You came on
like a debutante
that just stepped out
of some fashion show
Used to getting
whatever you want
So good looking
but your mind was slow
Then you told your life story
five times in the course
of an hour
If you were ten shares of IBM
I would have sold you
right there for a dollar
(Chorus) I tried to teach you
I couldn't reach you
Now I beseech you to let me go
You're just another pretty face
Oh there's no way to disguise
that the light in your eyes
is shining through
the back of your head
(It) seems that there's
a dichotomy
between your good looks
and your mental block
May I prescribe a lobotomy
with the sharp edge of
the nearest rock?
(chorus)
Just another pretty face,
you're just another
pretty face

No one does music quite like Camille and Xavier do. I see their music as being akin to soundtracks for unfilmed movies. In this instance it is a movie about explorers of mountainous terrain, perhaps the terrain of our lives. Merci pour cette musique si intrigante. :-) sumbuk

The new live EP by Ryan W. Stevenson's project reminded me, that this debut album must have been gone down the wishlist... If instrumental Canterbury stuff is your thing, this should be a no-brainer. Firmly rooted in the past (late 60s, 70s), nevertheless with a fresh sound. Guests incude The Tangent's Andy Tillison and Soft Machine's Theo Travis. Carsten Pieper
The Long Island metal band's third album etches arena-sized hooks into their jagged compositions, deftly balancing experimental and poppy inclinations. Bandcamp Album of the Day May 12, 2022

We'll see if Dan Britton will be able to conclude his ambiguous concept of 7 interweaving albums but so far, he fails to disappoint. So. Lunarians is the other sub-tier (?)/parent (??) album to Oceanarium (the other one was Heliotians)... Whatever, the music is great again :-) Carsten Pieper
