lyrics
TIME IN YOUR FACE
She sits alone at the table, canvas and brush by her side
She doesn´t see hands aligning, waits for the time to arrive
Lifting her brush into nothing, seeking a source of delight
Blossoming somewhere within her, choked by the grey of her life
Here in the dusk, uninspired, hands of the clock ticking round
Dripping from six is the answer that soon will be found
Two drops of ink hit the water, diffuse and meet in a face
Dipping the hairs, strokes the canvas, time now has found a new place
Moving her brush without looking, fixed on the clock up above,
Whilst there, on the canvas, the face of a man that she loves
Suddenly everything changes. Suddenly all of it´s true
From far back in time comes his hand and he pulls her right through
Circus in town. Money thrown down. Spirits rise as one
Dust, fumes, costumes. Crowds, cheers, rats, beers
Cage, rage, stench, then...
Gone
Punch the air and shout, “ Hooray! ”, from the village we shall ride
We shall raise the tent again, but with time upon our side
For the moment of the year, with no populace to please but ourselves
Winding up the tension. Dreams catching fire
Spiralling higher and higher - now´s the time
Troupe has arrived, lights on the ice
She is the dancer and he is the wire
Frozen the lake, mulled wine to hand
Masks on and raiments all fall to the ground
Marron, the Ringmaster:
“ Roll up, my delicious friends! No public for us tonight, as we go beyond wild!
Love begins now! Your frost shall turn to sweat, your woes you shall forget
and frowns replaced by sweet time in your face ”
“ Ahh, look! The Biscuit Ballerinas have arrived,
with someone hidden in their midst... who could it be? ”
“ My word! It’s never too late for the Trapeze Wizards to bring their special person...
We know you’re in there! ”
“ Now, people, make way for our twice-honoured friends:
Canary Lions, and Golden Donkeys, the First Phoenix.
Shyenas, Chameleon Flamingos and the Lady Foxes ”
“ And now, could we please drill an enormous hole in the ice
Animals and un-animals, I give you our binding unofficial: the Giant Carp! ”
So we met inside my heart, and we loved inside my soul
In another life I had, like a sentinel of old
And I’ll carry you, my dear, through the passing of the years - and tonight...
As you throw away your mask in the naked masquerade
The kaleidoscopic dance where we shouldn’t be afraid
For the clocks will always chime,When it’s you that shows the time in your face
Memories at last reappearing
Life shows the time in your face
Just learn to draw out the magic as you trace
There in the dark, inspired, her new heart’s ticking round
Hiding the loving answer which doesn´t need to be found
Lyrics: Dan Bornemark & John Eyre

The new live EP by Ryan W. Stevenson's project reminded me, that this debut album must have been gone down the wishlist... If instrumental Canterbury stuff is your thing, this should be a no-brainer. Firmly rooted in the past (late 60s, 70s), nevertheless with a fresh sound. Guests incude The Tangent's Andy Tillison and Soft Machine's Theo Travis. Carsten Pieper

got recc'd this on youtube and loved it- reminds me a lot of late 60's and early 70's records i used to hear playing out of my parents' stereo on sweltering summer days. OPAL

Mysterious, yet nostalgic, Isolubilia is truly an ode to the romance found in the pursuit of a mystery. Musically rich in turbulence and serenity, majesty and humbleness, this album made me feel both lonely, yet understood as an isolated individual. Perhaps we're all fellow romantics, looking up at the same night sky, trying to wring our own meaning out of the stars. I hope that pursuit never ends. The John
It’s a match made in heaven: Juliana Hatfield tackles the classic ELO catalog on a road that leads to power pop bliss. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 18, 2023
The two epic tracks on the latest from BC group Lakeman are mind-melters, opening slow and pensive before erupting into near-doom metal. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 4, 2022

I'm a recent Sanguine Hum convert and I can't believe it's taken me until now to discover them! This is a simply fabulous album. If you're a Steven Wilson, Anathema or even a Gentle Giant, Jellyfish or Hatfield and the North fan, get yourself a copy. Great musicianship, wonderful melodies, superb voice, top songwriting.
