2.	Fairy Tale [Analogue Solutions remix] 03:59	lyrics	buy track
In the darkest corner of the outer spiral arm Lived a race of monkeys with a thirst for causing harm Frightened of the sparks It's just a fairy tale It's just a fairy tale It's just a fairy tale It's time to set sail! Giving birth to combustion to chase away the dark Plutonium out of Uranus Frightened by the sparks We crack your skull wide open We're drinking in your thoughts You crack their skulls wide open and feed them to the dogs It's just a fairy tale It's just a fairy tale It's just a fairy tale It's time to set sail! Time to end what we've begun Time to burn down what you've become In your widest deserts we're clawing up the ground We found an astrolabe and a skull that's far too round Bony fingers pointing to the stars and far beyond Why can't you realise that that's where you came from Banging the rocks together! Frightened of the sparks Banging the rocks together! Frightened of the sparks It's just a fairy tale It's just a fairy tale It's just a fairy tale It's time to set sail! Time to end what we've begun Time to burn down what you've become Time to leave your only sun Time to end what we've begun It's just a fairytale It's just a fairytale

I go invisible under your cloak We rock in time on the Southern line I go invisible release the choke-hold Fast and slow the monster grows Safe in light Hide in plain sight Don't lift your head Go straight to bed Stares go through me I'm never there Safe in light Hide in plain sight Don't lift your head Go straight to bed Stares go through me I'm never there I go invisible I go invisible I go invisible I go invisible Locked inside I think you know why Empty your head Quit playing dead Safe in light (Stares go through) Hide in plain sight (Never there) Don't lift your head Go straight to bed Safe in light Hide in plain sight Safe in light (Stares go through) Hide in plain sight Safe in light (Stares go through) Hide in plain sight (Never there) I go invisible I go invisible I go invisible I go invisible I go invisible I go invisible I go invisible (Stares go through) Stares go through Stares go through

about

Irony-free DIY synthpop duo BOO (Battery Operated Orchestra) have unleashed the third music video from their hard, dark and shiny second album Radiation. Directed and shot by the band themselves with their own hand-made visual effects. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeLxpDlJv90

The maxi-single features remixes from Analogue Solutions, Pattern Language, Petra Black and Jan Doyle Band, as well as a brand new track from BOO. Included in the download is a PDF of bonus material including behind the scenes photos and sketches from the production of the album.

"Radiation is about taking our power back. So much of what we say and think has been transmitted to us by other people, but we can transmit right back. If matter is condensed energy then directed energy is potential matter, potential reality. Radiate."

It Hertz! Deluxe Edition
by Katsen

supported by 13 fans who also own “Radiation [Maxi-Single]”

Found KATSEN when looking into electronica\lowfi while working on my own. I quite loved what I'd heard, but unfortunately not in time to catch any physical material. Tried on Bandcamp, and lo! there's Katsen! Love this kind of music, slightly reminiscent of Men WIthout Hats and Simple Minds' REEL TO REEL CACOPHONY/EMPIRES AND DANCE era to me. This is a great collection, and glad to find Play For Today and others as bonus tracks! This is great. Kevin Noel Olson
