The Sounds of Oceania

Firestorm CD

This CD is by the individualist group ELAN and includes a song about an encounter with a dolphin.

The group's music can be described (as it has been by a local critic) as "Rush, where they should have gone after Moving Pictures" -- basically, no keyboard, a lot of guitar/bass interplay -- creative time changes -- precise and virtuous execution -- a multi-octave voice -- a little "heavier" than later Rush -- the guitar playing has been compared to Steve Howe, of "Yes" by several listeners independently -- the kind of thing that one needs to listen to at least 100 times before everything is heard -- Fundamentally happy, positive music, with high energy, interesting textures, and just a pinch of rock-n-roll anger and frustration, from an individualist perspective.

Some lyrics:

Inflame the mist
Embrace the conflagration
Beads of burning moisture
celebrate the dawn

Blinded by the clearing sky
The clarion burst of sunlight
resonating without end

Insistent wind
fans and feeds the flame
Swirling shrieking eddies
race to the sky

Figure in the raging tempest
Flesh of iron from the forge
Brazen gaze of firelight

When the heat subsides
and the hero is cast
deep within the cooling form
remains a burning core
everyday reborn
