Roland Orzabal - Hypnoculture

[@MiriamMars]

Mr. Orzabal - definition of a Pure Genius!

[@davidgeerling9871]

IMHO, not on this album unfortunately, cuz it's wild and loud...Maybe check out Raoul and the kings of spain, extended songs and IMHO, it's SO MUCH better !!

[@MiriamMars]

@@davidgeerling9871 IMHO Roland is a Pure Genius, from "The Hurting" to the last for now "Tipping Point"

[@davidgeerling9871]

@@MiriamMars Like I said, IMHO this album is sub par for his genius and no ones perfect, so we can't demand this one to be genius...Did ya listen to the songs I sugested, cuz again IMHO it blows this album of the water ?? I've been listening to a 17 song best of album for a while now and will continue for a long time, cuz as you know, ya just can' get enough !! God bless :):)

kicks ass percussively!

[@danieldillon7458]

Este álbum no tiene ni una canción que sea mala

[@maggysalas7744]

Face those facts, you can't relax you gotta get that train back on its tracks till the morning comes the work is done find your place beneath the sun Rake those leaves as thick as thieves then go and put your heart back on its sleeve till September rain and all its pain dies in vain And I know what you're thinking the world is shrinking in your bones...

[@cabin98]

Can you believe it? This song heavily samples Outro by Dr. Bombay, of all things.

[@aelahn]

reminds me of Albarn endeavours on african rhythms...especially the melodica

[@kendudley3553]

Song Meaning: Because of the African beat and the tribal singers...I thought this song was a tribute to the peoples who suffered during European colonization of the African continent. When Roland sings, I though his words were: Mr. Scratch you can't relax you have to get this train back on it's tracks And I thought that meant a white foreman telling native people to get back to work on the railroad the Europeans were building And then "the September Rains and all that pain - dies in vain" September gave the workers a deadline and there were casualties along the way. Guess maybe I was wrong.

[@trickchack5026]

From the actual lyrics, it looks like you were at least partially right.

[@makeshiftvirus6494]

The song is meant to inspire action

[@aelahn]

I think it's just about .. working. working so hard it looks like the world (life) is shrinkin your bones... like a headshrinker, thematically

[@Putz9]

kicks ass!

[@cyber-dolphin]

Muito bom redescobrir essas pérolas

[@andrezzaparlatore2256]

Um estilo totalmente diferente de tudo o que ja fez! Roland sempre superando todas as expectativas ! Pena que nao tem nenhum video dele cantando !! Maravilhoso como só Roland consegue ser!! E esse baixo?? quem esta tocando??/ Que fantástico!!!

[@lucianaanunciacao3832]

David Sutton é o baixista deste álbum

[@aelahn]

@@lucianaanunciacao3832 nunca tinha parado pra procurar...achava que era a Gail Ann Dorsey, se me perguntassem...

[@emmettogrady3085]

Does anyone know where to access the sample at 1:07? I hear this in a lot of Progressive House/Trance and would love to find out...

[@maggysalas7744]

I like it so much! 😍 Tal vez no esté del todo bien traducida Enfrenta esos hechos, no puedes relajarte Face those facts, you can't relax tienes que volver a poner en marcha ese tren you gotta get that train back on its tracks hasta que llegue la mañana till the morning comes el trabajo está hecho the work is done encuentra tu lugar bajo el sol find your place beneath the sun Rastrilla esas hojas tan gruesas como ladrones Rake those leaves as thick as thieves luego ve y vuelve a poner tu corazón en su cubierta then go and put your heart back on its sleeve hasta la lluvia de septiembre till September rain y todo su dolor and all its pain muere en vano dies in vain Y se lo que estas pensando And I know what you're thinking el mundo se está encogiendo en tus huesos ... the world is shrinking in your bones...

[@alexgauvin]

It got a feeling of the Petshop boys West end girls when Orzabal sings (~2:00)

What? Really?

[@vendingdudes]

I hear what you're hearing

[@fontexfm]

Yeah man! i hear it too

[@carolball5764]

Sounds like Deep Forest to me.. Def got some PSB vibes to it though ..

[@Negostrike]

Deep Forest meets Tears for Fears

[@maggysalas7744]

Yes!! maybe "Hunting"'?

[@andrezzaparlatore2256]

Encare os fatos, você não consegue relaxar/ Você tem de colocar aquele trem de volta nos trilhos/Até que a manhã chegue O trabalho está feito/ Ache seu lugar debaixo do sol/ Junte aquelas folhas tão cheias como ladrões Então vá e ponha seu coração de volta em sua manga/ Até a chuva Setembro/ E tudo essa dor Morre em vão/ E eu sei o que está pensando/ O mundo está te fazendo ficar velho

[@aelahn]

"as thick as thieves" é algo como "como carne e unha"

[@joserojo6717]

bkn,,, etnicoooo,,

[@era783]

Not my favorite song but nothing's to hold from this album...

[@TemptingNoise]

It's purely experimental like. So understandablr

[@TemptingNoise]

This is actually quite creepy

[@luke4djojo]

lmao why

[@wifikraftofficial8645]

Yeah why

[@wifikraftofficial8645]

It sounds sort of alien gibberish at the end

[@TemptingNoise]

@@wifikraftofficial8645 idk why... It's subjective?

[@IHeartNoise]

This was heavily influenced by Deep Forest from what I can tell

[@htagama2155]

OXI...
