Solaris Earth Pipeline - Lounge Like You Mean It Hype!


The first S.E.P. CD was cool, but this CD is what I've been waiting to hear someone do. I am stoked about this CD probably more than anything I've ever done creatively, except maybe the yearbook issue of The Confederate Mack back in the day. I'll just tell you right off, you can get this CD for $7.50 thru paypal from solarisearthpipeline(at)hotmail.com. My boy Embryo handles that shit, so you don't have to worry about slack lethargic Raven nature holding you up. You buy this shit, you'll have it within a week, and it's some shit. Hey, here's a track you can download...30-Pack, now on final mix with some cuts at the end, so if you dl'ed the early version, this is the new shit.
In fact, here's a rundown and quick take on the tracks on the CD...
#1: INTRO (you know what the fuck an intro is, and this one features Slayer prominently, as this second CD was originally gonna be called Super Metal with metalhead mindstate, but that changed as motherfuckers started drinking beer)
#2: AIN'T NEVER ENOUGH (this sort of follows the lead of that song "Drankin Wine - Pt. 2" off the first At War With Robots CD, but also is a bit more confidently wild)
#3: UNRAVELED MIND (drugs have destroyed my mind, that's basically the point of this song)
#4: THE HORSESHOE HUSTLER (my voice on this track is fucked because it's kind of a talk-rap style song, but also because I think I had drunk like 19 beers before we recorded this; it's a great story, with surprise ending, and explains my impending stomach tattoo as well)
#5: HARD - PART 1 (I am a redneck stereotype, just like the haters expected)
#6: COMPLEX - PART 1 (I am a white backpacker rapper stereotype, just like the haters expected)
#7: EMPTY-HEADED EMCEES (I think this is one of my favorite songs off this CD, it just sort of fell in place well, and also is the standard story of a dumbass like me who grew up with hip hop, loves hip hop, but hates most of the hip hop he hears nowadays, but still can't ever give it up, so it's self-torture to an extent until you hit those flashes of something feeding whatever it is inside of your dumbass that you love most about hip hop)
#8: BALDHEADS AT THE CROSSROADS (a verse morphed into a song, longhair pride turning into a story for the kids that I tell to the young 'uns after I've gotten drunk at bonfire parties or whatever; figured I'd put it on tape because fuck it, it's what popped in my head that night; avoid all Delilahs)
#9: HARD & COMPLEX - PARTS 2 (I am both, arguing with myself; I fucked around with some different non-standard rhyme schemes in this one, which makes the song kinda daffy at times, but I dig it)
#10: NEW MOON RIVERSIDE (mellow diatribe nonsense, most folks will probably hate it after one listen or call it pretentious or some shit, but this shit brings a tear to my eye because it's as real as real can get, my life no internet jive or CD bling to cover it at all, just too much work trying to provide fake sunshine for my offspring, killing my body off for dollars with no hope of doing anything else until I die or am too crippled to work so I live broke off of whatever the govt. deems is worth my life's labor, or what's left, with social security)
#11: 30-PACK (download it above and hear for yourself - summertime good times country style)

Word the fuck up. I hope you get it and enjoy it. We play our first show in like four weeks, and I can't wait to crack motherfuckin' skulls.

Actually the 30 Pack download is the same old one.
It's a rough mix we posted right after we did it.
I'll throw the new one up in the am.

Peace
