All New 06:00
All New : lay down yr head so sleepless and tired - sleep, remembering all the crying fire - still now the night, quiet as the waters lie … over where the swallows would fly - down falls the night, ah to think of the sorrow back once again – wish that all away … for under this sky waits a glowing tomorrow, promising welcoming days - I will follow you, out on the waves, with a hand never hollow - full now with dreams : dream overflows into the heart … under inky blue covers, rolling and flowing below, I will follow you – wherever you may go …

Phantom Music : and sometimes when yr talking your words sticks me just like pins in feeling waves of revulsion where smiling ends - stoking gut feeling, we speak in blinding reasoning . I wonder out loud, nerves a crackih like fire - mirroring faces, branding altar - cold crack stew air, exaggerating you - you froze face forward , looking sideways, turning seconds into minutes ... where fragile falters - moving seconds , building minutes to hours . and I'm taken to the limit, almost relishing the sour - waiting to be devoured ...extending madness, our voices backed-up music, our faces different now - struck far away, far way ...flung out of place .

Zeal 03:31
Zeal : n for all you say n for all you do, yr a plaster saint n I can't trust you - for all your words, for all yr ruin, you dunno what yr saying' - n you don't know you - I'm watching yr zeal a-killing you, I'm watching yr zeal take others too ... I'm watching your turn invisible, I'm watching you turn impossible - I'm watching you turn, down . n with every word of every breath, you become estranged, n you get more scared - n you hide yr fire n you light your shadow as you fan the flames so that you can burn . you turn & cower, you drift & scour, you turn around, & surely surely you'll come down .

Broken 04:01
Broken : smoulder like sapphire - jewels that I will wear, burning as quickfire to move from here to there, to drown the way of the world running yr face …to resist it -to take away each line that’s been placed, and to kiss there - ah, to kiss what’s embittered – to sweeten bitter taste, loves that longs for oblivion, in words so cruelly traced … to pluck the diamond there.

Song-Like In The Dead Night : touching the centre singing the smiling smile - taking the laughing living - the exploding trials - stay in change, meshing with the breathing darkness wild - smiling laughing sealing into some sound searching singing cry - tasting the glistening darkness, ah delicious mind ... murmers .

Five Songs 04:41
Five Songs : adam & eve & pick me went down to the river to bathe . adam & eve got drowned - who do you think got saved? .

about

. completed September 2007 . issued with a 2nd release of volume one - very much its 'sister album" .

The following is taken from a press release issued by A-Scale at the time of the album's release: ' Martyn Bates offers the following commentary on this huge set of recordings - “For me, one of the key impulses at work behind this set of recordings is an understanding of “The City”, where individuals are clearly a microcosm within the macrocosm – a distinct sense of a ‘person’ as a player on a stage with activity going on below them, around them, above them and also within them. The feeling is of something at work that is always subterranean … a sense of the invisible machinations of men and Gods. This is evidently something material – namely, work being done in the here and now. It is an expression of something non-corporeal, however … of something bigger than ‘spiritual’, you might say. And yet it is holistic, and ‘of the body’ somehow. For me, this is a ‘big picture’ that makes perfect sense: this context of living, as a body and a sprit – where the THE CITY is resolutely an outward manifestation of the human psyche. This warming and awe inspiring thought was with me during the writing, arranging and recording of this mammoth set of recordings.” '

Biog stuff? It’s always changing. Re creativity, a wise man said: ‘‘It doesn’t matter where, as long as it’s out of this world’’. This seems a good way to feel about it all ... the music should be like a drugged dream, poem, hope, prayer - probably a blues .
