Lyrics
It's descriptive of an altered state of reality. Lyrics When I picked up the phone An alien voice was on the line, So I looked in my address book, Wanting to reach a friend of mine, But someone had substituted a hieroglphic style; The letters grew and flew around As my shoes began to smile. The letters all got bigger, While some they stayed so small, Exploding in multicolour for Peter and for Paul. One hundred faces watched like spies As clock hands stopped in time, I was walking over galaxies Inside a nursery rhyme, And you were there beside me But invisible to all around. You spoke in tongues of patterns, While trees all hummed with sound. I navigated rivers flowing outside my door, While people in the woodwork, Dissolved in semaphore, The handle was reptilian but your face was on my mind, I tried to speak and waved my arms But your name I couldn't find. And everything was awesome with a newborn beauty; To get back, where streets are streets And love you was my duty. Now if we meet 'neath changing skies Of electric cobwebbed space, I'll see it all within your eyes And rainbows in your face.

Very cool Ed! Sounds like it could be a movie segment. Narration sets a very cool mood against the rhythms!

I must admit that I am not familiar with this genre, but when Ganimead recommended that I listen to this as a sample (I write poetry myself) I was curious. Having listened, I am truly amazed at how well both music and verse can blend together beautifully if done right. This is in my opinion a perfect example!

This is a very interesting track. I love the drum intro and unison beats which follow creating a perfect balance od sound throughout. The clear and well narrated story line was in time and very professional. Lastly, I love the originality! Great production!

This is a wonderful combination of the tribal style of electronica and dreamlike poetry. I'm going to have to experiment with this genre! Thanks for the inspiration.

This is a captivating bit of poetry. The rhythm track really keeps me on edge waiting for the next bit. It creates a sense of tension and anticipation. And that might be most sinister use of didgeridoo that I've ever heard. I hope I never dissolve in semaphore!

Very cool syncopated rhythms underneath the smooth flowing spoken word...well layed out. Digi has a nice deep effect in the early areas of the work...it's also placed perfectly at the 1:37 ( enter word reptile... was well represented i felt -:) The music bed...arrangement and story meld really tight...very nice piece...excellent collab. -)...a recommended listen imho.

What a beautiful rhythm behind the spoken narration. The Bard of Ely has an amazing narration voice, excellent poetry. I love all the different sounds coming in, including the digiridu at one place. This is incredible, excellent all around.
