It's about two o'clock
in the morning and our thoughts are being digested by
the daily memories. We reminisce and we sit on the couch,
too relaxed and too tired to get up and brush our teeth.
But we still get up, we brush them teeth and we sink
into the bed. And our bones relax. They feel the soft
touch of our blanket, they feel good, our muscles take
a deep breath with our lungs, and we are ready to be
welcomed by sleep.

That's an abstract description
of this album. But this album is abstract. Well, not
abstract in a three million bleeping noises at the same
time, a drum that never repeats itself, and a flow that
is so off beat, that it gives the track a second rhythm.
This album was done by a musician, although his final
product is very much hip hop, or glam hop or 'blacknewave',
that has nothing to do with the 80's music craze New
Wave. Bizarro is the mind behind these tracks. He produced
them, apart form the additional Eligh, Shu and Nebulus
contribution. And he rhymed on them, to add another
thoughtful, relaxed, melancholy record release to the
Living Legends galaxy.

There's "I
Wont Pretend", where Bizarro does a little
Sade, to go into one of those late night, city light,
echo without repetition vibes, a track that has like
a soft filter, making it tender before it reaches our
ears. There's "Marge vs. Bizarro",
where the Simpsons mom gets sampled for this short interlude.
There's "Wondrin",
a track that relieves itself of any expected format.
There's the possibly dopest track on here "Triple
Stage", the remix, feat. Shu, who kicks the
chorus in Japanese (as much as I can tell). This is
another track that was able to capture sunshine in a
music form.

Then there's the tale
of tapes, the "My Collection
Of Tapes", that everybody will be able to
relate to. This is the sitting in front of the radio,
at two o'clock in the morning and taping what this apparatus
can catch from the airwaves. "3rd
Eye Flies (Freestyle)" is a rather early
90's resembling track, that has Bizarro represent and
manifest in a proud b-boy stance. PSC of the Mystik
Journeymen shows up on "Keep
It Quiet", Grouch on "What's
Next??", Eligh on "Mothernature".

While we duck one meteorite,
we enjoy to have our eyes wander through the infinity
that is space. Space, the word itself reflects the room,
the possibility one has in this three dimensional area.
And without gravity, the brain and mind are not the
only thing that can wander off, that can bounce off
planets, bounce off shooting stars and bounce of the
darkness, illuminated by the sun behind us, and hidden
by the shadow of the galaxy.
