En 2002 vivía yo mi penúltimo año en el piso mítico de estudiantes con mis compañeros Phobeous y P.Weinx. Por aquella época, mi grupo de entonces, Rubber Band, comenzaba a renquear de mala manera y agonizaba en sus últimos meses de vida. Aburrido de todo, y jugueteando con el ordenador, comencé a explorar otros tipos de música.

Weinx me había pasado el entonces recién lanzado ACID Pro 1.0, un programita bastante sencillo que te permitía hacer música pegando pequeños bucles de una forma rápida y eficiente, ajustando automáticamente la velocidad de los mismos sin variar el pitch. Empleando toda la colección de samples y loops que teníamos en el piso (recopilada entre los tres de mil millones de fuentes) comencé a juguetear con él. Mis primeras obras fueron versiones en plan techno tranqui de algunas canciones de Scumm, pero pronto empecé a componer nuevos temas y experimentar muchísimo.

Poco a poco la colección de paranoias sónicas electro-grunges fue creciendo en número. Al año siguiente, recopilé las que más me gustaban, las arreglé un poco, y confeccioné el embrión del disco que os presento aquí. La falta de medios y sobre todo de conocimientos hacían que el disco fuera bastante incómodo de escuchar debido a una mezcla y masterización pésimas, por lo que en tres días he remezclado todas las canciones (por suerte conservaba los proyectos de ACID intactos) y lo he masterizado en condiciones. De paso, he rescatado dos canciones que creía perdidas y las he incluído como outtakes.

Estoy muy satisfecho con las letras de este disco, porque son directas y honestas y hablan de sentimientos muy profundos. La música podría calificarse de ruido industrial pop turmix con elementos toy y sobre todo muy "lo-fi". Los samples empleados son los de toda la vida que cualquier persona que haya usado trackers para hacer música en la segunda mitad de los años 90 conocerá.


Letras:


(You Killed) Kurt (v.2) 
Robot: "It's better burn out than fading way,
there are some things which just make me wonder.
And I swear that I don't have a gun. No, I don't have a gun"

Lady gun, what have you done?
Lady gun, what have you done?
I tried to tell you
I tried to tell you once again
Oh, my Lady Gun, you killed Kurt.

Dusty Hand, what have you done?
A trigger bald up to his nose
I tried to show you
I tried to show you once again
Oh, you Dusty Hand, you killed Kurt.

Robot: "No, I don't have a gun"

Lady gun, things are the same,
Just the sheep and shit
But he wasn't to blame.
Oh, I tried to find you
I tried to find you but I failed.
Oh, Lady Gun, you killed Kurt.
Oh, Lady Gun, you killed Kurt.

Find the wings
Don't be sad
Feel the winds come from your land. x4
(Robot: "It's better burn out than fading away")

Lady gun, what have you done?
Oh, Lady gun, what have you done?
I tried to tell you
I tried to tell you once again

Find the wings, don't be sad...

Rub me in 
This time I've found a new way to scape
a new way to let you down
It's so hard to me just ignore you when you laugh

This time I've realised that you just don't care at all
Every evening I suffer your heart is broken and torn

This time I'm not the evil anymore
'Cause now the sad things - the sad things have gone
And I feel the rapture you started is done
'Cause now the sad things - the sad things have gone

I know I caused some deceptions in some friends of both
It's so hard to me just ignore you when you laugh.

The best way to escape is just staying where you are
'cause that way you make everyone realize that you're down.

This time I'm not the evil anymore
'Cause now the sad things - the sad things have gone
And I feel the rapture you started is done
'Cause now the sad things - the sad things have gone

Blindmen Also Watch 
All that blame, all that shame
you put on me as I was your trash bin
cutting my veins and watching how I slowly peel.
I promise I'll peel inside of you.

Blindmen also watch as long as they have eyes:
judge my acts even if you don't know what I've done.
Blindmen also watch as long as they have eyes:
ignore the facts even if you do know what I've done. x2

Your life is rotten but you still smile
You like to watch me peel even when I'm aching
cutting my veins and watching how I slowly bleed.
I promise I'll bleed inside of you.

Blindmen also watch as long as they have eyes:
judge my acts even if you don't know what I've done.
Blindmen also watch as long as they have eyes:
ignore the facts even if you do know what I've done. x2

Unttagründa 
I don't know what to feel
but I don't know why...
an accident? an accident.

I feel lo fi when you are not fine
I feel divine when you're feeling fine
Back on your porch let me light a torch
And point to your fine ... (no, no, no)

Bleach 2 Cloth 
Don't you hear me?
I'm the risky turn you may take
Feel alone when you're on your own
I can't hide from you.

Make yourself (how?)
Be a stain in someone else's face
Pick the only things they let you
And say thanks

(Clover - I like you like you like me)

Don't return when you're coming back
Never turn or they'll kill you
Memories, just leave me alone,
You're turning me white like bleach to cloth
Like bleach to cloth

Can you hear me?
I'll be always calling at your door
When you're sore and sorry I'll be there
Don't be down!

Smile at me (now)
Be a happy girl as you used to be
We are the only ones who'll ever find
A way to escape.

Don't return when you're coming back
Never turn or they'll kill you
Memories, just leave me alone,
You're turning me white...

Don't return when you're coming back
Never turn or they'll kill you
Memories, just leave me alone,
You're turning me white like bleach to cloth
... Bleach to cloth

Like bleach to cloth
Like bleach to cloth

Your Way! 
Let me say - Let me say
Let me say that I don't know
where cats got time

Maybe a devil inside - devil inside
devil inside
devil like you came... And got dressed.

You look like hell - you look like hell
you look like hell
but oh - your hell is pretty divine

Every time you lie
everything you say
every tear you cry
I won't never have your eyes

I feel I'm undertook by you - by all means
You never think of me - at least I think,
Your way, I feel,
your way, I feel.

Calm your eyes,
calm your heart and please calm your voice
I'm kinda tired of you

Rest your head, rest your head
rest your head over my chest
Pretend at your best.

You look divine - you look divine
uh so fuckin' divine oh my little one
And I feel amused and cursed

Scratch my face - heal my hands
stretch my throat with your nails
you make me feel deep inside

You never tell me secrets
You never tell me secrets
You never tell me secrets
You never tell me secrets

Frankenstein Goes Chasing Cinderella 
Instrumental

Sober & Cursed 
I can't believe what I see
That's again you and me
I promised to no agree
everyone me and thee

And I doth seeketh I'm serene
With all you say I'm obscene
Tears and rants - I agree
For all in you is all for me.

I'm serene - you are not here
And I feel that you fear
And I know you came so unclear
I shan't ne'er find your tears

I'm nowhere
I've been down
Time needs time, I concur
Turnarounds...

I don't know what to look like
I'm anew in this life
I've been always been Sober & Cursed
And now I know why.

I'm obscene - I can't believe
And I feel that you fear
And I know you came so unclear
I shan't ne'er find your tears

I'm nowhere
I've been down
Time needs time, I concur
Turnarounds...

The Elephant Show 
Elephant show.

Everybody, look at me down the street,
you boring gray stupid business men.
Everybody, look for something good
you boring gray stupid damned things.

So Elephant show.

You think you're better than me
You think you're better than me
Just let's go outside
You don't know what's right
You think you're better than me
You think you're better than me
Don't know what's right.

So Elephant show.

Cellophane Reindeer 
Cellophane Reindeer, what a surprise!
I thought I was the only one to see you rise.
There are some people that love you as well
Cellophane Reindeer, ç'est pas belle!

I'd like to be like someone else:
someone good, someone fair.
I'd like to be like someone else:
someone good, someone fair.

Cellophane Reindeer, I miss those times.
I had nothing to worry about, not even mimes.
There was a time when I was just like you:
Cellophane Reindeer, I didn't live my youth.

I'd like to be like someone else:
someone good, someone fair.
I'd like to be like someone else:
someone good, someone fair.

Very Anxious, Gender Independent Notion of Anger 
I can feel you
I can feel you

Welcome to the world
You might find it so stressing.
Stress in a rod,
there are some things that I can't cope with

You - you are the misstress of all my nightmares
I'm flyin' around,
I'm high on you 
I'm snapped for real

For real that I am looking for a way to scape
and I can feel you, I can feel you around.
I can feel you around.

I can feel you
I can feel you

All that you want to hide
I'll find it out.
All my way to your dreams
all along your thoughts.

Now I can see it now:
you are just like me.
That's why you can hurt me
in a million different ways.

For real that I am looking for a way to scape
and I can feel you, I can feel you around.
I can feel you around.

Clara May 
Clara May, you make me be someone good
(Clara May) at the end of the spring.

I became, I became the shoulder 
where you rest your head,
oh, Clara May.

Clara May, (I) never said no one was to blame
(Clara May), I've surely written ten songs about this...

Let me alone, I became the one
who never gets down,
oh, Clara May.

Clara May, queen of spaces you lost your spaceship
Oh Clara, Clara May
Dame of lonelyness, duchess of wheen

Everytime I recall these times I feel someone good
oh, Clara May.

Clara May...

Clara May, you make me be someone good
(Clara May) at the end of the spring.

I became, I became the shoulder 
where you rest your head,
oh, Clara May.

Porn Groove (outtake 2002) 
Wanna be alone to watch a movie - groovie
But I've got to study.
Porn movie, porn movie,
gotta be alone to get that groovie.

I'm all alone and I feel bone
I'll try my best to pass the test
I'm starving quiet, I'm quite vivent
I'm really bad, I'm really dead

I'm outside the society, 
I'm not scared at all
I'll never sacrifice my willing to the Main Willing,
I'm gonna rape myself, I'm gonna kill myself
I'm better burning than fading (away)

I feel so down that 
I will do anything you say to me 
with no resistance.

Chinese New Year (outtake 2002) 
You should have no fear of the New Year x4

You should have no fear of the New Year
You never had a chance to disappear
You always like the way that I fell down
When I step over the edge of my gown

You should have no fear of the New Year
You only have to shut your eyes, oh my dear
Forget where you are and what you feel
Think that what happens is just unreal...

You ethereal queen only dressed with a white robe
Pretty outrangeous, shy and scared like a dove
You, eyes of blue, kind of princess,
to your thoughts I have no access.

You should have no fear of the New Year
Just fear of the things that you have near
There isn't any reasons for you to cry
Just look straight at my eyes: they're all dry.

You should have no fear of the New Year
You shouldn't believe anything that you hear
The things we've done and the thoughts we've had -
you'll forget everything when you meet a Lad...
