An excellent compilation on Ace Records of Cajan music from Loisiana
Louisana Cajan Special - Number One
“1983 (A Merman I Should Turn To Be)”
Hooray, I awake from yesterday
Alive but the war is here to stay
So my love, Katherina and me
Decide to take our last walk
Through the noise to the sea
Not to die but to be reborn
Away from a life so battered and torn
Forever, forever
Oh, say can you see, it’s really such a mess
Every inch of earth is a fighting nest
Giant pencil and lipstick tube-shaped things
Continue to rain and cause screaming pain
And the Arctic stains
From silver blue to bloody red
As our feet find the sand and the sea
Is straight ahead, straight up ahead
Well, it’s too bad, that our friends can’t be with us today
Well, that’s too bad
“The machine that we built would never save us”
That’s what they say
(That’s why they ain’t coming with us today)
And they also said
“It’s impossible for man to live and breathe underwater forever”
Was their main complaint
(Yeah)
And they also threw this in my face, they said:
“Anyway, you know good and well
It would be beyond the will of God
And the grace of the King”
Grace of the King, yeah, yeah
So my darling and I make love in the sand
To salute the last moment ever on dry land
Our machine has done its work, played its part well
Without a scratch on our bodies and we bid it farewell
Starfish and giant foams greet us with a smile
Before our heads go under, we take a last look
At the killing noise of the out of style
The out of style, out of style
So down and down and down and down
And down and down we go
Hurry, my darling, we mustn’t be late for the show
Neptune champion games to an aqua world is so very dear
Right this way, smiles a mermaid
I can hear Atlantis full of cheer
Atlantis full of cheer
I can hear Atlantis full of cheer
I think this is called hitting the ground running. Brilliant album. I like this CD reissue which includes 3 pre LP singles & has great SQ imo. Uniti Core.
Kate Bush - Hounds of Love, on CD, bought c.1985.
Why, because it’s brilliant, and it/she remains unique IMHO. She has had many style imitators over the years, but not one comes close. She didn’t break a mould, she made a whole new one.
Loving on vinyl on the iconic 70 's Ronco label a compilation of Disco
Disco Daze - 16 Giant Disco Hits
Like the look of the new setup QS, looks more spacious with the standmounts, which look stunning.
