Another piece of the Ongoing Construct, this episode from the file of Eddie the Rat finds Pete Martin and friends in a most convivial mood. Because, in actuality, this stuff is surprisingly adrift. That's not a bad thing; I kinda like meandering now and again. And I really like where these pieces wander. Whenever I think an idea has been exhausted, I'm always pleasantly surprised by new insight. This is the sort of abstract experimental album that might well appeal to a more mainstream crowd. There's enough "normality" (whatever that means) to keep the easily distracted from wigging out. And those of us who like to set our minds free from time to time will set sail on this tidal wave of thought. - Jon Worley, Aiding & Abetting

Lip-synching at Zero Gravity

Vaguely molding into deep sustain
and sitting in a picture frame
just sit beneath the sun
and you'll feel your body start to way a ton
in a bubble that becomes your mind
and you'll start to find
that you follow blind salvation


 

'Til Your Gone

You got hung up on a clothesline
while you tried to grow a tail
and you said it's by your won design
and you then began to wail
that you're goin'... 'til your gone....

Well you dodged a horde of locusts
and you gave them all a kiss
and you got a grindstone nosebleed
and you put it on your list
that you're goin'... 'til your gone....


 

Calling Mr. Stratosphere

Fell off my rock into a harder place
Overshot my load then wound up in space
inside melodic massacre and rhythmic decay
what's a boy to do with himself, anyway?

Guy in the mirror held me up with a gun
Prom-queen Delilah and a prodigal son
inside a nothing much notion meaning never and null
couldn't get me through or outta hell

Climbed up the mountain and I sunned myself stoned
underwent certain extemporaneous processes of transformation then went overload
became an ad-man prohphet with an annual fee
blinder's ain't cheap but the roadmap is free
