ONE OF MY FAVORITES:
THE DESERT SKIES MAKE MOUNTAINSCAPES IN NEW YORK CITY
A RAINBOW PASSAGEWAY FROM MY WILD HEART
TO TWIRLING
CIRCLING
AROUND METALLIC WINGS & SMOKY WAVES
CHURN TO DARK LOVING SPARKS
THAT CREATE THIS FIRE!
MELTING ROSIN & TASTES OF SALTS
THAT SCRAPE THE BEAUTIFUL SCARS
EARNED IN SURVIVAL OF LONG MORNING DREAMS
THAT LED ME TO THIS SONG
ON THIS DAY
GLOWING FLICKERS IN THE NIGHT
TRAINS THE DANCE
LINED WITH CERTAINTY
WRAPPED IN ARCHING ENDLESS
FASCINATING TRAILS OF HOW MEMORABLY IT REAPPEARS
THOSE PASSENGER CLOUDS
TAKE ME TO THE RIVER
DROP ME OFF BY YOUR SIDE
A HEAVY MASSIVE WEIGHT I LOVE & CARRY
UNTIL I'VE DROPPED LIKE I'VE NEVER WIPED OUT BEFORE
BIT IT SO HARD CLIMBING OVER TREES
MOUNTAINS
ROCK
MIRROR-BALL LAKES
THE GLITTERY SIDEWALK
THE SKYSCRAPERS
GREY GROUNDS WITH PRISMS OF HOME
THAT ALL KISSED MY KNEE
WHEN I DIRECTLY
HAPPILY
FELL
FOR YOU
FAVORITE VISIONS IN MY MIND
HERE'S A SONG TO TRACE THE TIME
WALK DREAM STEPS TAKE THE CLIMB
KISSED MY KNEE
MIRAGE SO FINE*++*+**+*

they picked the cotton that saved the world. that picked cotton propelled u.s. economy; a unique capitalist setup. (though anglo saxon colonizers are not unique.) so many pop stars and hip hop billboard mainstays trumpet u.s. capitalism ad nauseam; or escapism & distraction. "Don't Die," also powerful. "i don't believe they lies. don't believe their truth, need they heads for proof" -- that's direct and powerful. the violinist Saydah Ruz stands out here, i think.

The sole recording from this Brooklyn group, “Service” is hushed and mysterious, its artful songs defying easy categorization.
