about

A few years ago, I wrote in my „nearly complete catalogue“:

48. SLEEPWALKING The Somnamboule ReMakes
2002: Having enjoyed producing the "ReMakes" for [my album] The Outsider [shortly before Sleepwalking], I was in the mood to mess around with the basic material from "Somnamboul" as well, and again the resulting music was something completely different, sometimes tending towards Krautrock, sometimes towards Cuts'n'Clicks insanity.

Includes my experimental "classic" "Two vertical flippoints disconstrue a verbator by ensuading it's nash" (try to repeat that ten times quickly when You're drunk...).

* * *

Also in this case, I have not a lot to add to this, except that while some of this stuff is rather harsh (especially the first track), other tracks are quite accessible.

The last track even sports some spoken words - one of my „instant poems“ (see below).

And yes - there is (like in the title of the „mother album“ Somanboul) a typo in one (track) title: of course it should be „its nash“, not „it’s nash“ - but again, I kept the misspelled title, because, You know: it’s (!) been that way for 15 years, so it’s history by now… ;-)

P.S. …and quite likely I produce typos by the dozen all the time anyway, without being aware of it. :-D

Breath (Message Tune)

All is breathing,
all rotating,
all of creation
catches breath

If we don't care
the mess we're making
all we will inhale
is death

Watch us breathing,
fight for air,
watch us fight
each other

If we don't mind,
if we won't care
we will fall,
if we don't bother

All is breathing,
all rotating,
mankind's cycles
ebb and flow

We might drown
in murky water
if we keep our standards
sinking low

You might have heard
a statement like this
10.000 times
before

Improving seems
a little boring,
maybe we should degrade
some more

I admit,
I've got no answer
All I can share with You
is fear,

loneliness,
a sense of panic,
and some time, some dream
if we come near...

All is breathing,
forever moving,
night breathes day
and day the night

and we keep moving
from each other
until we're finally
out of sight

Maybe there is
one desperate action
to take to slow
the racing horses down

A measure
to reverse direction
and regain some space
to breathe...

So reach out,
take this hand,
look in my eyes
and understand:

Underneath the surface
lies the flame,
and in it's light
we're all the same

It sounds trivial,
that's true,
as long as we
don't see it shine

You are me
and I am You
My breath is yours
and Yours is mine
