hi. i'm new to this forum, just discovered chaos magic a few days ago (possibly more about that later in another thread -- i'm pretty much amazed, never really thought much about magic but some of the stuff here and there seemed to touch me -- more about that in another thread i hope i can promise (IMG:
style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ).
anyway, on to the subject. waterjuice is an artist in a musial style i like to call "ambient hippie dub", one of their tracks stands out from the rest: "launch" from the album "melbaphonics", it's different, suddenly disco-style with a 100% vocoder content [i love vocoders]. i like to discuss the lyrics of the song here and see if any of you more knowledgeable people can explain to me some of the references made in this song.
i was already fascinated by the "nexus solar plexus" bit in the lyrics, but when accidentally (or synchronically) hearing this song while browsing these forums, i decided it may make a nice first post and registered an account.
the lyrics are for me (as a non-native speaker, and because of the vocoder) a bit hard to make out, but this is what i've deciphered so far:
QUOTE
i'll meet you at the dark side
it's the star side
it's on the inside
... magic-ride
i'll see your nexus in your solar plexus
i'll see the bestest(?) yet to be infinity
in you and me and in the DARK SIDE
dark side
star sign
dark side
star side
..
dark rock .. like the rebel ..
all my funky freak style
shining star
..
wild child
..
universal power and you know just what to do
to rout it round the moon and lost the booty
you know i do my duty to rout it round the moon
and know we lost the booty
you know i do my duty to rout it round the moon
and know we lost the booty
right love words be gone here we go my friend is on
also booty(?) all night long come on baby round the song
one more time is jamming time if you catch a goog'on(?)
i will give you power to the capital P
i'm going freestyle funk right naturally
i'm picking up on all your thoughts with my ESP
this funky music takes the pong(?) so we can be free
i'm bringing on back the spirit
i'm bringing on back the love
bringing this music debt from the heights above
slamming as ... ramming
... expanding ..
neglecting no bother we rock this
DARK SIDE!!
STAR SIDE
DARK SIDE
STAR SIGN
star seed a .. m.. breed ..
and if you can't understand that make believe,
i've been expanding funk onto multiverse
in this universe with the solarverse
i got high from intergalactic powers to make you move and set you free,
got high from the intergalactic power in the hyperspace that we compete,
come on like a comet, a dimensional intention i'm on it,
come on like a quasar strike you light you a laser,
lost your booty fantasia can't phase you,
got high from intergalactic power to make you move and set you free
dark rock .. like the rebel ..
all my funky freak style shining star
..
wild child
..
universal power and you know just what to do
to rout it round the moon and lost the booty
you know i do my duty to rout it round the moon
and know we lost the booty
you know i do my duty to rout it round the moon
and know we lost the booty
please feel free to correct and add to any of this text. things that stood out to me, in a way connected to my first impressions of chaos magic are:
- i see your nexus in your solar plexus
- rebel, funky freak style
- universal power and you know just what to do
- i will give you power to the capital P
- i'm going freestyle funk right naturally
- i'm picking up on all your thoughts with my ESP
- and if you can't understand that make believe
- fantasia can't phase you
now, because this is my first post i'm a bit reluctant to posting a link to the mp3, i'm really not sure what the mods on this forum would think of that. also i checked the waterjuice homepage and they had *every* single track of that album available for free download, *except* this track ;-)
as far as i can get the general character of this band (DJs/artist/collective), i'm sure they wouldn't mind if i post a link, so what i'll do is to post it in a reply to this post, so the mods'll have an easy time wiping it if they disagree with that.
and once again, hi everybody ;-)
- poker
waterjuice - launch, any ideas about this track?
