Se vi piacciono le melodie in minore del grande Augustus, buttatevi a pesce su sto disco.

Troverete:

1)Minor sound misticheggiante, ovvero minimale dondolio caraibico e psichedelico, con strumenti solisti che fan capolino sornioni e appena appena fuori tempo, anche perché il loro tempo è altrove.

2) Intrecci vocali da brivvido (brivvido), pura seta, puro miele, pura estasi...la voce solista, magica di suo, accompagnata dall’eterno falsetto cosmico dei pards.

3) L’ancestrale che diventa pop, il pop che diventa trascendenza.

4) La California dei sixties (senza che i nostri, ovviamente, di quella California sapessero nulla, ), come se David Crosby avesse inciso quel suo famoso disco solista in Giamaica, ma questa prendetela con le pinze.

Troverete tutto questo e anche un sacco di roba che non vi so dire… E visto che non la so dire mi fermo qui.

Poi ok, qui c’è la canzone reggae par excellence, quella “Satta Massagana” che è una specie di preghiera. Che questi erano mistici, mistici e politici.

E se Ascia Fiammeggiante, pure lui mistico e politico, raggiungeva l’ipnosi con il furore, loro la raggiungono con la morbidezza…la stessa sensazione che mi da “Miracle” di Bim Sherman...e con questo è tutto…

Aloha...

There Is No End lyrics
Yes, my friend
This is not the end
You've got life to live, my friend
And not life to give
Stop blaming yourself
And find someone else

I'm not the only fool
Stop beaking the rule
Things you did to me
Puts you in misery

Stop going around, blaming yourself
For the things done by someone else
Do the right things, speak the truth
And your days will be much longer

Tomorrow is another day, day
Tomorrow is another day
Tomorrow is another day

I'm not the only fool
Stop beaking the rule
Things you did to me
Puts you in misery

Stop going around, blaming yourself
For the things done by someone else
Do the right things, speak the truth
And your days will be much longer

Tomorrow is another day, day
Tomorrow is another day
So don't you go away and stay
Tomorrow is another day

06   Leggo Beast (03:12)

Mmm...

Here come some wicked men
Coming fe hurt me and me friend
Acting like a wild pagan
Peeping like a leggo beast
To a cannibals fierce

They came on strong and broke the peace
And when they came all tongues cease
They came with guns and licking sticks
They meant no fun, we knew their tricks
Each one with his rock steady
And his pistol cocked ready

Mmm...

They came on strong and broke the peace
And when they came all tongues cease
They came with guns and licking sticks
They meant no fun, we knew their tricks
Each one with his rock steady
And his pistol cocked ready

Mmm...

We, we don't know wrong
We're all God's children
And we are strong
You can, you can hurt us now
You can, you can hurt us now
Cause we are strong
Strong, strong, strong, strong, oh

Mmm..

08   Satta Massagana (03:32)

There is a land far, far away
Where there's no night, there's only day
Look into the book of life and you will see
That there's a land far, far away
That there's a land far, far away.

: The King of Kings and the Lord of Lords
Sits upon his throne and He rules us all
Look into the book of life and you will see
That He rules us all
That He rules us all. :

There is a land...

10   Declaration of Rights (03:30)

Look, oh Lord, they brought us down here
Have us in bondage, right through these hells/years (?)
Fussing and fighting, among ourselves
Nothing to achieve this way, it's worser than hell, I say

Get up and fight for your rights my brothers
Get up and fight for your rights my sisters

Took us away from civilization
Brought us to slave in this big plantation
Fussing and fighting, among ourselves
Nothing to achieve this way, it's worse here than hell, I say

Get up and fight for your right, my brother
Get up and fight for your right, my sister

Took us away from civilization
Brought us to slave in this big plantation
Fussing and fighting, among ourselves
Nothing to achieve this way, it's worse here than hell, I say

Get up and fight for your right, my brother
Get up and fight for your right, my sister
Get up and fight for your right, my brother
Get up and fight for your right, my sister
Get up and fight for your right, my brother
Get up and fight for your right, my sister

Abednego lyrics
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
Working dead(?) to be thrown in the furnace
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
They had no fear, no fear at all

It was Igziabeher, yim mas gan
It was God, let him be praised
It was Igziabeher, yim mas gan
It was God, let him be praised

Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
It was three, now it's four in the fire
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
All were amazed by such mighty power

It was Igziabeher, yim mas gan
It was God, let him be praised
It was Igziabeher, yim mas gan
It was God, let him be praised

Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
