Here is a new song for December. When Robert sent me the demo about 3 minutes into the song I got a very familiar Beatles vibe. I mentioned this to Robert and he suggested we go in that direction with the song production. This was a lot of fun to make.

Lyrics

Jericho Rocket`s Room

by the river of Klong Karmody
the city of Slicken Zyderzee
in the land of Quandary Quoz
here`s the house made of gossamer and tin
where no darkness leaks in

all the lights are magpies eyes
on a ceiling made of shingles of sky
ragbag sights become sound
in a chair that cures everything
you sit as colorwalls spin

phantasmagorium emporium
meet the chameleon loon
Jericho`s chateaux
floor show with a flambeau
Jericho Rocket`s Room

in his skull Lear and Carroll are back
wearing magisterial hats
magic found the crack in his mind
his hair has madman`s zing
sit back listen to him sing

phantasmagorium emporium
meet the chameleon loon
Jericho`s chateaux
a floor show with flambeau
Jericho Rocket`s Room

Scott / Robert,

That is an excellent song. Love the lyrics, mix and the vocal delivery is great, especially the emphasis on the spoken parts. Very nice work by both of you.

The production and guitar tones are superb. That Dumble patch really comes through.

Loved it all!

Cool and different, and well arranged.
Trademark C&C craziness.
I'll call you the Monty Python of BIAB, and I mean that in the best positive way.
I really enjoyed my listen!

You two make some mighty fine music. This one's a little different than your typical post -but different in a most enjoyable way. I agree with a previous comment referencing Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club cut. Lots of Beatles sounds here.

Good stuff - great listen!

Hey this is really cool guys!

It reminds me of something from the 60s, not early King Crimson but something like that.

Anyway, super production and playing and just a whole lot of fun!!!

Cool. Like Mr Kite went to Strawberry Fields, and was then transported to Solsbury Hill...

Very original and quite inventive in arrangement and production. Playful and very fun to listen to.

Love what you did with this!

Oh, yeah. The SpiritLevel rises to new heights. This is so good. The Beatles are more like Wannabees compared to this production. Haha!! Blasphemy be damned. Serioulsy thought, I listened the other day of YT, and it sounds so good on Soundcloud too. But that video production adds so much. I finally had to open a free account with Leonardo. Thanks.

The charachter voices in here are incredible. Firesign Theatre good.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Spirit Level never disappoints and IMHO this is your best to date.
Super production from start to finish.
Great mix and video.

PS - although I did get a Beatles vibe in sections I thought this also could fit in The Rolling Stones'
Satanic Majesties Request album.


Tips on how to fall asleep in a living room chair:
1- Be old
2- Sit in a chair

Unique and original. Very reminiscent of the latter half of the 60s, which I very much like. Excellent work patching it all together. Sounds great.

Way cool! Lewis Carroll meets Willie Wonka meets the Sgt. Peppers Band meets the Jefferson Airplane.

Very imaginative lyric.
BiaB and Scott are a great team

Fun vocals and well produced audio and vid.

Far out man!

Very colourful, Scott and Robert.
The lyrics are other worldly. Where do they come from?
Imagination running wild. What fun.

Scott and Robert,

This is an incredibly fun video and music for Beatles fans.
The spirit of parody is fully displayed.
It's also full of originality.
I pay tribute to the talent of you two.
Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot.

Best regards.
