Boney M – Bahama Mama Original 12″ Version

Thanks to the senders of the many emails regarding Boney M. I am merely a fan providing the magic that they alone have created (eyes down.) As for posting the “big hits” – relax kids. I’ll get there. The point is, they are more than just Ma Baker and Rasputin.

Respect to Frank Farian and all those crazy Germans that played this stuff.

Now…have you heard the 12″ of Bahama Mama? Now you have.

Boney M – Felicidad (Margherita) 12″ MAXI single

One of my personal favorites of the Boney M MAXI singles is this very extended piece of disco fun. Incidental percussion provides detail to disco. Don’t you think so? Discuss. When they are well played they literally flavor the sound. Latin incidental percussion? – my favorite flavor! (as many of my friends will tell you.) This mix features some really amazing timbale riffs and the ultra “high-waisted” sound of disco castanets. ¡Cielo!

Malaika, nakupenda Malaika
 Angel, I love you angel
Malaika, nakupenda Malaika
 Angel, I love you angel
Nami nifanyeje, kijana mwenzio

Nashindwa na mali sina, we,

Nashindwa na mali sina, we,

Nashndwa na mali sina, we
 I am defeated by the bride price that I don’t have
Ningekuoa Malaika
I would marry you, angel

Boney M – Silly Confusion (MAXI Single)

Boney M – Silly Confusion

BONEY M MAXI VOL 2

Meet me on the moon very very soon
Meet me on the stars Jupiter and Mars
Fly me to a star
Burning out in space shining on my face
Fly me through the night on your Silver Wings
Over crystal seas Valleys of the Kings
By the lilac shore where the dragon flies
In the diamond skies
Silly Silly Confusion
And tangle of wild illusion
We’re living in a wonderworld of fantasy
We spent all our times in sweet living dreams
It’s a Silly Silly Confusion
Like a flower of wild profusion
You can do the things in life
You always wanted to
Within your heart you know it always will come through
Take me for a ride in your Dream-Machine
To a time and place where no one has been
Let me look upon worlds I’ve never seen
In your Dream-Machine
Fly me to a star burning out in space
Let me feel the light shining on my face
Sail on solar winds sail on silver birds
Through the universe
Silly Silly Confusion…
It’s a Silly Silly Confusion…
Silly Silly Confusion…
It’s a Silly Silly Confusion…
Silly Silly Confusion
Silly Silly Confusion

Beyond – Daft Punk

Dream, beyond dreams.
Beyond life,

you will find your song.
Before sounds,

to be found,

close your eyes.
And rise,

higher still,

endless thrill
To the land of

love beyond love.
Come alive,

Angel eye, forever watching you and I.

You are the night, you are the ocean.
You are the light behind the cloud.
You are the end and the beginning.
-The world where time is not allowed-
There’s no such thing as competition.
To find our way we lose control.
Remember, love’s our only mission.
This is a journey of the soul.
The perfect song is framed with silence.
It speaks of places never seen.
Your home’s a promise long forgotten,
It is the birthplace of your dreams.

Ares AKA Mars

Ares_Canope_Villa_Adriana_b

Ares – The Greek God of war. A scary being. Listen to what he inspires…

This is the most terrifying music I own.

“Mars – The Bringer Of War,” is the second movement of the orchestral suite, The Planets. It was written in England by Gustav Holst between 1914 and 1916. Bernard Hermann can thank Gustav for many of his most famous motifs. This version is the acknowledged contemporary standard – The Chicago Symphony Orchestra directed by the great James Levine. I suggest lights out, volume up, helmets on and mind wide open.

BEYOND – Daft Punk

Dream, beyond dreams
Beyond life you will find your song
Before sound, to be found close your eyes
Then rise, higher still, endless thrill
To the land of love beyond love
Come alive and you’ll find
Forever watching you arrive

You are the night, you are the ocean
You are the light behind the cloud
You are the end and the beginning
A world where time is not allowed
There’s no such thing as competition
To find a way we lose control
Remember, love’s our only mission…
This is the journey of the soul
The perfect song is framed with silence
It speaks of places never seen
You hold your promise long forgotten,
It is the birthplace of your dreams
