A tongue in cheek song about alien abduction, along with a drink infused dream. What is the reality? Complete with some good prog and vocals over the 6/8 section from Jazz Lambe. On the intro of this piece I have sampled (with his permission) Zap Niles voice. Zap puts together and presents an internet podcast called ProgScure! He was kind enough to give me some air play last year from my first release.Part of the inspiration for this was watching a TV program about it where some people, who were convinced that they had been abducted by beings from another planet.
The jury is still out for me!
lyrics
Celestial Light
Listening To the Radio, On my way, from a show
I saw a shining light up in the sky.
At first I thought it was a star.
Or a satellite, from a far
Moving so fast, it caught my eye.
What is this light?
Up in the Sky
Desert site 51.
Celestial Light.
The radio on with a song, still wondering what was going on
Keeping my eye upon this glow.
Zap was playing progressive sounds
As the light descended slowly down
Somewhere up ahead just off the road
What is this light?
Up in the Sky
Desert site 51.
Celestial Light.
As I approach, the wooded place,
I could feel the light upon my face
Shining through the trees just up ahead.
Beads of sweat upon my brow
I stood and looked at it now
Feeling like my legs were made of lead
What is this light?
Where does it lie
Desert Site 51.
Celestial Light
A Blinding Light, No more could I see
I could feel something cold, hanging onto me
They lay me down, on some surgical bed
Straps on my wrist, and straps on my legs
Pains of shots, I felt on my arms
I was hoping these beings, wouldn’t do me some harm
I tried to rise up, but they kept me down
Consciousness Left, without a sound
In a daze I tried to fight
The Voices from Celestial light!
The next I remember, I was in my own car
Feeling strange, from this ordeal so far
The Light had gone, back into the night
I continued on home, just watching the skies
When I got home, I fixed me a drink
Settling down, to recall and rethink
When I awoke, some hours it had been
Realising it was, all but a dream
I was wondering in my mind
Celestial lights I hope to find

With its debut album, this young band from Vienna follows the footsteps of honorable Austrian prog masters like "Matter Of Taste". The music on this concept album is not of the kind I'd call particularly innovative - it travels pretty much on well known roads paved by many others long ago. However, these youngsters do it in a highly pleasant way, skillfully avoiding the pitfalls of pseudo-progressive phrase rehashing most of the time - certainly more successfully so than several of their experienced grand paragons of prog.
