THE RESTORED
[spoken with sung interludes]
The divinity of Jesus, the Christ, causes crisis from both symbolic and shambolic sides of a very old coin. But if you forget time, as though that was something that can be done from within time, and consider where in this age of science and reason you stand on anyone even making the mildest claim of heavenly parentage and you have a front row seat on that which justifiably might be felt to be hard to swallow.
So hard that even the subject at hand wouldn't bite. "Who is it that they say I am?" is a non-answer to that oft-asked question. And the idea that we're all bonded and bound by similar origin is unlikely to soothe any singularly right-minded people. Then there's all of the post-facto "Where's Waldo?" hoohah.
Which is to say: there are lots of bodies that ain't been found yet.
And there are lots of bodies. And there are lots of people who still see Elvis and like Descartes said our eyes were meant to deceive us. Not saying we are deceived but why origin stories that read like poker how-to manuals. Occam's razor and its dictates and nature push for simple solutions first.
So simply: we don't know. Nor do we know what we don't know. Nor do we know how much of what we don't know we do know.
The inconclusiveness of this conclusion rankles like bad movies rankle. But this is not a movie and wishing it was won't make it so.
Padre Pio? Padre Pio! Bleeding stigmata! Turin! Fatima! Wine! Loaves! Nothing when leavened against planets and endless, endless space. Space without known measure. So let us prey. Let us pray. The endless is nigh. And the tide is high. And there is no we, and that we is very much alone. God help us. God help us.

Love the new record! Their absolute best in my opinion. It's a heavy disaster and a beautiful heartache. The video for "Lovely Murk" is particularly interesting. bartthetruth78
Brain melting. As far as Keiji’s projects are concerned, this is up there with Fushitsuasha - The wisdom prepared. Slow and hazy. Deep bass. The only issue I have is the singing in the last song. I could also see some people getting turned off by the gnarly sax-like thing in the first song. Does not succumb to super group syndrome. A harmonious and psychedelic effort. Almost 70 minutes. tr_🇺🇦
