Jardin Nippon (Lyrics : Thierry Sportouche/Music: Tim Hunter) A la recherche des mystères de la lumière De la musique des couleurs pures Telles les voyelles coloriées d’Ar-thur Ou les rimes de Verlaine impaires Couleurs chaudes glacées Couleurs froides embrasées Comment transcrire sur le cane-vas Ces émotions qui sont en moi ?   J’ai créé mon jardin nippon Un arc-en-ciel en guise de pont Qui se mire dans l’é-tang De mes printemps De tes vingt ans Jardin nippon, Jardin nippon   Impression sur ma rétin’e Le voile d’une belle ondin’e Créature frêle, Irréelle, Immortelle, Immortelle Silhouette sur ma palette Emmène-moi au loin, Emmène-moi au loin   J’ai créé mon jardin nippon Un arc-en-ciel en guise de pont Qui se mire dans l’é-tang De mes printemps, De tes vingt ans (bis)  J’ai créé mon jardin nippon ,Ad lib Translation: In search of the mysteries of light Music of pure colours Like the coloured vowels of Ar-thur Or Verlaine’s odd verses Glazed warm colours Cold colours burning How transcribing on the can-vas The emotions inside me? I created my Japanese garden A rainbow as a bridge Which reflects into the pool Of my springs Of your twenty years Japanese garden, Japanese garden Impression on my retina The veil of a beautiful mermaid Frail creature, unreal immortal , immortal Silhouette on my palette Take me far away, Take me far away I created my Japanese garden A rainbow as a bridge Which reflects into the pool Of my springs Of your twenty years I created my Japanese garden

Lettre a Theo (Lyrics : Thierry Sportouche/Music: Tim Hunter) J’aimerais Theo te voir Dans ma maison jaune Te montrer ces fleurs qui m’enchantent Alors que je peins la mer Méditerranée bleue Sous un soleil si blond Te montrer ces peurs qui me hantent Alors que je peins près d’ laaaa mer oh Méditerraaaa-née bleue oh Méditerraaaa-née bleue oh corbeaux noirs oh corbeaux noirs Méditerranée bleue Translation Theo, I’d like to see you in my yellow house Show those flowers that enchant me While I paint the sea Oh blue Mediterranean Under such a blond sun Show those fears that haunt me While I paint near the sea Oh blue Mediterranean Oh blue Mediterranean Oh black crows, Oh black crows Tell me, Theo will you come to my yellow house?

Temple Des Druides (Music: Tim Hunter, Lyrics: Tim Hunter/Thierry Sportouche) The religion we once shared It’s not gone – it's still there Down a windy misty path You’ll face the Druid’s wrath Temple Des Druides Don’t do what they forbid You’re gonna pay for what you did Don’t do what they forbid The old order has returned They’re angry we’ve not learned Temple Des Druides, Temple Des Druides And they’re wearing their white robes In the Wooded Grove Chorus: Temple Des Druides Don’t do what they forbid You’re gonna pay for what you did [spoken ] Au milieu du silence et des bois solitaires la nature en secret leur ouvre ses mysteres Les voisins de ce bois si sauvage et si sombre laissent a ses demons son horreur et son ombre et le druide craint en arbordant ces lieux d'y voir qu'il adore et d'y trouver ses dieux Temple Des Druides Don’t do what they forbid Temple Des Druides Don’t do what they forbid The old order has returned They’re angry that we’ve not learned Translation: La religion que nous partagions autrefois N’a pas disparu elle est toujours là Temple des druides, Temple des druides, Sur un chemin sinueux et brumeux Tu affronteras le courroux du druide Refrain: Temple des druides Ne fais pas ce qu’ils interdisent Tu vas payer pour ce que tu as fait L’ordre ancien est revenu Ils sont en colère que nous n’ayons pas appris Temple des druides, Temple des druides, Et ils portent leurs robes blanches Dans le Petit Bois Refrain: In the midst of silence and lonely woods, Nature secretly opens its mysteries to them The neighbours of this wood so wild and so dark leave to its demons its horror and its shade, And the druid fears when he approaches these places to see that he adores and to find his gods there

about

After a two year absence, a new track EP from probably the best Anglo -French rock band since Gong. Refusing to accept the troubling events that seek to divide these two independently minded nations, the dynamic musical duo are back with a collection of quirky, humorous eccentric offerings which are very reminiscent of great 70s Art rock like Sparks and 10cc with a smattering of 70s hard rock (e.g.Deep Purple).
