yourself.
and you go between looks that see nothing.
Full to the brim you are, overflowing with words, full of beans.

Your word has woken up, regained, no longer contained, it can't be restrained.
holds it's ground, your readiness to whitewash gone
you hold nothing back
The unsaid words rise, thunderstorms pattering on the land.
You're beating them out, spitting them out, you let off steam,
you vent your anger, your grievances, you air your despair.
Lust.
No prison, no more distress.
You give vent to your feelings, give way to your dreams.
Wonderfully imperfect, undeterred honest is YOUR word!

Mama Knows Judo

Fools Gold

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.
