Base Lionel 05:01
He stood atop the rock with his arms oustretched and knees slightly bent. His face wet with sweat, glowing in the light of the fire. His feet moved apart until they were at the position ten to two. He began to arch his back and slowly move around the circle painted into the rock. Was he growling or croaking? 'Magnetic electric, charge! Charge!' 'Magnetic electric, charge! Charge!' From her viewing platform on the opposing hilltop she could see these strange movements from this strange man on this strange summer night. The megascope pointed towards the sky at an angle not many would consider wise. Pointed it was straight towards the Child of the Sun. The meddlesome mystic atop the rock clearly acted with devious intent. The yowling and jeering grew louder as the transit quickened. Looking back into that great glass eye she saw a sight fit for no fit mind. Now it was time. The crafty bastard had failed. 'Lyra! Consider the egg, A gift! Distant Giant, Your dark winds blow!' Her shrieking filled the sky. The creatures of the wood offered their own: 'Pharasma! Ibra! Neptune!' 'Idari, the Renewal! Teotichuacan, Pyramid of the Sun!' As quick as the the call rose it died. A silence for the ages filled the air. She collapsed, grinning. Not many successes could she call her own. But this. This was something she would take with her forever into the beyond.

It has no place here Faint light slowly figures its route An ache as deep as the roots Tearing limb from limb Awakened by The blossoming red A crippling haze Falls over us Hold back Let it be My inner is sacred My inner is flawed Cavernous and grim Stone pillars crumble from within

about

Base began as a re-imagining of a couple tracks from Prospice but when it came to it we just wrote a new song and jammed a version of Meridian.
We managed to squeeze in a couple days of recording before Scott moved to Germany and these are the results. It was a chance for us to hang out, shoot the shit and have some fun making music after being apart for the last year.
Base Lionel started with the intention of being an acoustic version of Pluto and as soon as we started we felt what we were doing was different enough to become it's own independent song and that's what we have here. . We decided to look forward and do something new.
Meridian was rearranged for guitars, synths and vocals (as we didn't have Paúl with us) and recorded live. We changed the harmony in the outro but other than that it's much and such the same. A peaceful meditation on a few chords.
