Carsten Pieper After an 8 year hiatus the Phideaux is back with an impressive new album between art rock, melodic prog and more (Queen, Beatles, Bowie, to name but a few). A favorite track is hard to chose, as it's always the one I'm listening to at the moment. So I went for the short and catchy Stay With Me. Favorite track: Stay With Me.

DO WHAT YOU WILL Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls All you citizens of the world Come on - Do what you will Come on - Do what you will Welcome to reality we hope you stay This is your choice and you're all okay Mired in a binary of good and bad Give it up for everything you ever had Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls Welcome to reality, the natural world There's a war in Heaven, there's a war in Rome There's a war much closer than you even know There's a war in Heaven, there's a war in Rome Doesn't matter whose side you're on When you come home Welcome to reality it's here to stay No matter how you feel, won't go away Come on - Do what you will Ladies and Gentlemen, open up your arms Creatures of the Night set your alarms Ladies and Gentlemen, do what you will The Whole of the Law, the Thrall of the Thrill Welcome to reality it's all we know Keep your grip onto this rock and don't let go

Hey Humanity 04:13
HEY HUMANITY Hey Humanity Let's take a ride upon the world and feel the dream Hey Reality The odds that we are even here defy belief From the ashes of our fathers And the children of our brothers - I lay down From the numbers we discovered And the bones that we uncovered - I lay down I lay down Hey there Gravity Don't bring me down I wanna fly so much to see Hey - hey empathy Is that a tear up in your eye? Stay dry for me From the monkey to the teacher To silent monks and preachers - lay me down From the mitochondrial mother To Aliens undercover - lay me down Lay me down 'Cos nothing should be hidden And everything forgiven Get it out We're just learning to envision Still not cracked atomic fission And we're all here on a mission It's the damnedest of conditions Let it out Hey Great Mystery The time has come for us to try and find the key Hey Humanity You know the choice is really here What will we be?

DRIVING TO DESTRUCTION You pull so close to the cliff You move so close to the brink The first gear's stuck in the last The exit coming too quick Automoto Animus - Enigmatic Terminus Terminal Tempestuous The wind blows dust in your eyes The danger only increases You hear the wails and the cries The car it falls into pieces The car goes by It's way too late for advice And no one seems to be steering I'd like to think we'll survive But we all know what we're nearing So we just wait for the crash To bridge the gap to existence Who will have the last laugh Long live the resistance And who is coming to rescue me The jaws of life refuse to speak When are we going to be set free A hamster running can hardly be The Road is tough, but so are we Driving to destruction This is something far more furious Driving to destruction This is much much much more serious Automoto Animus - Enigmatic Terminus Terminal Tempestuous We race out of sight, we move out of time The lanes change their sides when there's no disguise Will you torment my life, will you forget the fight Will you give me the ride - and drive drive drive We're driving, driving to atone We're driving into the unknown

Stay With Me 03:13
STAY WITH ME Hey-oh we're falling out to sea - It's reaching out taking everything Hey-oh don't give in and please don't leave me for the tide Stay with me 'til the end of time, don't go away, don't break the line Stay with me 'til the end of time, you know I want you by my side Stay with me til the end of time, don't go away inside I know the end is near - But somehow you're still here And I know some are lost out there But we don't have to play their game So please just stay with me 'til the end of time Together cross the final line Be with me 'til the end of time, please don't leave me behind Just stay with me - Just stay - Stay with me You I want to make you mine, if only I could reach your mind I don't ever want to make a mistake with your heart I don't ever want to take it for granted that We won't start to come apart Hey-oh, I see you wandering - I pull you back again Stay the course now, stay close to me, stay the course now Say you'll always come home And stay with me 'til the end of time, don't go away, don't break the line Stay with me 'til the end of time, please just stay by my side Just Stay with me - Stay with me Don't blow away like the dust declines Don't go away, leave it all behind Don't blow away - Leave it all behind

Charlie Knew 04:04
CHARLIE KNEW Charlie knew a thing or two, all he had belonged to you What about the world outside - Charlie said we shouldn't hide And we said Charlie, Charlie, what do you know? Where did all the innocence go? Charlie knew a thing or two, told The Family what was true Gotta learn to ride the slide 'cos all is fair when worlds collide All is fair when worlds collide But Charlie knew doesn't matter what you do Charlie knew, Charlie knew Yes Charlie knew always someone over you Charlie knew, Charlie knew In his hand he held a stone Rocks will break and so will bones But Charlie knew something always points at you Charlie knew, Charlie knew Yes Charlie knew always someone over you Charlie knew - Squeaky too And when he says “Rise” We rise, we rise Charlie knew – Let's all do what Charlie do Charlie knew

SIREN IN THE STORM I got lost in a storm on a boat with no oar On a sea where I never had been Found my way to the shore not the same as before Now I'm here in the in-between And when the clouds broke Alive, I awoke to a misty world like a dream But I'm fighting the smoke, I could swear that she spoke Who's that spirit guiding me? The Siren waits for me, I think I hear her calling She whispers so silently The Siren I can't see - I know she's out there beckoning me And I wonder who could she be? Now, the storm may be done but the battle's half won And I know I can never be free If I can't find her – there's no hope, no return I just have to dive in and believe The Siren of the sea - I'll swim until she rescues me I feel her presence dawning like a light that rises brilliantly And she smiles so beautifully

ENIGMATIC TERMINUS Driving to destruction down the river moving wildly Driving to destruction and the World turning blindly Driving - I'm driving into destruction Driving to destruction down the river flowing wildly Driving to destruction and the World turning blindly Driving - floating into destruction Driving - driving to destruction Floating into destruction Driving - Terminal Technopolis Driving into destruction – Enigmatic Terminus There is no divide Floating into destruction Watch the car go by – into destruction Driving to destruction – Automoto Terminus Floating to destruction

LEGEND OF MARY JO My name is Mary Jo Buttafuocco And I prophesy the end of everything we know My name is Mary Jo Buttafuocco And the time is closing in, let us now begin In the year 2062 Amy will come for you She will ride a white stallion and lead a battalion And seven score trumpets will sound In the year 2062 Amy's made up for you If she finds you are willing, she will come for the killing 'Cos Amy stands her ground - she won't be put down My name is Mary Jo Buttafuocco And I'll tell you how this ends - my last lament In the year 2062 Amy will come for you She will ride a white stallion and lead a battalion And seven score trumpets will sound 'Cos Amy wants her pound From her souped-up body shop all her Commando's drop And Amy's Army storms through this weary world of form And lions will roar and stalk the corridor She will lead a battalion and ride a white stallion And seven score trumpets will sound 'cos Amy's got her pound Driving down the silver streets, Amy's on the go And fear's a funny thing, just like vertigo And Amy just wants to show the only thing that she knows That she'll survive “I can get you weaponry,” said Amy geared for the show “How 'bout a mass casualty, 'cos life is just too slow Let's make like life is a joke, the Holy Ghost is just smoke...” And Amy dreams of the lights And all the scraps and the fights – but she survives In the year '62 - All this will come for you In the year '62 - Amy will comfort you In the year '62 - All this comes true for you In the year '62 - Amy will come And she will be coming to comfort you In the year '62 - Amy will come for you Driving down the city streets, Amy's on the go And fear's a funny thing, but Amy's ready to roll 'Cos sometimes life is too slow And Amy dreams of the lights, the only thing that she knows Exposed! My name is Mary Jo Buttafuocco And I told you where I stand - and where it all began Just imagine if you will Amy behind the wheel And the world her battlefield And I'll tell you everything I know When Amy gets on the road you must never walk alone My name is Mary Jo Buttafuocco And I prophesy the end of everything we know

about

AutoMoto Animus

I am the Spark before Ignition
I have watched you drive and guided your hand through Chaos
Comforted you in the wreckage
But comfort only lasts so long - and now you must surrender
The road ahead narrows
And there is no detour around the inevitable

Amy rides her stallion - heralding upheaval and rebirth
Charlie knew the stakes - at least that's what he said
Squeaky and the Family all believed him
But now it's your turn to decide
Grip tighter to illusion or dive into the unknown?

AutoMoto Animus
Relentless motion
Accept the collision
Destruction clears the path
At the heart of every ending lies a new beginning
