'Afterburner' is a shameless Hawkwind-meets-Kyuss-meets-Monster-Magnet riff-fest. I used to play it live with the Hibachi Dealers when I lived in England.

Artist picture
Riffs and weirdness from high in the Andes! Eclectically influenced & viscerally direct guitar rock.
Formed in 1971 ;) Carl grew up on a musical diet of folk, jazz, and classical music, before succumbing to the heady glories of rock-and/or-roll in a teenage daze. Since then, he's played various instruments (badly) on several continents. Recently relocated to Bogotá, Colombia, he has mucking around in his (extremely rudimentary) home studio -- and, of course, is hoping to (re)connect with other musicians for collaboration, on-line or on-stage!

Story behind the song
I have a not very well-hidden love of space-rock -- huge, monolithic riffs awash in Dr. Who-style sound effects and lyrics that want to sound cool without necessarily meaning anything in particular. :) This is my contribution to the genre. It may not be clever, but it's tremendous fun to play!
Lyrics
Come on .... Step aboard And make it fly. We're running far Too fast to die. We're cutting loose So many years Push it back now, baby. Light the frozen spheres. I'm setting down 'cause it's your turn. Get it on and watch it Burn .... Change the constant. Plug it in. Cross the streams and really Make it spin. On and on and on, You know we're breaking free. Send that silver dream Crashing through reality. I'm taking off 'cause it's your turn. Get it on and make it Burn .... Take a ride .... All right .... Step aboard And touch the sun. Take it off now, baby. Start your final run. And every star Will light our crown One million miles away And never coming down. We're on our way 'cause it's your turn. Get it on and ride that Burn ....
