Notes[edit]

Thumbnail of original photograph listing on eBay
  • Track times are from the actual start of mixtape, excluding NTS ident.
  • U# marks unidentified tracks with their according numbers as used in community.
  • Artwork is a vintage 1970s photograph of a band playing at the Tomorrowland Terrace in Disneyland, California.
    • The source photograph was listed on eBay as "Square Vintage 70s PHOTO Disneyland Music On Stage Cement Granite Rock Performs".
    • The band in the photograph is playing under a coke sign.
    • "Cement, Gravel, and Rock Co." is the name of the act on stage.
  • Hajime Tachibana - XP41 was co-written by Mark Mothersbaugh from Devo. [2]
  • Hot Day In Pimba and Mood In Motion were sourced from Vinyl Factory Mix 10: Django Django (Library music special)
  • Illusion remix is using multitrack stems from Grace Jones - Slave To The Rhythm and Imagination - Just An Illusion. Previous track, a rendition of Non Passa Piu, might be based on a bass riff from Slave To The Rhythm bass track.
  • Mixtape seems to follow a game of associations in which tracks contain references to each other, wether in titles or context. Example: 35,000 Feet is a song about Challenger disaster. Following track by Big City Orchestra is off the album called Things Fall Down. Next track by Fausto Papetti is either a reference to Fausto Veranzio, a pioneering scientist and inventor of a parachute, or a reference to Fausto Caceres, Big City Orchestra collaborator[3], host and operator of the decades-long running Shirley & Spinoza Radio show[4].
  • Multiple tracks were sourced from youtube channel Vinyle Archéologie.
  • Sped up edit of Egberto Gismonti track at 01:04:46 that plays alongside the sample from Man Who Skied Down Everest documentary can be returned to its original speed by resampling to 8849 Hz (8849 m is the height of Mt.Everest).

Lyrics[edit]

0:03:31 - coL - This Flat Earth[edit]

Am I still...? Am I still...?
Am I still breathing?
Am I still dreaming?
Am I still here?

I think I know in my head
But not my head that does the thinking
The place where my mind shuts off
And my spirit only tells me to go

I've got to make it real
I've got to bring the show
'Cause I'm living in the time where people's words don't mean a thing

So, of course, you're not gonna realize
Or simply believe my eyes
When I tell you that I'm part of something bigger than
Anything that I'm presenting hеre and now

Oh, baby, have you seen good times in bad ground
But that's no rеason, no reason..
To push your ship off the edge of this flat earth
'Cause we're only living by and getting on by
Our weakest links' imagination

So if you've got some of them tears that will lay these stakes
Well share them, share them
They're not just on TV, they're not just two other people
They already know what you're talking about

'Cause we're still burning
Yes, we're burning
And we've got to shed off this skin
Of what we thought

Words, how to begin..
'Cause we're only starting to begin

0:09:20 - Killing Joke - Unspeakable (Demo)[edit]

(It's come!)

Facts and figures - the clocks turn backwards
Facts and figures turn anticlockwise
Many signposts leading to the same place
I wonder who chose the colour scheme - it's very nice

Unspeakable!
Unspeakable!
Unspeakable!
Unspeakable!

Keep running 'cause it's nightmare time
Every direction leading to the same place
I wonder who chose the colour scheme - it's very nice
I wonder who chose the colour scheme - it's very nice

Unspeakable!
Unspeakable!
Unspeakable!
Unspeakable!

Unspeakable!
Unspeakable!
(Wow, wow, wow, wow)
Unspeakable!
Unspeakable!
(Wow, wow, wow, wow)
Unspeakable!
Unspeakable!
(Wow, wow, wow, wow)
Unspeakable!
Unspeakable!
(Wow, wow, wow, wow)
Unspeakable!
Unspeakable!

Unspeakable!
Unspeakable!
(Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow)
Unspeakable!
Unspeakable!

0:13:49 - Victrola - Maritime Tatami[edit]

His house had wood and ashes as a floor
With the whole of the abyss below
His face is like a mango
His feet stink like a fisherman's

He lives the life of the boat people
But his heart beats for the city above
His father fishes lobsters
His mother is a whore
She sees the face of the million people

Among the wonders of the town
She feels the earth when it is still
Or if it's quaking with the heat

Born from the watеr
Only to be damned
Born from the watеr
To run away for ever more

Tatami has lived his fifteenth circle
His eyes have seen the colors of the depth
He wants now to walk afloat

He takes his little boat with the dragon's sail
While the sea is smiling lazy
He ploughs through the eastern ocean
And the waves are friends of his

Should he reach the main land
Or stay still on the shore
To watch the waves in a clear perception
To stay away from the abysses' lure

His new age is built on the ashes of the town
The selling of his body
In the warming of the lights

His new age is technology's damnation
His inner depths darkening the lights
Darkening the lights

Born from the water
Only to be damned
Born from the water
To run away for ever more
For ever more

Born from the water
Only to be damned
Born from the water
To run away for ever more
For ever more

For ever more
For ever more
For ever more
For ever more

0:20:53 - Flayer - Wanna Get Back Your Love[edit]

I knew it
That it had to end some time
And I'm feeling
Kind of lost deep down inside
Yeah
And I know why
Feelings they are gone inside
I took my time
It's your love I have to find

Driving fast
Feeling down
I confess
I'm about to lose my mind

Baby
Wanna get back your love
Reach me
Feel me
Wanna get back your love

Hold up
Hard to think it's over now
Don't give up
Try and get it back somehow
Yeah
I can feel it
You and I we'll make it now
We worked somehow
We're both coming closer now

Slow it down
Don't think twice
I'm turning 'round
Let's try and break the ice

Baby
Wanna get back your love
Reach me
Feel me
Wanna get back your love

Je t'aime
Je t'aime cherie
Je t'aime a me toucher
[?]

Reach me
Feel me
Wanna get back your love
Love me
Touch me
Wanna get back your love
Reach me
Feel me
Wanna get back your love
Love me
Touch me
Wanna get back your love
Reach me
Feel me
Wanna get back your love
Love me
Touch me
Wanna get back your love
Reach me
Feel me

0:25:14 - Doxa Sinistra - The Other Stranger[edit]

Excuse me but my name is Williams.
OK, you said you wanted to talk, let's talk.
You have the girl. I want her.
As you can imagine, we're concerned for her safety. We want her returned.
huh?
huh?
We gotta get her back!
When she is safe, you will be safe.
huh?
huh?
That's not difficult, is it?
Just keep your mouth shut.
We are in deep trouble.
Maybe these guys are bluffing, but maybe they're not!
That's what you don't know!
That's what you don't know!
Don't you think we ought to call the station?
What for?
Just to let them know.
Know what?
Give it a bit longer.
Just follow instructions to what you're told.
I got 300 hot screaming kids waiting to see Leo the lizard.
Yeah. He ran off with some whore. It happens all the time.
Sounded like a crocodile.
Like uh, imitation crocodile?
That's what you don't know!
Doctor said you should stay in bed.
The final clue came when I saw her in the red satin skirt.
She walked towards me. Her hips waved a happy hello.
Then I noticed the run in her black silk stockings and I knew I was on the right track.
Well we worked with lasers.
Why don't you quit the violin music.
Give it a bit longer.
Why don't you quit the violin music.
Give it a bit longer.
Why don't you quit the violin music.
Give it a bit longer.
No they didn't!
No they didn't!
I know he would never do something so wicked and god is my witness.

0:31:44 - M. S. Subbulakshmi - Srimannarayana[edit]

Sreeman narayana Sreeman narayana
Sreeman narayaaa nee Sree padame Saranu
(Oh Sriman narayana, I surrender to your lotus feet only.)

Kamalasatee mukha kamala kamala hita
kamala priya kamalekshana
kamalasana hita garuda gamana Sree
kamala nabha nee pada kamalame Saranu
(You are like the Sun to your lotus faced consort Kamala. You are dear to your consort Kamala. Your eyes resemble lotus petals. You are dear to Brahma the creator. You move on Garuda bird. Your navel is like lotus. I surrender to your lotus feet.)

Parama yogijana bhaga dheya Sree
parama purusha paratpara

tiru venkatagiri deva Saranu
(You are the final destination for supreme sages. You are the supreme personality. You are transcendental. You are the supreme soul. You manifest yourself even in the tiniest atom. Oh Lord of holy Venkata hill, I surrender to you.)

0:40:50 - Jupiter Prophet - 35.000 Feet (Challenger's Theme)[edit]

(transcript by breachtones)

Satellite laser beam crossed my path
it nearly knocked me blind, it nearly shut me down
maximum altitude seven miles high
that's 35,000 feet

Look up into the sky, not down under the ground
no reason to ask him why
a candle in the sky, like rockets in legs
it climbs to the end of time
never stopping to let them cry

She's a flower in disguise, but the kittens on run
and the army sold the guns
once upon a time, i fell into a dream
and nobody wondered why

A satellite laser beam crossed my path
it nearly knocked me blind, it nearly shut me down
maximum altitude seven miles high
that's 35,000 feet

Once upon a time, i fell into a dream
and nobody wondered why

Slip into the clouds and across the sky
never stopping to let them cry
a candle in the sky like rockets in his legs
it climbs to the end of time
a candle in the wind like a storm on the run
it never lets them die

0:44:39 - - Minute Maid Bing Crosby orange juice ad[edit]

Trees, it's beautiful!
It's from the Minute Maid orange juice grow.
Hey, we can squeeze our own Minute Maid.
Oh no, no, no. Makers of Minute Maid they don't just squeeze one kind of orange and call it Minute Maid, ohoho noooo.
What they do is combine the juices of different oranges for their very special taste.
Not too tart, not to sweet. Always just right.
And it's a 100% pure.
No preservatives or additives.
It's Minute Maid there's no doubt about it!
reversed (there's no doubt about it)

0:45:43 - Devo - Shrivel Up[edit]

Well, it's a god-given fact
That you can't go back, no you can't go back
It's a god-given law
That you're gonna lose your maw, yes, you're gonna lose your maw
Well, it's a god-given fact
You gotta buy 'em by the sack, gotta buy 'em by the sack
Well, it's a god-given law
That you're gonna get small, yes you're gonna get small

Maybe just another rap
But you're running out of sap, yes, you're running out of sap
Well, you'd better take the rap
Dying under daddy's cap, dying under daddy's cap

Shrivel up

It's at the top of the list
That you can't get pissed, no you can't get pissed
It's rule number one
Living right isn't fun, living right isn't fun
Cause it's a god-given fact
That you can't go back, no, you can't go back
It's a god-given law
That you're gonna lose your maw, yes, you're gonna lose your maw
Time-tested and true
You gotta pooty, poo-poo, gotta pooty, poo-poo
Well, it's a god-given law
That you're gonna get small, yes you're gonna get small
Maybe just another rap
But you're running out of sap, yes you're running out of sap
Well, you'd better take the rap
Dying under daddy's cap, dying under daddy's cap, now

Oh, shrivel up

Shrivel up Devo!

0:48:41 - Stefan Zauner - Billy Miller[edit]

Empty walls and nothing's moving
useless time lies in the corners
not a sound to start a thought
strips of sunlight slowly leaking down the door
And the window holds no sight
except a sky that has no room

Billy's lying on the bed
and the clothes he wears feel strange
but he's lately getting used
and just for habit he flips through the magazine
he's read it many times
so he knows it word by word

The blurred photo shows a childs uneven smile
another young girl like your next-door neighbor's child
and she got raped as darkness settled on the park
the man had soon been found
and he was sentenced to eleven months of jail
He'd always been a decent man

A young man in bitterness
a senseless fist and legs that cannot walk
lonely in the silent crowd-cussing at his woman's open grave
The driver of the other car
thoughtfull father to a happy family
had caused the fatal accident
running a red light when driving drunk
He can afford to pay the bail
A sheriff in New Mexico shot a J. D. on the run
three shots were to be heard
but no one knows which was the deadly one
in the end the matter was delayed

And again he has to read the short notice in the back
"Billy Miller tried in court for possessing drugs
and habitual drug abuse
sentenced to five years in the county jail"

And Billy leans back on the wall
and recites the words he's read
like a prayers worn out terms
that need no explanation to those who know
No you don't need to explain to those who know

0:54:24 - These Trails - Garden Botanum[edit]

Here the spider lily
Speaks a spindled poetry
Ginger blossom seems a messenger
Antherium lends an ear to them all

Starry starry jasmine fall
Across a garden wall
Day lilies yawn, to slumber til' dawn
Comes in- da so dim

Sunflower bow her head
She fanes to wilt away
Night blooming seriously
A silhouette, she's fading faintly

Madame magnolia sitting prim
Upon a dappled limb
Spathyphyllum standing slim
In a shady glim- shadow dim

0:59:22 - Pauline Oliveros - Bye Bye Butterfly[edit]

The track is using an aria "Un bel di, vedremo" from Giacomo Puccini opera Madama Butterfly

Un bel dì, vedremo
levarsi un fil di fumo
sull'estremo confin del mare.
E poi la nave appare.
Poi la nave bianca
entra nel porto,
romba il suo saluto.

Vedi? È venuto!
Io non gli scendo incontro. Io no.
Mi metto là sul ciglio del colle e aspetto,
e aspetto gran tempo
e non mi pesa,
la lunga attesa.

E uscito dalla folla cittadina,
un uomo, un picciol punto
s'avvia per la collina.
Chi sarà? chi sarà?
E come sarà giunto
che dirà? che dirà?
Chiamerà Butterfly dalla lontana.
Io senza dar risposta
me ne starò nascosta
un po' per celia
e un po' per non morire
al primo incontro;
ed egli alquanto in pena
chiamerà, chiamerà:
"Piccina mogliettina,
olezzo di verbena"
i nomi che mi dava al suo venire.
(a Suzuki)
Tutto questo avverrà,
te lo prometto.
Tienti la tua paura,
io con sicura fede l'aspetto.

Translation:
One good day, we will see
Arising a strand of smoke
Over the far horizon on the sea
And then the ship appears
And then the ship is white
It enters into the port, it rumbles its salute.

Do you see it? He is coming!
I don't go down to meet him, not I.
I stay upon the edge of the hill
And I wait a long time
but I do not grow weary of the long wait.

And leaving from the crowded city,
A man, a little speck
Climbing the hill.
Who is it? Who is it?
And as he arrives
What will he say? What will he say?
He will call Butterfly from the distance
I without answering
Stay hidden
A little to tease him,
A little as to not die.
At the first meeting,
And then a little troubled
He will call, he will call
"Little one, dear wife
Blossom of orange"
The names he called me at his last coming.
(To Suzuki)
All this will happen,
I promise you this
Hold back your fears
I with secure faith wait for him.

1:02:04 - Egberto Gismonti - Jardim de Prazeres[edit]

Pular a bandeira
Pular a bandeira bordada
Pular a bandeira bordada de seda e estrelas

Dançar a ciranda
Dançar a ciranda do sono
Dançar a ciranda do sono perdido na noite

Rodar no balanço
Rodar no balanço do mundo
Rodar no balanço do mundo de sombras e
Cachaça

Guardar o segredo
Guardar o segredo da lua
Guardar o segredo da lua afogada no poço

Translation:
Jump over the flag embroidered with silk and stars
Dance the circle dance of sleep lost in the night
Spin on the world's swing of shadows and cachaça
Keep the moon's secret drowned in the well

1:05:08 - Horrific Child - Frayeur, Angoisse[edit]

The track samples a song "Chant avec cithare" from "Burundi : musiques traditionnelles". The song is part of the traditional Burundian music repertoire and is known for its use of the cithare (inanga) and distinctive whispering vocal style. These songs often reflect themes of daily life, nature, and cultural heritage.

1:10:29 - n/a - Interlude (Casiotone 202 demo)[edit]

All the songs on this recording except for the percussion tracks were produced entirely with the 202 and a little reverb
and some overdubbing of parts. Polyphonic keyboard playing has finally come to a price range any musician can afford. See the Casiotone 202 wherever the entire line of keyboards from Casio are sold.

1:13:58 - Suraiya - Ek Tu Ho Ek Main Hoon[edit]

Ek Tu Ho Ek Main Hu
Aur Nadi Ka Kinara Ho
Sama Pyara Pyara Ho
Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Hu
Ek Tu Ho Ek Main Hu
Aur Nadi Ka Kinara Ho
Sama Pyara Pyara Ho
Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Hu

Dil Ki Baat Labo Pe Aaye Haye
Dil Ki Baat Labo Pe Aaye
Labo Pe Aaye Kahi Na Jaaye
Labo Pe Aaye Kahi Na Jaaye
Aankhon Ka Ishara Ho
Aur Koi Na Chara Ho
Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Hu
Ek Tu Ho Ek Main Hu
Aur Nadi Ka Kinara Ho
Sama Pyara Pyara Ho
Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Hu
Purab Se Ik Badal Aaye Haye
Purab Se Ik Badal Aaye
Aake Chanda Par Chha Jaaye
Aake Chanda Par Chha Jaaye
Dhima Sa Andhiyara Ho
Hath Mein Hath Tumhara Ho
Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Hu
Ek Tu Ho Ek Main Hu
Aur Nadi Ka Kinara Ho
Sama Pyara Pyara Ho
Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Hu.

Translation:
It's just you and me,
By the riverbank,
The setting is beautiful,
Oh, oh, oh, oh...

Words from the heart come to the lips,
They come to the lips but don't go away,
Eyes communicate,
There's no other choice,
Oh, oh, oh, oh...

A cloud comes from the east,
It comes and covers the moon,
A gentle twilight sets in,
Your hand in mine,
Oh, oh, oh, oh...

1:18:38 - Lena Platonos - Αιμάτινες Σκιές Από Απόσταση (Bloody Shadows from Afar)[edit]

Στις εξιστορήσεις της ζωής σου
συχνά ανταποκρίνομαι
με ρίγη στη ραχοκοκκαλιά,
τυλίγομαι σε κουβέρτα πορτοκαλιά,
γίνομαι συρφετός, τυφλός που καταλήγει
στην άκρη του ντιβανιού, του γκρεμού,
ανίκανος στα δάκρυα και στην ποίηση,
ζητώντας άλλου είδους όραση
καθώς είμαστε πια μεγάλα παιδιά
που χρειάζονται πολλά δάχτυλα
για να μετρήσουν τον πίσω χρόνο,
να βυθίσουν μακριά δάχτυλα
για ν’ αγγίξουν τον αρχικό πόνο,
ώστε να μπορούν να διατηρήσουν τη χαρά
Το λέω ξανά,
το λέω ξανά...

Στις εξιστορήσεις της ζωής σου
συχνά ανταποκρίνομαι
με ρίγη στη ραχοκοκκαλιά,
τυλίγομαι σε κουβέρτα πορτοκαλιά,
γίνομαι συρφετός, τυφλός που καταλήγει
στην άκρη του ντιβανιού, του γκρεμού,
ανίκανος στα δάκρυα και στην ποίηση,
ζητώντας άλλου είδους όραση
Τότε μόνο ξαφνικά κι ορμητικά έρχεται η επιβίωση
και με βάζει σε αναγκαστική απογείωση,
με ταχύτητα αμυντική σχεδόν φωτός

Απομακρύνομαι,
μέσα σε θόλο άπειρου ιριδισμού
κι έτσι σε βλέπω, φίλε, αιμάτινη σκιά ενός ρυθμού
Είτε συμφωνείς, είτε διαφωνείς,
είτε βρεθείς σε αφωνία
συμπαίχτη στην ίδια συγχορδία
μαζί με μας,
επώνυμου συνθέτη ενός μεγάλου επιτραπέζιου παιχνιδιού
που μερικοί το ονομάζουν ιστορία
και μερικοί το ονομάζουν ιστορία...της ηδονής.

English translation by neurosurgeon:
To the narrations of your life
I often respond
with shivers down my spine
I curl up in an orange blanket
I am being hauled around, blind and end up
to the edge of the couch, of the cliff
Inept at tears and poetry
Asking for another kind of vision
Since we are now old kids
that need a lot of fingers
to count the previous years,
to sink long fingers
in order to touch the initial pain
so that we can preserve happiness
I repeat
I repeat

To the narrations of your life
I often respond
with shivers down my spine
I curl up in an orange blanket
I am being hauled around, blind and end up
to the edge of the couch, of the cliff
Inept at tears and poetry
Asking for another kind of vision
It's only then, suddenly and forcefully, that survival comes
It puts me into an obligatory takeoff
in defensive speed, almost of the light

I am being distanced
in a dome of endless iridescence
And just like that, I see you, my friend,
bloody shadow of a rhythm
Even if you agree; or disagree
Even if you are found in aphony
Partner of the same chord
along with us,
eponymous composer of a big board game
that some people name history
and others name it history... of delight

1:21:54 - U3 - ? ("soon the queen will come our way")[edit]

On the [hill starts / hillstar it's / hellstar it's] a bright new day
soon the queen will come our way
the [hillside's / hillstar's / hellstar's] a place to share
a place to grow, love and care

1:22:43 - Sinking Ships - Strangers[edit]

Is there someone who can understand the things that he says?
And there was something he once said to me a long time ago
Something I never quite understood
Something that seemed so strange

It seems a long time ago
Such a long time ago
And will things ever change?
No, things don't ever change

Distances mean nothing to him now
He can take his time
The faces all pass him by and he smiles
He pauses for a while
I stayed up late for you last night
I waited all through the night

It seems a long time ago
Such a long time ago

Distances mean nothing to him now
He can take his time
The faces all pass him by and he smiles
He pauses for a while
I stayed up late for you last night
I waited all through the night

It seems a long time ago
Such a long time ago
It seems a long time ago
Such a long time ago

1:25:30 - The Creed Taylor Orchestra - Heartaches[edit]

They're playing our song, dear. Let's dance this one, huh?
I'd love too!
Ouch! You stepped on my foot!
I'm sorry! That drummer surprised me
Oh! *Laughs*
*Giggles*
Wow, we'll have to pay more attention!
Yes!
*Laughs* Here it goes again...
*Both laugh hysterically*
You got em both buckled up good Joe?
Yeah just take up a notch on the girl though just to make sure.

1:26:20 - Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft - Osten Währt am Längsten[edit]

Osten währt am längsten. Der osten währt am längsten
Und der osten ist am besten. Und der westen ist am besten
Der luxus ist im westen. Der westen ist zufrieden
Er leckt sich seine wunden. Und der luxus ist im westen
Doch der osten währt am längsten. Der osten währt am längsten
Der osten ist am besten. Der westen ist am besten

1:40:46 - Colourbox - Tarantula (12” Version 1)[edit]

I'm living but I'm feeling numb
You could see it in my stare
I wear a mask so falsely now
That I don't know who I am
This void that whirls inside me
It's rolling me away
And I've noticed that in other eyes
Time is closing in

But when the thunder breaks, it breaks for you and me
Tarantula, tarantula
Tarantula, tarantula

The future's looking rather grim
In this strange black time
The decisions lie with stupid men
Along with my life
They're choking and they hype at me
Expecting me to fall
But only if I'm threatened
Will the tables turn

But when the thunder breaks, it breaks for you and me
Tarantula, tarantula
Tarantula, tarantula

My world's under a sentence of death
I was born under clouds
When the pressure gets too much for me I bite

1:48:00 - The Elegants - Little Star (reversed)[edit]

1:49:59 - One Foundation - Dance With Us Lord[edit]

When all of the lovers have gathered together
There's a magic in the air
Our hearts are calling to dance with You
You can feel it everywhere

Chorus:
Dance with us Lord
Fill our eyes with Your beauty
Dance with us Lord
To the music of Your love

The light on the stage and the moon in Your eyes
Has enchanted all our souls
The river of love is beating our hearts
As Your majesty unfolds

Chorus

When all of the lovers have gathered together
There's a magic in the air
The felling moves our hearts to dance
And Your love is everywhere

Chorus

1:55:23 - Bruce Haack - Angel Child[edit]

Butterfly soon to fall
All is love, love is all
Tell the world what you know
What you knew long ago
You can fly, use your wings
Touch the love in all things
One is two, two is one
Time of truth now begun

Butterfly soon to fall
All is love, love is all
(Butterfly soon to fall)
Tell the world what you know
(All is love, love is all)
What you knew long ago
(Tell the world what you know)
All is one, one is all
(What you knew long ago)
Angel child will not fall
(All is one, one is all)
God and man, hand in hand
(Angel child will not fall)
Now that we understand
(God and man, hand in hand)
Butterfly soon to fall
(Now that we understand)
All is love, love is all
All is love, love is all
