It's A Blue Sky Don't Hold No Rain by Alchemeon, from Alchemeon Live In Session Winter 2008-09. * It’s a Blue Sky Don’t Hold No Rain was one of the very first songs that Pok ever wrote. * There are probably not many 17-year-olds who would write such a thoughtful lyric as this. * Pok once described the song as being about “the loss by genocide of the native Americans and general early eco lament di...

Celestine by Alchemeon, from Alchemeon Live In Session Winter 2008-09. * Celestine is a song of several parts. * Sometimes it seems to be in the key of B minor, other times G major. * In the end it resolves to D major. * Celestine is an Alchemeon exclusive, having not been performed by the Spacegoats, nor any of the Masters of Drone bands such as Now or Laughing Sun. CELESTINE Celestine they make...

The Centre of the Cyclone by Alchemeon, from Alchemeon Live In Session Winter 2008-09. * The Centre of the Cyclone is more-or-less in the key of A major. * There is a classic chord progression in the first verses, which is A - Em - G - Bm - D. * This mutates into C - G - D - Am - Em - G. * The final chord of the whole song is an Asus4, which leaves a giant tantalising question mark dangling in the...

The Winged Man by Alchemeon, from Alchemeon Live In Session Winter 2008-09. * The Winged Man is in the key of A major. * It is an Alchemeon exclusive. * The Winged Man was never performed by any of the Masters of Drone bands such as Laughing Sun or Now, nor by the Spacegoats. THE WINGED MAN Heaven knows why but he saved us from the furnace We mistreated his kind and stained his need to see Heaven...

Born by Alchemeon, from Alchemeon Live In Session Winter 2008-09. * Born is in the key of E minor. * It was first performed by Laughing Sun in 1985. * There are many changes of tempo throughout, some subtle, some not. * One of the changes that Jim introduced was replacing two of the B minors with G majors during the main ascending theme. * The main ascending theme is ten bars long, four measures o...

Born Of Stars by Alchemeon, from Alchemeon Live In Session Winter 2008-09. The audio file for this song was plagued with hundreds, maybe thousands, of corrupted waves. These ranged in sound from a very big click at the small end of the scale, to something akin to trousers being ripped when bending over in a Carry On movie at the large end of the scale. The audio file is now massively better than i...
