The Broken Surface

Pop


Song Info:	Recorded at Kalinkaland Studio, Frankfurt/Main, Germany All Instruments by Löwy/Javelin except: Stratocaster played by Mike Burn & 12 String Guitar played by David Lee Howard; Guitars recorded at Mike Burn's Studio, Frankfurt/Main. This Song is Part of the LP 'Broken Surface' by Ion Javelin (ex-Moskwa TV) & Harald Löwy (Chandeen). Released: 1/2003 More Info: www.IonJavelin.com Review by Rick Munarriz, Miami, Florida, USA ( mp3.com/ParisByAir ): Like a match struck in the fog, Broken Surface is an illuminating tune draped in thick melodic layers. Ion Javelin and Harald Löwy lay down some silky smooth tracks while Mike Burn and David Lee Howard pepper the song with top-notch guitar work. The poetic lyrics are spoken, weaving in and out of cozy musical bed that's laid before it. It may be a broken surface, but it certainly does not need fixing. Review by Ken Trancus, Fayetteville, North Carolina - USA (mp3.com/Ken_Tancrus): "This track is amazing. The amount of space between each instrument gives it an airy, live quality that is the perfect juxtaposition to the filtered breathy vocals. I especially like the alternating snare sounds. In close then outside. The guitar accents are in just the right place at just the right time. Truly outstanding. It doesn't get any cleaner than this." CD: Broken Surface Label: Kalinkaland Records (a Division of Kodex Media). Credits: Music by Harald Löwy / Ion Javelin, Lyrics by Ion Javelin.

Lyrics:	The broken Surface (Ion Javelin) I try so try so very hard to get into a shady zone of Central Park but being on my way right in the midday heat a big parade is taking place right in the open street look: the cheer leaders' bodies are made of plastic and they move as if they all were spastic I see their pallid faces - one by one recognize no difference in the hazy sun can't keep control - in this state of mind I sense blindness for the fate of mankind I begin to see it - step by step - the broken surface is a matter of fact I try so try so very hard to get to the other side of Central Park but can't keep control - in this state of mind I see the blindness for the fate of mankind lots of heads keep on talkin' about the overload but do we really travel on a quiet road all this pressure from my head to my feet I feel this city's comin' down on me the atmosphere of down town maybe drives you insane 'cause the city's gettin' crasser every f*****' day I've just begun to see it - step by step - the broken surface is a matter of fact

Mike Burn and his band of friends have been producing the GOODS for years and represent the commitment to their love of the art of Music. Great bass playing by Hartmut Hillman and Kate Cassidy just lives through her expression. Mike Burn is obviously the conduit for all this talent. Well done guys for great music and glad to see you are still topping the Soundlift Chart. visit user website ...

Powerful crunchy guitar chords in a Bachman Turner Overdrive stylee, equally powerful and soulful Tina Turneresque vocals from Kate Cassidy, fluid lead from Mike Burn, and a big band professional production make this a slice of real top quality rock music! visit user website

Mike Burn: You have some very interesting tracks here indeed. You have quite a few different sounding elements throughout the numerous displays of art you have listed here. It would be great to collaborate with you some time. If you have time, please check out my music as well. Take care. Third Realm - visit user website
