Azalean Sea

by Trance To The Sun

supported by

rikm A compilation from one of my most favorite Darkwave bands ever, a collection of songs from different periods, different vocalists, different band members. Despite all these differences though, TTtS maintains a steady and consistent vision throughout, a perfect synthesis of style and sound that makes them truly unique and truly beloved in my mind.

If you aren't already aware of Trance to the Sun, this is an excellent place to start...

This is the original pressing of Azalean Sea (from 1998). The offset printed cover uses Pantone purple and metallic green inks. The CD itself is printed white on silver, like you see in the picture, and it comes with a white tray. The booklet unfolds, and there are track credits inside. The item is new, but there is no shrink wrapping.

1.	Automatic Reversal 05:06	lyrics	buy track
The longer the rain The taller the cloud The fading flower's not so sad as the flames in my back yard The larger the game The heller the hound When we open open open slowly We are so starved Integrity Is antiquity And those of you like you and me my love will truly soon be deceased. Like riding the hand of the towering clock Midnight finds me standing straight, but come half-past, I'm upside down. I'm upside down... August clouds will break the heat inversion Like a moth seeks the ceiling when you burn a torch And I heard that a killer was out there in my driveway Eating a pomegranate while swatting butterflies And drinking gasoline. I'm upside down...
2.	Execution Of The Stars 06:46	lyrics	buy track
The Earl of Grey Rode through my dreams last night On his slave Named September And dangled From his fingers Ten lumps of sugar Ten lumps of sugar (ha!) He said what you need cherie Is a proper English breakfast Hold the cream And hold the honey Bring me whiskey and cigarettes So I raise my glass to you As we celebrate The Execution Of The Stars The Earl of Grey Rode through my dreams last night So I invited him and He made acquaintance with my dolls... Porceline and Plasticene And the One with Red Yarn Hair. He said what you need cherie Is a proper English breakfast Hold the cream And hold the honey Bring me whiskey and cigarettes He said what you need cherie Is a bath with bleach and lemon Hold the glass and look at yourself You dirty girl, you've no right to argue! Oh, don't look now The Cheshire Cat's in your waistcoat pocket One look at you and he'll run away... One look at you and he'll run away... Oh, don't look now The Cheshire Cat's in your waistcoat pocket One look at you and he'll run away... One look at you and he'll run away...
3.	St. Constantine Naked In The Garden 03:55	lyrics	buy track
There is no chasing the past There is no present like the time There is no movement And no moment Just precision Paper lanterns / silent stare Spring garden green and warm Fragile ladies wander there Sipping sherry / crystal goblet Paper lanterns / dolor haze Swing garden gold and lead Malignant stone angels gaze From the rooftops overhead Please remind me again before I'm dead Please remind me again before I'm dead Please remind me again oh-ho I thought I heard you laugh I was creeping on the terrace A thousand things to say But none to tell the way I shudder St. Constant you are cold Silent testament to snobbery St. Constantine stone effigy Never even bought me coffee but Call me to the shadows I'll follow you Say anything my neutron mouth You cannot shock me They hear my a-capella aria Your thanatoid mask face My pain creased brow If I were you my statue I'd be cracking Hopelessly torn No priest has blessed this twitching union Under your fingers Who am I now who will I be? In exactly one minute Or any moment after when the light brigade descends on heaven No cloud unturned There is no alteration Just hesitation To strike with the chisel My silent stone man speaks Like it's inevitable Let's ask him a question Are you singing in silence? I know that you must be The vine entwines this next July and Wine will drown the garden Please remind me again before I'm dead Please remind me again before I'm dead Please remind me again oh-ho Remind me again Please remind me again before I'm dead Please remind me again before I'm dead Please remind me again oh-ho Remind me again
4.	Memoirs Of An Underwater Canyon 05:52	lyrics	buy track
So cold the snow In the fields of April Calm and subversive Surprise when I'm empty Black eyes Chronic shadows Twelve tears for every tower Tomorrow we shall set forth To stumble on your ghost Sleeping in a broken car You should have left the windows up She called you / you found her Shedding tears into a needle Who needs the money worse? The mind is changed pulse fusion fix Girl in red mechanic suit Cries for her lost love And it's not you She's the ghost in your head She makes sense of it all She's the ghost in your head She calls fate's sudden twists In subliminal entrance In expanding formation There's a ghost beside you Now

We Can Take A Walk To My Friend's House She's Beautiful We'll Have Lots Of Fun At Your Expense It Won't Hurt A Bit We'll Even Give You Money For Your Trouble I Know It's Kind Of Inconvenient It Might Sting But Only A Little And If You Ever Get Hungry Don't Hesitate To Steal Your Food I Wouldn't Want You To Starve Now That Wouldn't Be Nice... I Wouldn't Want You To Starve Now That Wouldn't Be Nice... I Wouldn't Want You To Starve Now That Wouldn't Be Nice... Take All Of It And RUN! You've Got It Now... GO!

Don't.... Ever... Die... Before... You are getting what you want in life. Stay, Until You Got all you wanted. Then, when everything is set... You can blow... your brains out.... Nothing Keeps You Away From the pain of not having the one you love. Someday it will be okay in his arms. I know it's love at first sight and, like, you know it's love, still I... Won't ever forget you... Oh I... Won't Ever Let anything take me away from here. Oh I won't. Oh I won't give up 'til... I'll stay until my... True... Life... Is... Broken on the... Rocks of the one I... LOVE. (...I still do...)

Can you believe that in the decade that saw second-wave and atmospheric black metal take shape, the iciest album of the times would come from sweltering Arizona (by way of Iowa)? The album is Cold, it looks cold, and it is bloody cold indeed. AJ
