| The tower to Babylon was built in one voice,
spoken, coordinated, pushing forward the steps to be with God.
As language is godly still. But today with everyone talking,
God can be found more often in silence, between the lines and
only in the words of few. With everyone now using a different
tongue, for their different God. So Babylon did not only bring
separation to the mouth, but also mind, as now the stars look
different to everyone and Ra's not Vishnu, but also not the
prophet Jesus. We got from one to the seven degrees of separation,
with seven being the holy number anyway. |
| The name Spectre contains seven letters. He's
of God. He speaks God, as language in silent compositions. He
let's other speak words, but he speaks thoughts. In many languages
still, him sampling different excerpts from different movies,
gluing the tower of Babylon. The glue being made from wishful
bones, that cracked under the weight of the bass, that were
cut by the timbre of the cymbals. They're at times instrumental,
but they talk like wordsound. |

| The wisdom runs deep. Spectre has
been an architect before. His buildings still stand.
Strong and bare, already weathered before wind and
water touches them. Water on the Sphinx, sand on
the remains. And the echo of the hallways is made
hallow by the bricks. Spectre does not just put
the hieroglyphs on his cover, but also in his way
of recording and the kind of music he does. More
than what meets the tourist guide. Don't expect
your pyramid sherpa to talk about the fingerprints
of the gods. |
| Ask Spectre instead. Or anyone
of his friends. The true oddball court Hofnarr is
called Supernatural. Present on "Hocus
Pocus" (also featuring Black Chameleon)
and "Blazed",
with his words either being coded or maybe more
earthly rambling than divine wisdom. The other sentences
are uttered by Space Poet (on "Dark
Matter") and Honeychild on "Secrets"
as the priests to the deity, in all their blasphemous
power. As for Spectre, his voice reigns the strongest
on the aforementioned "Secrets"
track, which is the soundtrack to a Mummy curse,
as well as on the hard "The
Rolling Force" and the somewhat
standard abstraction of "Treacherous". |
| Nothing new under the sun. The
temple still looks the same. Spectre still writes
in the same book. But a new chapter. And we're very
glad to get to read it. |
