Welcome to the sound outside your door
Welcome to the sun that's shining for
You and all your kind, be kind love more
welcome to the world, the world at war

Open up your heart, its cold outside
The tides about to turn there's nowhere to hide
This is not a dream, let freedom ride
Welcome to the sound, the sound inside

Think about his words and what they mean
Things are not a lie, they're what they seem
This is not a cause for which to bleed
Think about the world and what it needs

Open up your heart, its cold outside
The tides about to turn there's nowhere to hide
This is not a dream, let freedom ride
Welcome to the sound the sound inside

Always love it when I turn on RP and you're playing kiwi music - never heard of these guys though!  Still hoping you might play some Fat Freddy's Drop one of these days.

LOVE IT! I thought my player switched to my personal collection instead of the RP stream when this came on. One of the BEST albums hardly anyone has heard outside NZ. Play these tracks MORE. Awesome album.


Agree. Great album. Would be nice to hear other tracks from it.

I think I really like this. Never heard any of Zane Lowe's music before and only know of him as a DJ in the UK.

Has a bit of a Lou Barlow + Snow Patrol feel to it.

Every time I hear this I am surprised how new and yet familiar and timeless it seems. I love the way they play with sound on this track! I've always loved the way the voice intro reminds me of how Traditional Chinese Medicine holds -- and I agree -- that the purely electrical energy held in the heart is dispersed and released into the world upon the death of that organ, and the hyun, or Eternal Spirit, that is moved and stored by the liver, also lives on, because it is magnetic; borne of iron-laden blood -- moving iron is magnetism, and the magic of hemoglobin juggling it is what, I believe, gives rise to the quantum manifestation of Qi, or Life Force (shakti, in Indic traditions), thus explaining, to me at least, the ancient TCM maxim, Blood is the Mother of Qi, and Qi is the Commander of Blood: The pulsing magnetic fields generated and thrown up by the moving iron protect us from withering cosmic radiation and the external fields and vectors of pathogens, IF our blood is rich enough also in oxygen and cobalamin; if not — such as when we are breathing shallowly due to grief, or illness, or imbalance, or if we lack sufficient iron and/ or B-12 due to veganism or other causes — then our "shields" are weak and we may be compromised or invaded by pathogens. Following The Law of Induction, these pulsing fields are in turn converted into alternating current in our nerves, which conduct electrons via the ions of electrolytes (calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium), since electricity and magnetism are interchangeable, and are constantly in transformative and transformational flux, which is the fundamental driving and self-perpetuating mechanism of Yin and Yang; when this process is in balance, all is well...when not, deficiencies and excesses take their toll. When there is excess, tempers flare, arteries constrict, discharges flow into adjacent circuits, and disaster follows... When there is deficiency, there is stagnation, torpor, and atrophy, and the kidneys send signals to the bones to redissolve bone matrix to free up and float electrolytes for short-term energy supply. If not halted or replenished, this chronic state leads to auto-immune diseases and cancer.
Let us strive to find, gather, and fire up every bit of the Love within us, and radiate it, while we can, for though Light is merely the visible part of the EM spectrum, I believe that Love has Infinite Quantum Restorative Power, in this and all realms, seen and unseen. Music is also a powerful magic; it makes me move my iron-laden bones through the Earth's subtle but massive fields, and generates current and resultant quantum effects, not only within me but within the entire Universe. RP and all the music contained in its stream is a most worthy and highly regenerative circuit; I'm glad I'm plugged in!

Chroma Key with Peter Gabriel (a really low-key version) on vocals. Like it, might have to look closer at these Co-ops.

Perhaps its just me but I would love to hear this go into a heavier guitar led section ala Little Black Submarines.  It gets my attention as is but only so as to make me say yeah what do you want? 
Posted 11 years ago by Sloggydog    [ Reply ]
Really diggin' this.  Never heard of them before.  It sounds like a blend of Sonic Youth, Semisonic, and Zero 7.  Niiiice!
Posted 12 years ago by aspicer    [ Reply ]
First time i have heard this or the group will have to investigate. The instrumentation at the start and throughout reminds me of a Sonic Youth song possibly from A Thousand Leaves, one of the quieter ones.

Something new, thats why i listen to RP.

One of my favourite albums (if not the) Thank you for playing it. If you can play it, I would love to hear "A Place For You" from this album sometimes.

I'll do a weird mind stretch, no problem.  But some of the stuff played earlier this afternoon (or whatever time it was on the Left Coast) was obnoxious.
