ATLANTIC POPES INVITE YOU TO LEAVE THE MUSICAL COMFORT ZONE
With the new single "Man in the Moon" they share their kaleidoscopic message in a kind of acoustic drama, atmospherically dense, hypnotic and driving - Expedition Rhythm - primal and visual.
The moon as a cold mirror, casting its pale light to reflect what no one on earth really wants to see.
We are far away and yet closely connected.
This song might be too long, like the path of so many who no longer have a choice. And yet it must be walked.
lyrics
Man In The Moon
Leaving his castle over the dune
Showing up soon, the man in the moon Paying or cancel, good afternoon
The man in the moon, the man in the moon The man in the moon
The man in the moon
Leaving his castle over the dune
Showing up soon, the man in the moon Paying or cancel, good afternoon
The man in the moon, the man in the moon
Animals and boulevards winding up my brain Stranded people everywhere, going for the same Going for the same
Alcohol ist second best, dropping from above Dropping from above
Time has crumbled in the air, like a shredded dove Like a shredded dove
Like a shredded dove
Lioness and millionaire, moaning on a roof Safety is a limousine with windows bulletproof Windows bulletproof
Cruising down the avenue, with a golden gun
I feel like I’m fading...
Beauty, balance, privacy, the beast is on the run The beast is on the run
The beast is on the run
Leaving his castle over the dune
Showing up soon, the man in the moon Paying or cancel, good afternoon
The man in the moon, the man in the moon
Man in the moon, just gone away.. Dropping from above, winding to entertain.. Just gone away, just gone away
Just gone away..
I feel like I’m fading...
Riders on a cannonball, boots are back in town Pillows, blankets, helmets on, it’s time to hunker down It’s time to hunker down, it’s time to hunker down
Ali in the promised land, longing for relief
Winding to entertain..
Omar’s dancin’ in the street, taken for a thief
Taken for a thief
Business on the borderline, a ladder to the stars Dropping from above
A backpack full of memories, close but no cigar Close but no cigar
A smartphone takes him by the hand, eyes are turning blue Eyes are turning blue
May you always do for others, others do for you
May you always do for others, others do for you
Just gone away..
Others do for you, others do for you
Leaving his castle over the dune
Showing up soon, the man in the moon Paying or cancel, good afternoon
The man in the moon, the man in the moon
Leaving his castle over the dune
Showing up soon, the man in the moon Paying or cancel, good afternoon
The man in the moon, the man in the moon
Man in the moon, man in the moon, Man, man, man in the moon
Man in the moon
Just gone away
Leaving his castle over the dune
Showing up soon, the man in the moon Paying or cancel, good afternoon
The man in the moon, the man in the moon Just gone away
Man in the moon, man in the moon
Man in the moon

I have been a fan & Echo Image evangelist for over 20 year. I was excited for this new EP. It did not disappoint. This has all the power and synthpop from early releases like Skulk & the Compuphonic LP. I hope a new LP will come from this. Jeff Burson - SYNTHscape radio program
