Carsten Pieper In these strange times, I definitely needed some beautiful music, too, among the more raucous stuff, I seem to amount here, to counter the madness of the world (Wladimir Fucking Putin would be name coming to mind...)
Anyways, this is wonderful music. Enjoy it, while we can! Favorite track: Waiting for the Axe to Fall.

Alrihkh An entertaining and well executed melodic prog rock concept album. It has a really good flow to it, with many memorable and interesting moments. I particularly like the female vocals. One of Phideaux’s best, if you ask me. 8+/10. Favorite track: Waiting for the Axe to Fall.

Oddball To me, this is the only Phideaux album that can challenge Doomsday Afternoon. It is as complicated and absorbing, but maybe not quite as perfect. One thing 7 has that Doomsday can't match though is elevation. Infinite Supply is probably my favourite track by the band. Favorite track: Infinite Supply.

WAITING FOR THE AXE TO FALL Waiting for the axe to fall You might stumble you might crawl Don't go any faster, it catches up to you It will pull you down Because of what you know It's true You might be the sum of all Scratching through the firewall Don't go any further stranded out alone I pray for you now Be careful on your own Waiting for the ice to thaw This collapse awaits us all Don't come any closer It's what you're meant to do Follow me out We might just make it through HIVE MIND I was beside you at night on the lines You in a session that shattered the mind Something exploding into your field Some type of omen to you was revealed You and I were talking as if we were alive You were expected to contact the hive something beyond was preparing the siege Wait for the answers we already believe THE CLAWS OF A CRAYFISH Wear away your heart - tear it apart Deep inside your head - broken in shreds Back behind your eyes - emptiness lies The claws of a crayfish, it's true Pose little threat to a shrew But we're lost in a blizzard of sound In hard armoured words we are drowned Hard armoured words we were clucking Like birds having heard but deferred Until the worst had occurred You and I were talking, at least I tried You and I were walking but you seemed to slide Something was pulling you out of my life Something was waiting inciting you to hide Are you free? MY SLEEPING SLAVE I leave you on the way, I have to go You have to stay. And so I walk away I did not want it this way. But he who understands must makes his plans And stand alone when faced with all the proof The living truth, how else to go? Inside what do you find, will it be pain? Will it be cold shame? But know: There is a day, there is a way You can come home. So on and on I stay I'll try to hold on for that day. Be still my sleeping slave It's time to wake up from the grave

DARKNESS AT NOON I am standing by the wire Where there's nothing seen for miles Oh, hold me back against the rain Oh no, feel my feet again On a train of human cargo I was standing in the crush The rush to feel the air against my skin Might never feel that again On the train that brought me here I was separated from you They can drag my body broken But that's all that they can do No I won't Feel the weight of the stone I won't wait Until the ground is my home PREQUIEM I have no fear I have no fear I have no fear anymore

GIFT OF THE FLAME By the ivory coast sits a man In a most angry pose He's wasting away As the buzzards peck little holes There's a boy by a pool Who simply can't move but to drool Staring ever in to a silly grin Trapped beside the pool And across the way There's a man who can't wait His stomach growls and he salivates Never to be satisfied, nor to die Hour by hour I wait for my flower to bloom It's a hideous black mushroom Odious spore of doom And I crouch by the glass In the underpass of the moon Wondering what's in store Beyond my bolted door And across the hall There's a man who just waits He's sick to death and he gives in to Fate Never does he try not to die By the ivory coast sits the suet man Still in chains as day by day The buzzard birds bite bits away And he sacrificed himself Stealing fire that we could tame

INTERVIEW WITH A DORMOUSE Dormouse, dormouse Have you any cheese Or did it melt in the thermonuclear breeze? Dormouse, dormouse Have you any cheese Or did it melt in the thermonuclear breeze?

THE SEARCH FOR TERRESTRIAL LIFE A long time ago I was inspired And now I wonder has it all expired? Past redeeming, numb to feeling Where is any shred of meaning? I don't know why Now it seems like something's missing Years flow the story goes Narration brings the image closer I know, I'm repeating all the same mistakes I am the arm that's bleeding I am the storm that's forming I am the rope that's coiling Reaching for the waiting hand So here I am calling calling calling For a face in the crowd to shepherd me out Lead me down the road I was praying Someone would find my hideaway Yes it's a long climb through rocky crags To my jagged brain Days of waiting waiting waiting For a sliver of sound, cascade and rebound Bring me down I see victory Right in your grasp if you want it to be Always it was lurking Never very far for your heart to see This day it is your day, breaking like a wave In the waters free, taking control If you'd only agree, coming very close It's coming, are you ready? One day the story will unwind You will move past and leave the rest behind Now it's retreating It is clearing from your mind Though you can still feel it pulling You're aligned, there's no returning You are on the way down and down Reach the ground Icy wastes recede, permafrost gone Spring intervenes. Always it was waiting Flung like a leaf down to nourish the tree Far underground where the roots are deep Always around, and watching watching me A FISTFUL OF FORTITUDE I can still feel I can still feel the thrill I can still feel the thrill inside Deep down inside, down inside

LOVE THEME FROM "NUMBER SEVEN" Storia Senti Storia senti Mi nate che hai sentito Non nascondere, il tempo arrivato loso L'storia mente Pavorito, senza luce a morto Sta n'quel mentre, ami lado, sembra vivo Manacia la vita, dove io andaro (Translation) Listen to the story I have a feeling you already know it Don't turn away, I know the time has arrived The story is a lie Scared to death with no light it died But right now, next to me, it looks alive This cursed life, where can I go?

INFINITE SUPPLY The stars in the sky were lonely tonight And so we lit a fire in solidarity The rain it falls the wind will call All things that bring prosperity Take care, take heed, take everything you need This always will be your sanctuary Hey it's me, I'm looking but I don't see Please just explain, what am I missing? You know I try, I keep looking, I don't know why All I need is right before my eyes Oh the size I believe it now, it's immense and wild All this time, lost in the scale of my tiny mind Small and alone, blind and confined If I could see the night Miles out in space the chemicals ignite everything moves, expands and collides But I never knew the universe was wide The stars will feed forever, as decreed Blow dust and seed ever on their way I can feel the sky All of the world covered in life Breeze through the wind with all it provides Showering down it's the infinite supply

DORMOUSE - AN END Dormouse, dormouse: Are you far away? Just a word that you're okay Dormouse, dormouse: How are you today? You're alive and you escaped Dormouse, dormouse: What have you seen? You've been to London or what used to be Dormouse, is it really not there? The taste of sulfur in the acrid air From a world laid bare Dormouse, dormouse: Have you lost your faith? See Jesus' face in the nuclear waste
