lyrics

I'm living in an installation, it's a little like a Kienholz
But maybe not quite as good, I'm not sitting in a chair
And there is no parakeet, hopping to and fro
And it's not outrageous, not as far as I know

And there aren't any bodies, well, none apart from mine
And there are no bright colours, and it's nothing like a shrine
In fact it's not an installation, it's really just my home
But it could be Sollie 17, that's what it could have been

I could have been in a room in the Pedicord Hotel
In isolation, in defeat, peering through the window, waiting to die...

Waves of Now
by Steve Roach & Robert Rich

supported by 4 fans who also own “Kienholz”

As someone who has also been actively working at various pursuits for 30 years (or more…sigh), it warms my heart to experience the freshness and creativity in this lovely tribal ambience while also seeing it remain true to lifelong artistic visions. Listening takes me deeply into the heart of the now, and actually makes me want to be here. Thanks to both musicians also for making this music available for free: may your gift of love be returned a thousandfold. Dave Aftandilian

Green Above The Blades
by Mark Lyken

"There is a somewhat paradoxical sense of an industrial landscape and an ostensibly barren, alien world. Dissonances develop and ebb, as do less uneasy elements, purring and whirring in the fog...A thoughtful and deep work for your subconscious to ponder. Side B heads into truly glorious, if subtle, territory" -excerpt from Deft Esoterica issue one review Claude
