Music for your Nightmares
arrived on the music scene in June of 2004 ... and suddenly found that his unique sense of the macabre .. of darkness and fear ... was warmly embraced and loved by fans of gothic horror and hellish visions. His music paints dark images in your mind and rocks the foundations of your nightmares. If you are afraid of the dark ... of what might be lurking in the shadows ... then his music is NOT for you. Condor has an exceptionally broad background ... born over a half a century ago in southern California and traveled extensively through the U.S. .. Canada .. Mexico and europe. Music has always been an obsession for him but not until 2004 did he turn to producing music. has worked in many fields. His work has ranged from house mover to electronics technician to meteorologist and many things in between. Nothing has given him the satisfaction of fulfilling his obsession with music until now.

Story behind the song
The "yei nadlooshii" (literally means walk/travel like an animal) or skinwalker of the Dine (Navajo) has the greatest amount of lore and most powerful belief among all the North American tribes. There is a story of the U.S. Cavalry rounding up the Navajo and quarantining them until the "skinwalker" problem was resolved. The Dine dealt with the skinwalkers as they always have ... as late as the 1960s even ... killed them. This song is purely fictional and does not in anyway explain how to become a skinwalker. The chant is Dine. It's just the Fire Dance and has nothing to do with skinwalkers. The accompanying pictures are handcarvings of skinwalkers done by Lawrence Jacquez, a Navajo native.
Lyrics
Man Alone, walking the land of Men Disowned family, No friends, No Rite of Passage, No Blessingway, No Jesusway, No Witch doctor, No help, No Guidance. Alone, Discovered the Peyoteway Hated and spurned, left the land of Men Unguided, Walking the Spirit world Awestruck, Found the God Coyote Wanting to be like him Coyote Why? Always alone The people hate me The people hunt me Man You run swift Kill with your teeth Fur to keep you warm Coyote To be like me Complete three tasks Man Five days .. No food .. No drink Chewing pine pitch Smoking special herbs God Coyote was pleased Dug up corpse .. Ate of the flesh .. Did not sicken Kept snake in hogan .. Trained owl to hunt with me Skinned coyote Wore the pelt and skull to look more like coyote God Coyote was pleased Coyote For tonight This night alone I give you my power Man Cruelly, my brother died Head chewed off .. Burnt to ashes Ashes offered to Coyote God Coyote was very pleased Coyote I give you my power Heart of Coyote Body of Man Mind of Animal In the daylight, travel with men At night, travel with animals Snake Owl Raven Your only friends I name you .. Skinwalker
