Brazil Classics 1: Beleza Tropical compiled by David Byrne (1989, Remaster)

"This was one of our most popular compilations. For a while I got used to hearing this record in cool restaurants and clothing boutiques. The label I was signed to at the time must have not expected it to sell well, because they made a horrible licensing deal such that they lost money on every record sold! Beat that Amazon and Spotify! We were losing money to spread the reach of this music 30 years ago, way before internet businesses learned to lose money in hopes of gaining market share before their investors walked away."

Shadowfax was a Grammy Award winning group which blended elements of world music, folk and jazz. Their later music was often categorized as new age.

Shadowfax was formed in Chicago in 1972 as a blues band by saxophonist Chuck Greenberg, guitarist G.E. Stinson and bassist Phil Maggini. The band took its name from Gandalf's silvery-grey horse in J.R.R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings." During the 1970s they moved to a style heavily influenced by progressive rock mixed with elements of world music, folk, jazz and even classical chamber music. Their early music was characterized by very strong guitar work and a definite rock edge. Their only release in this style was their debut album, "Watercourse Way", initially released by Passport Records in 1976.

Renhard Mey - Sei Wachsam (2009)

An election poster torn on the wet grass
They grin at me, the old watered-down phrases
The faces of old men made to look youthful
Who praise you the Middle Ages as progress
And I think to myself, every step towards the promised happiness
Is a step after forever yesterday, a step back
How they exhort the people to prudence and sacrifice
They call it the people but they mean subjects
All the glue, all the sliming is no longer bearable
When you first learn to translate what they really say
The minister whispered and took the bishop by the arm:
You keep them stupid, I'll keep them poor!

Be aware
Memorize the words!
Be aware
And don't fall for them!
Be careful that you use your freedom
Freedom wears out if you don't use it!
Be aware
Note the faces well!
Be aware
keep your courage
Be aware
And be on your guard!

You turn on the TV, they whine about good old values
Your good, old values are almost always the wrong ones
And those who are kicking around so loudly in the talk round
Are they the ones who trample on all values:
The media mogul and the newspaper czar
The worst goats as gardeners, wonderful!
They call for the crucifix, for customs and good manners,
But her message is nothing but ass and tits.
Brutalization, stultification, violence are the commandments,
Their gods are edition and unit quota.
They bend the truth and twist the law:
So much good old values, really, it makes me really sick!

Be alert...

It's a huge boom for pied pipers
For free riders and bribe recipients,
a time for self-service and profiteers,
Hypocrisy, hypocrisy and job haggling.
And they are all respected and greatly appreciated,
And after the worst places and airfields are named.
You catch the chicken thief, you let the gun smuggler go,
Not a little weed, but you can buy a whole poison gas factory.
Contaminate the air, spoil the land, do the greatest damage with impunity,
Just don't get caught with sit-ins!
You grab the Grünfried, but the environmental pig enjoys trust.
And the police always have to hit the wrong people.

Be aware...

We have a basic law that should guarantee the rule of law.
What good does it do if you manipulate it as you please,
The agitators who always babble about the peacekeeping mission
And already busy rattling your saber under the table?
The old shine in her eyes at the big tattoo,
Department returns, marching in step, a song and home to the kingdom!
"Never again shall there be a war in this country!"
"We have to show the flag, we can't stand aside!"
"Purely humanitarian, of course, and without any bloodshed!"
"Combat missions can no longer be completely ruled out.
They pull us in deeper and deeper, bit by bit.
And since this morning we've been shooting back.

Be aware...

I long for people who don't cheat on me
Who don't lie to me with every celebratory speech,
And spare me the false honest ones
The false honest ones, the real dangerous ones!
I long for a piece of truthfulness,
After a bit of backbone in this crooked time.
But tell the truth and soon you'll have nothing left to laugh about
They will ruin you, execute you and silence you,
Blackmail, bribe, try to buy you.
If you're telling the truth, keep the engine running outside
Then say it loud and fast, because the proverb teaches
Whoever tells the truth needs a damn fast horse!

Be aware...
