Surf at the moon gate, it’s rush hour Nevertheless, I am processed Within 9 months, lying in my nest Don’t be so shy to demultiply Mother heart-like-a-gong beats Something high Breathe and smile, enjoy the blue heights and sights Red blood cells genesis Allow me to live In weightlessness, Mother Earth allow me to fly Something high

Clones 03:17
I found an evidence, that’s why I must take a stance Watching people through the fence, I feel so lonely It’s not a coincidence, as I saw those residents Walking clones along the fence, queuing stupidly Take part of resistance, versus non intelligence Stories of clones’ decadence, never cease to be They draw pink elephants, and sometimes they drop their pants Obey and serve the presidence, stay in front of screens C.L.O.N.E.S are everywhere and maybe Tomorrow I’ll be the wisest fool, getting lost in the crowd I.D.E.A.S. nowadays we don’t have so many Travelling is a risk, kissing is a shame, stay your home, pray and obey Talking of hopes, but dreams lying in pieces, many years to dig out Ditches, hear no words, nor speeches didn’t get your skin like L.E.E.C.H.E.S. Love can be built around sandy B.E.A.C.H.E.S Time to sail away from the peaches
4.
Jailbreak 04:15
Few people know, few people know Few people know what’s on with the inmates Some people show, some people show Some people show me where’s my soulmate Nobody go, nobody go Nobody go inside through the front gate Under the snow, under the snow, Under the snow I’ll plan a jailbreak Lie down, don’t make any move Even hold your breath ‘cause of the smoke Fly in the air, sure -that nobody has to see us there Gate of the jail,-cut the barbed wire and leave no trace No footprints, no words, if we are caught, we’re gonna be disgraced Jailbreak Don’t look back your inmates To the ones whom retained my soulmate To the state who intent to crash your fate To the walls of shame Jailbreak Say hello to the happiness And goodbye to the madness Let’s escape from the nothingness Towards the wilderness If you wanna stay free Travelling with papers so rely on me Dont’ be upset with shadows And let the bad dreams go To the past, from the last, to the next, have a rest, do your best, to the west Keep walking through the forest until you’ll see a nest

Into my big belly mum’s in the seventies Heard the endless River of the Floyds Gave me chills, made me drill, roll me please Like a voodoo child mother rock me free and wild Big bubbles, deep and hazed, dazed Made me dream I feel amazed, raised Psychedelic moods will last for long Now I wanna see by my own Save the Queen ? I think Raj did not save the Queen Drawing pics while I heard god save the Queen Middle finger drew a shape kinda Sistine Sexy are my paintings, naughty are my jokes I was born thanks to my folks Now it’s so close, I touch my nose and bend my elbows Get ready to go out in a place no one knows Who is this girl ? She looks like my twin Please do not reign over us I think she looks like my twin Raj did not save our gracious Queen We wish you a short life our noble Queen Save the Queen ? I think Raj did not save the Queen Please do not reign over us I think she looks like my queen Raj did not save our gracious Queen We wish you a short life our noble Queen Please do not reign over us I think she looks like my queen Raj did not save our gracious Queen We wish you a short life our noble Queen I think Raj did not save the Queen Save the queen

Let me go, let me go, where I wanna go Let me free, let me free, where I wanna be Make me smile, make me smile, again a little while Fly me high, fly me high, for miles and miles Life is a circus everywhere So many things I don’t care Still lying in my chair And nobody don’t go anywhere Let me show, let me show, the only trick I know Let me see, let me see, you want me to be Like a crow, like a crow, flying in the snow For the show, for the show, I’ll get you and go Let me know, let me know, you few years ago Make me love, make me love, with the stars above Hang me high, hang me high, up to the sky Now we fly, now we fly. Hey the crowd : goodbye ! Butterflies, butterflies switch in dragonflies Riding high, riding high in blue blue skies I read your smile, read your smile, every inch a mile In my mind, circus of life is now behind Life is a circus everywhere, so many things I don’t care Still lying in my chair, and nobody don’t go anywhere Let me know, you few years ago Let me go, where I wanna go Let me free, where I wanna be Let me see, you want me to be Like a crow, flying in the snow For the show, I’ll get you and go Make me love, with the stars above Hang me high, up to the sky I read your smile, every inch a mile Circus of life is now behind I said to the crowd : goodbye !

In utero memories
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2nd EP ‘In utero memories’ (2022), is the product of the alchemy of
musicians bringing their rock, electro, jazz and hip hop sensitivity. Expressiveness and aesthetics are at the rendezvous from this album recorded at the MDC studio in October 2021.

The 1st title 'Sex on the rocks' introduces this journey with a mineral encounter, lulled by the sound of the beating waves and lit by a half-veiled moon. The exchanges between the sax, synths and guitar point towards a promising osmosis. The sax solos at the end of the piece twist the genes to materialize a beautiful DNA spiral.

The cosmic serpent of the 2nd track 'in utero memories' twists in the closed triangular space of the uterus. Both receptive to stimuli, it absorbs external waves and transcribes them in the genes of a fetus. This climate of weightlessness transports our prenatal memories towards psychedelic waves from the 70s.

The 'clones' are present and in maximum zombie state in the 3rd piece. Junk officers rule them, strictly following the recommendations of their own superiors. To keep their senses on the alert so as not to fall into their “full screen” psyche.

'Jailbreak', the 4th track of the album commemorates the beings imprisoned by and in their phone. The piece testifies escape from a digital prison. Only imagination and creation manage to file down the bars of this jail.

'Raj did not save the Queen', the 5th track immerses us in full delivery room. “Madam, Sir, I have the pleasure to announce two beautiful fraternal twins", said the doc. Raj on the left and the future Queen on the right. Raj will make it a point of honor not to save his queen. A nod to the London punk community of 80 years.

The 6th and last title finally makes us gain height on a magic carpet, dominating the whole commotion at “altitude zero". A last classy escape from this great circus.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2ème EP 6 titres titres ‘In utero memories’ (2022), produit de l’alchimie de musiciens apportant leurs touches rock, électro, jazz et hip-hop. Expressivité et esthétisme sont au rendez-vous de cet album enregistré à la Réunion.

Le 1er titre ‘Sex on the rocks’ introduit ce voyage par une rencontre minérale, bercée par le bruit des vagues battantes et éclairée par une lune à demi-voilée. Les échanges entre le sax, synthés et guitare orientent vers une osmose prometteuse. Les solos de sax sur la fin du morceau entortillent les gènes pour matérialiser une belle spirale d’ADN.

Le serpent cosmique du 2ème morceau ‘in utero memories’ s’entortille dans l’espace clos triangulaire utérin. A la fois réceptif aux stimulis, il absorde les ondes extérieures et les retranscrit dans les gènes d’un foetus. Ce climat d’apesanteur transporte nos mémoires pré-natales vers les ondes psychédéliques
des années 70.

Les ‘clones’ sont bien présents et en état zombie maximal dans le 3ème morceau. Des gradés de pacotille les gouvernent, suivent à la lettre les recommandations de leur propres supérieurs. Garder ses sens en éveil pour ne pas tomber dans leur psyché ‘écran total’.

‘Jailbreak’, le 4ème morceau de l’album commémore les êtres emprisonnés par et dans leur téléphone. Le morceau témoigne de l’évasion d’une prison numérique. Seule l’imagination et la création parviennent à limer les barreaux de cette geole.

‘Raj did not save the Queen’, le 5ème morceau nous plonge en pleine salle d‘accouchement. «Madame, Monsieur, j’ai le plaisir de vous annoncer deux beaux faux jumeaux». Raj à gauche et la future Reine à droite. Raj se fera un point d’honneur à ne pas la sauver. Un clin d’oeil à la communauté punk londonnienne des années 80.

Le 6ème et dernier titre nous fait finalement prendre de la hauteur sur un tapis volant, dominant l’ensemble de l’agitation à «altitude zéro». Une dernière échapée avec classe de ce grand cirque.
