John Foxx / Robin Guthrie
www.metamatic.com

The ex-Cocteau Twin's Robin Guthrie joins ex-Ultravox John Foxx to create an out-of-the-box album. All the usual reference points are here, so I guess it's time to throw in words like lush, ethereal and hypnotising... How about ambient? Layers of echoes and reverberations are explored on Mirrorball, so that Guthrie’s unique playing merges with abstract, often improvised vocals of Foxx.

Selected Lyrics of the Month...

Porcupine Tree - Drawing The Line

Camphor crossed with lace, it is the witching hour
Cinematic but crude
Teasing all my feelings out, you move away
It seems so natural to you

Still siren, climbing up the victory tower
Like there's something left to prove
I trap the beads of sweat that run between my eyes
And free the fever to move

I'm drawing the line, I'm drawing the line
I'm drawing the line, I draw the line
And I have my pride
I'm taking control, I'm taking control
I'm taking control, I'm taking control
And I save my soul
I'm shutting you out, I'm shutting you out
I'm shutting you out, I'm shutting you out
And I have no doubt

Dreamt the sound of scissors, cutting stitches out
Then discarding the used
Recording all my problems onto memory cards
Your compassion unmoved

Onto others what they always do to you
The most twisted of your rules
Distill malaise and photograph the hole it leaves
Running out a copy for you

Paradise Lost - Faith Divides Us Death Unites Us

Refrain from the way we were
Slain the invincible
Changed are the ways of man
Fortitude to face the path

Chorus
Vanquish the pain
Don't want to see it fail
(Faith divides us death unites us)
Vanquish the pain
Don't want to seek despair
(Faith divides us death unites us)

Tears for a hopeless case
Outside is still so vague
Frayed the landscapes of old
Cleared the indelible

Chorus
Vanquish the pain
Don't want to see it fail
(Faith divides us death unites us)
Vanquish the pain
Don't want to seek despair
(Faith divides us death unites us)

Cannot sleep through darkened skies
Cannot dream until it's over
Cannot sleep through darkened skies
Cannot dream until it's over

guitar solo

Chorus
Vanquish the pain
Don't want to see it fail
(Faith divides us death unites us)
Vanquish the pain
Lyrics Song Words
Don't want to seek despair
(Faith divides us death unites us)
