Alex Smoke – 6am
from Incommunicado (2005) /luminescent minimal techno/
A mannequin antique white hand reaches out, flat in the predawn dimming. The paperthin indigo sky trembles, apprehensive at its approach. Fingers grip and slowly peel the sky backward, corner to corner, toward daylight or whatever burgeons behind.
A break! The slide is open and it all tumbles outward like seven thousand bubbles beneath the ocean. The flowers, balloons and honeydew melons. A bird of paradise, dreams of Uncle Evan’s red hat, lavalamps and ice cream trucks. The darkness of night shredded and scattered in their wake. Gaudy day has come for us all.
Hide the children! Hide your face! Stand in the way of beauty! Go back to your bed and your clownwrought dreams.
I like the whole naming a song of the day post after some of the lyrics in the song. Reading back through the category list is like a motivational phrase cook-off. But what to do with instrumentals? Whaaat toooo dooooo???
