Purchase this gorgeous CD edition of A Maze And Amazement. The album comes beautifully packaged in a UV-coated cardboard wallet (with spine), and the CD pocket is lined with black felt to protect the disc.
Also includes immediate download of the album's 12 tracks in your choice of 320k mp3, FLAC, or just about any other format you could possibly desire.
This video (the earliest of the three) is set to one of my all-time favorite songs, Solitaire. It was shot by one of New Zealand's most intelligent and talented young film makers, Ed Lust, and is steeped in erotic imagery and tender sensuality.
lyrics
I.
I miss kissing your firm and sunburnt skin, the luscious chills and suggestive grins, the rumbling and hissing of sex and intimacy, your suffocating clairvoyancy.
I could be what you want and all that jazz. I could be all that you want me to be. What we had was impossible to bury and burn. Haven’t you heard? Standing still is death.
II.
A girl is playing solitaire on the game computer there - the high score breached. Reverberations of her voice ping-pong mathematically: “Finally.” A disco ball hangs high above in a corner flanked by dust, turning just for you. Broken speakers call your name, “Congratulations on your game. Here’s to you.”
