lyrics

Avatar

Don't fall away to fate
Waiting on an avatar
You're stuck from divining your future
Any way the cards fall
No, that's not the only way; the needles change

If you fate your world unwritten pages turn
To an ending that you did not write
That's not the only way

G-u-r-u're own
Don't sell your trust for Avalon
Still stuck from divining your future
Any way the runes fall
No that's not the only way; the needles change

Don't you know it's just extensions of yourself
Showing you which way you're facing now
You make the needles change

There she goes, she's flying off to know where
Leaving all she has unguarded and confused

And as she lays your reading down...

I hear that tragic chorus now
You hear them singing?
Refraining your whole life in the round
So what
So what
You won't abide, you can't confide in your riddle no -
If you would just stay in the moment

Do you suppose when she goes off to know where
Leaving everything to happen on its own

As she lays your tarot down...

I hear that tragic chorus now
You hear them singing?
Refraining your whole life in the round
So what
So what
You won't abide, you can't confide in your riddle no -
If you would just stay in the moment
So where's that tragic chorus now
I heard them singing
Just pin that tragic hero to the ground
So what
So what
If you decide you're controlling the rhythm
If you would just stay in the moment

Love it, probably Symbion Projects Magnum Opus of the 2010s, not counting the various side projects he's done. NyxVision42

Contrapasso

One of my favorite Symbion Project albums since it came out. Full of warm, lush vintage analog synth sounds, Contrapasso is like the warm embrace of a lover. Tuukka Junnikkala

Samsara
by INKA UPENDO

Inka Upendo rides a rail running between vaporwave, hip-hop, and soul on songs that are cloaked in mystery. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 2, 2019

Something For Us
by Suzanne Bonifacio

Music from another galaxy; spaced-out, pysch-electronic production with eerie, anti-gravity vocal melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 24, 2016

Semiotic

Perfect videogame music, love the mixture of synths, beats and chiptune. Semiotic is great from start to finish, but Signifier and Concept are standout faves of mine Chris Schmoeckel
