DINC'A L'ISCLA D'AVAL
Nada
De sas escamas rema
Jós la mar granda vòga
Dempuèi de meses vòla
Ieu non sai pas d'ont
Conèis pas lo camin
Lo camin la conèis
Lo meteis que los grands
Meteis que los aujòls
Ieu non sai pas dempuèi quora
Son astrada la tira
E son instint l'aspira
Tot drèit
Dinc'a l'iscla d'aval
Ieu lo sai plan ont
Se'n va pausar la vida
Dins lo bèl nis d'arena
Que pòsca tornar naisser
Encara tornar naisser
Ieu non sai pas cossi
En arrivant aici
Lo maratge i es pas pus
Demòra que los ròcs
Las gresas et lo coralh
Ieu lo sai plan, perqué
Son las gens de la tèrra
An plan rasclat la riba
An raubat tot lo sable
L'an panat, per bastir
Ieu non sai pas que!
Se'n tòrna a la mar
Los uòus a la deriva
Sonca pels predators
E la tartuga plora
Ieu non sai pas s'es possible
De plorar dins la mar
De plorar dins la mar
JUSQU’À L'ÎLE DE LÀ-BAS
Elle nage
De ses écailles elle rame
Sous l'océan elle vogue
Depuis des mois elle vole
Moi, je ne sais pas d'où
Elle ne connaît pas le chemin.
C'est le chemin qui la connaît
Le même que les grands parents
Le même que les aïeux
Moi, je ne sais pas depuis quand
Son destin la tire
Et son instinct l'aspire
Tout droit
Jusqu'à l'île de làbas
Moi je sais bien où
Elle va poser la vie
Dans le grand nid de sable
Pour qu'elle puisse naître
Encore renaître
Moi je ne sais comment
En arrivant ici
Le rivage n'y est plus
Il reste que les rochers
Les graviers et le corail
Moi je le sais bien, pourquoi
Ce sont les gens de la terre
Ils ont détruit la rive
Ils ont dérobé tout le sable
Ils l'ont volé, pour bâtir
Moi, je ne sais quoi!
Elle s'en retourne à la mer
Les œufs à la dérive
Sauf pour les prédateurs.
Et la tortue pleure
Moi, je ne sais pas si c'est possible
De pleurer dans la mer
De pleurer dans la mer
TOWARD THE ISLAND DOWN THERE
She is swimming
Rowing with her scales
Fumbling under the ocean
For months she has flied
I, for one, do not know whence
She does not know the way
It is the way which knows her
The same as her grandparent's
The same as her forebear's
I, for one, do not know how long before that
Her destiny is drawing her
And her instinct is aiming her
Straight ahead
Toward the island down there
I, for one, do well know thence
She is going there to set the life
In the big sand nest
In order to be born
To be born again
I, for one, do not know how
When she finally get there
The shoreline doesn't exist anymore
Only rocks remain
Gravels and coral
I, for one, do well know why
These are the people from the earth
They destroyed the shore
They stole all the sand
They stole it, to build
I, for one, do not know what !
She turns down to the see
Eggs drifting
Solely for the predators
And the turtle is crying
I, for one, do not know whether it is possible
To weep in the see
To weep in the see

Arcane Alchemists Toulouse, France
Like an alchimist concocting his potion, these four sound makers prepare an elixir to listen without moderation. At the
crossroad of genres, a music without comparison, that could be called « wheel fusion » or « slide electro-gurdy ».
Yet more much than a musical brew, it’s a journey between places, times, reality and fantasy that cannot leave you unscathed.

I get a sense that there is an intentional increase of electronic/industrial aspects to the songs on this E.P. Less pronounced than Satriani's "Engines of Creation" but noticable nonetheless. So I wonder if this EP, following their awesome full-length earlier this year, is a bit of a studio exploration of some new sounds/technology. Some nice instrumental songs here nonetheless.

Industrial textures and vocals with a hint of gothic melodrama come together on tAngerinecAt''s latest trip to the dark side.

The hard-hitting, genre-agnostic songs on the latest from Dan Webb were inspired by conversations he had with a wide range of musicians.
