I feel divided
In conflict with my own past
Night is my friend
Each thing becomes true again
Illusions fade
Have we to wake
The old and black sleeping shades?
Have we to listen to dying voices
or to let them disappear
In the winds?
chorus
When come the night
You will be alone
In the darkness
Nobody to call on the phone
You will be alone...
We need to break
The mirrors of yesterdays
Blood still stands out
At the scars of hope
Past is past
chorus
I am the bird
Opening the windows of tomorrow
Free as a tear
Flying away between two laughters
Don't let vain dreams
Carry away you precious life
Don't listen to words wind can bring
It's not always easy to winnow
Truth from falsehood
chorus

Thanks to the nice-endof-year-offer I came to fill this gap in my private worm collection (a, pardon me, worm hole, so to speak :-))
Wonderful reminiscence to many good things past (Canterbury, 70s prog, folk rock) with a good sense of humour and great ideas (both in the songwriting & in the arrangements) . Carsten Pieper

agri-math rock? Rural melodic punk?
Christ knows what this is...but its damn good! Great use of 'alternative' instruments and structures to achieve a great instrumental music tinman73

MAGMA s'est autoproclamé comme étant le meilleur groupe de l'univers mais ce titre n'est pas usurpé car il ne fait justement qu'un avec l'univers, il appartient à toutes et tous. Christian Vander pousse cette logique jusqu'au bout dans Kãrtëhl, album dans lequel il n'est plus le seul compositeur — une première depuis Üdü Wüdü ! Il ne s'agit pas d'une grande épopée mais de chansons qui fonctionnent indépendamment, qui peuvent ainsi évoluer en très peu de temps. C'est lumineux, chaud et intense ! Jordan Vauvert

The new live EP by Ryan W. Stevenson's project reminded me, that this debut album must have been gone down the wishlist... If instrumental Canterbury stuff is your thing, this should be a no-brainer. Firmly rooted in the past (late 60s, 70s), nevertheless with a fresh sound. Guests incude The Tangent's Andy Tillison and Soft Machine's Theo Travis. Carsten Pieper
