plastic reason

05 - Douleurs Exquises : Plastic Reason

In a world drowning in conformity, "Casseuse d'Ambiance" erupts like a storm. With raw intensity and unapologetic lyrics, it shatters the silence of complacency. Join the revolution. Embrace the chaos.

LE PET

CASSEUSE D'AMBIANCE

"The sun will be dark
and the moon will turn into blood”*
This battlefield is the Troll’s to be won
Surfers and stoners and wizard’s desire
The Grim Reaper Rides upon a Wave of Fire

Spell upon Spell
That Old Witch Cast my way
But my Infinite Death
Hammer Smashed her evil face
She burned down my forest
And built her tower to the sky
Now she lies in state
while the whole crying world dies

Children listen…yeah!

Glacial frosts melting away
Mother earth endures this human rape
How can you sleep
when extinction’s at your front door?

Sailing away
To meet your maker
Sailing away
To meet your god
Sailing away
To meet your god…

People c’mon!

A pale horse gallops toward you
Its Rider dressed in black
He's coming for your life
and he's never turning back
He's got an eye on your heart
and a sickle for your soul

You can’t ever outrun him
and he’ll never let you go…

Infinite Death!
Infinite Death!

*Joel 2:31 (Old Testament)

Infinite Death Hammer

Overture #113 by George.
From Volume VI Side B of the Band of Georges.

Music and lyrics by G. Davies
Composed 20th December 1985, 6:36 - 06:53 pm.

Recorded November 1986.
Mixed April 1987.
Lifted from cassette May 2025.

Copyright © 1987 & 2025 Wud Records.
Copyright ℗ 1985 Explicit Music.

Fun Facts:
Overture #113 was also a late addition to The Concept Album.
The Concept Album was originally conceived in the spring and summer of 1983.
Much of the music for that album was composed in 1983, although not many of the songs were actually finished at that time.
The talkover is performed by George's Dad, Peter.
The beginning was supposed to be the sound of someone walking along a busy promenade onto a beach and then starting to strum an acoustic guitar.
George attempted to record this at the Sidmouth International Folk Festival.
Unfortunately it was a bit busy and he collided with a couple of other festivalgoers, which put the guitar out of tune.
When he sat on a rock and played the first C-chord, it sounded hideous.
It was very funny, albeit not particularly successful.
The #113 comes from the song being the 113th song in George's chronological list.

Jack of Shadows by George.
From Volume VIII Side A of the Band of Georges.

Music and lyrics by G. Davies.
Composed 8th December 1986, 01:00 am to 02:00 am approx.

Recorded March 1987.
Mixed April 1987.

Copyright © 1989 & 2025 Wud Records.

Fun Facts:
Jack of Shadows was never performed by a band.
George is not sure who Jack was any more.
He may even have been a combination of different people.
There is a good chance that this song was written after a long walk home from 62 Victoria Street to 31 Cowick Lane.

Dangerous by George.
From Volume VIII Side A of the Band of Georges.

Recorded February 1987.
Mixed April 1987.

Fun Facts:
Dangerous almost became a part of the set of The Subterraineans.
Dean had mastered the guitar part in preparation.
It was perhaps the trickiest guitar part he ever learned.
Unfortunately, the band ended and morphed into Rough Terrain before the song was ever performed.
Lurking in the background of this recording you can hear the EDP Wasp.
The key of this song is G# minor.

It was never heard by anybody until its release on SoundCloud.
George actually returned to school many times as a music teacher and to help speakers of other languages with their English.

Get It Right

The idea of a powerballad. I love those kind of songs. 
Experimented with some strings too.

* For DIY musicians:

Looking to grow your fanbase? Here's a proven strategy for success. It's a bit time-consuming at first because you need to work at it often. However, the awesome results will make it worth your while:

http://www.wudrecords.co.uk/miscellaneous/be-discovered-on-social-media

That article was published in March 2017. While some of the links may no longer work, the theory absolutely will. Try it for yourself!

* Unfortunately...

Due to brexshit, broken britain, rip-off britain, corruption, lies and bias in the media, bigotry, racism, intolerance, polarisation, the fact that some of our family members would not be allowed to remain post-brexit, state-sponsored child trafficking (yes, that's right, we said it - it's pretty shocking, start reading from here if you don't believe it: https://forced-adoption.com/), an increasing sense of frustration and exasperation, and general total weariness of being treated with nothing but derision, ignorance and contempt by the entire shebang since the early 80s, we decided enough was enough and moved our entire operation from brexeter in the uk to begin our grand brexodus in 2017. We are now brefugees, living in brexile very near the border of the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany. If you live in (the crumbling remains of) the uk, do yourself a favour and leave. The upgrade in life quality will blow your mind.

* What do we stand for as a label?

We support all independent musicians who are doing something we find interesting. Our team members all have formal music education qualifications.

We are against corporate brainwash muzak, their puppet friends in the mass media, and many other corporate activities. We will fight their desecration of music until either it stops or we die. 

We believe in helping others in the face of corrupt laws and a broken system. We are pro democracy, green energy and free speech.

We're politically liberal. We cannot support the republicans, maga or gun violence in the usa. We don't see there's any real difference, other than in name, between the christian far right in the USA and the taliban in Afghanistan.

In the uk we are broadly pro LibDem/Green/Labour/SNP. We are VERY anti-tory, bnp, ukip, and any of their friends and associates. We have no trust at all in the uk right wing press monopoly and the bbc. Beware the bbc and its claims of neutrality. It is the propaganda mouthpiece of the tory party. It even charges a propaganda tax called the licence fee. But we like Test Match Special and Radio 6, so does that make us hypocrites...? Hmm.

We support independence for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Cornwall. We support the individual and the underdog. We are anti-putin and his war, and pro-Ukraine.

Please notice the careful use of capitals. Capital letters imply respect!

We're only interested in the colour of your soul. Not your skin, hair or socks.

We like cricket! Most of us support Somerset County Cricket Club.
