Weitere Informationen vom Distributor:
Novo Navigatio (New Journey) is the Abstractions' third release of innovative and cutting soundscapes. A walk through minimalist instrumentals to pointed, political poetry. Noise to a collective chaos of "vision music" that consists of a colorful orchestration of vocals, saxophones, guitars, percussion, strings, electronics and emotion. The Abstractions are all about serious musicianship and not. It is an open-hearted invitation and provocation.

Lyrics...

Media & Money our deMOCKracy// So absurd sad surreal/ Schwarzenegger is our governor/ where the fuck should we run for?/ Schwarzenegger is our governor/ mega-media-marketing stars get the pay-off once more/ Droned and drugged by TV celebrities/ Californians are pathetic in their warped reality/ great to see the Terminator terminated/ my very real bloodbath fantasy/ media and money, this is our democracy/ why argue? why expect integrity?/ He's got charisma, and so did Hitler/ The people have spoken.--M.Sturm

Christian Bush// Bush is a Christian/ didn't ya
know?/ He's got that good Christian glow/ With White
Christian American/ in the palm of his hand/ at his
command/ causing limitless bloodshed/ in other
lands/ Bush is a Christian/ didn't ya know?/ His
prayers are answered/ with no corporate foes/ Enron and
Exxon and he/ share the same priest/ Jesus'
simplicity/ isn't part of the current beat/ But they're
Christian/ We're all Christian/ We agree on
that/ We're Christian/ As long as they're Christian/ I
see where this is going... / Keep the church
nearby/ White America abides/ proper moral killing
resides/ Cause the Devil is NEVER inside/ Cause the
Devil is NEVER inside/ It's over there/ It's over
there/ It's over there.--M.Sturm

Take Yourself Seriously// I take myself seriously/ So
others take me seriously/ Seriously/ Take yourself
seriously/ This is serious/ Art is serious/ Life is
serious/ Success is serious/ Money is serious/ Craft is
serious/ Style is serious/ It's serious/ Very
serious/ I'm getting to where I'm going/ I'm getting to
where I'm going/ I'm almost there--M.Sturm

The Routinization of Modern Life// Monday and
Wednesday I teach/ Tuesday and Thursday and Saturday I
go to the gym/ This is my life, my life/ Tuesday and
Thursday and Friday I have band practice/ Sunday and
Monday and Thursday football/ This is my life, my
life--M.Sturm

Who killed Desiree Brown//Shifting softly into
silence/ slipsliding gracefully into the
night/ Exploited by shades of darkness/ she
fell-down-down-down/ Who killed Desiree Brown?/ Who put
Desiree/ Deep down in the ground/ Who broker her
heart?/ Who hurt her mind?/ Who left her all alone to
die?/ Who killed Desiree Brown?/ Desiree came
undone/ Living fast, dying young/ A life so filled with
ecstasy/ That's why it's such a mystery/ Who killed
Desiree Brown?/Stabbed her with a knife/choked the
breath of life/Sent her to an evil place/666 carved on
her face/ Who killed Desiree Brown?/ Don't come knockin
at her door/ No one lives there anymore/ Rumor says
She's hell bound and won't be saved/ Who killed Desiree
Brown?--Philip Everett
