charlesandremasse I met Lionel in Montreal back in 2019 or 2020 I think, before the show he was randomly passing through the crowd and I said "Oh Lionel??" Instant charismatic conversation - we spoke about Sorouse from the EP with Chaz from TYM as a big fan of the band. He asked how I would pronounce it and I guessed it would sound like - So[Raw’z] … I was with my friend Nichita, front row to this psychy festival, great memories. I regret not grabbing a beer with you after the show Lionel. ~Sweet soul Favorite track: Ode To Artifice.

jargonium The VHS is like owning a straight movie of dream sequences. Unbelievably grateful to have caught the first concert of the 2023 tour. The live performance is otherworldly! Favorite track: Exopalace.

Adam Balest This LP is blissy AF! It’s like a spa day for your pineal gland. Just push play on this sonic magic and let its erotogenic vibes wash, rinse and repeat. Set and setting? Then make sure you’re snuggling with Vinyl Williams when the dose drops! Favorite track: Exopalace.

We’ve been taking a while to attain the fountainhead Ready for our ascent The songs we sing along to replay what’s in our head Are ready to be embedded Pass along your favorite song to better love oneself Could you heal yourself? Wear a new skin to reveal within Could you heal yourself? To wash away what the water saves I’ve been taking so long to redeem what’s in my head Making a world within Install a protocol to believe what’s in my head Coming around the bend Pass along your favorite song to better love oneself Become harmonized with every center, ringing bells Could you heal yourself? Wear a new skin to reveal within Could you heal yourself? To wash away what the water saves We have to wait so long We have to commit As we’re running in circles I’m glad we met today Could you heal yourself? Wear a new skin to reveal within Could you heal yourself? To wash away what the water saves

Beaming 03:35
Vibrating strings passing through our hands Eternal bliss will resonate the ones who let it Vibrating strings passing through our hands Eternal bliss will resonate the ones who let it All that's inside is the same as the stars Sparks spinning light as a self-expression Release the heart's domain Listen within, we are passing through your hands We're transforming to resonate the ones who let it Vibrating strings they are passing through our hands Eternal bliss will resonate the ones who let it All that's inside is the same as the stars Sparks spinning light as a self-expression Release the heart's domain If all the large is made up of the small Nature divides in continuation Release the heart's domain Release the heart's domain All that's inside is the same as the stars Sparks spinning light as a self-expression Release the heart's domain If all the large is made up of the small Nature divides in continuation Release the heart's domain Release the heart's domain Release the heart's domain Release the heart's domain

Exopalace 03:49
We are to find what is unseen Never ever walking away Earth is inside of everything To say we are all one thing We are to find what is unseen Mirroring the thoughts that we make Love is inside of everything To make all the stars in space Fitting on the palm of your hand The stars in space Fitting on the palm of your hand If you will allow for focusing we can be endowed to go within If you will allow for focusing we can be endowed to know Your life is in your hands We are to find what is unseen No giving up or walking away Messenger to our reveries To make all the stars in space We are to find what is unseen Mirroring the thoughts that we make Love is inside of everything To make all the stars in space Fitting on the palm of your hand The stars in space Fitting on the palm of your hand Your life is spinning around to make a world of your mind Within our life's rotations we will all manifest (Your life) If you will allow for focusing (Your life) we can be endowed to go within (Your life) If you will allow for focusing (Your life) We are to find what is unseen Mirroring the thoughts that we make Love is inside of everything To make all the stars in space Fitting on the palm of your hand

Modern Arch 03:43
Two stars on the back of your hand connect you instantly Travel to another time The stars at the edge of the land emit all history The safest hour is at no end

Paracosm 03:50
There is a song that activates into the air It bifurcates from listening Walking on air You are aligned Never defined by someone outside of yourself You are inlayed with orbital planes That link up to let feeling in Your fortunate gaze is fixed on the screen Reprogram our fables, emotional greed Paracosm, free depths of our brain Uncoil a new road stretched too far to equate You are aligned Never defined by someone outside of yourself You are inlayed with orbital planes spinning around You are aligned Never defined by someone outside of yourself You are inlayed with orbital planes That link up to let feeling in You are aligned

You don’t want to hurt no one You must accept your own world You cannot desert no one You must recharge your own soul You can only be the one Who can give life to the world Play for your soul to resonate On the brink of the edge we’ll emanate in space You don’t want to hurt no one Relax inside your own soul You can only be the one Who can repair your own world Play for your soul to resonate On the brink of the edge we’ll emanate in space While somebody learns to sing out of tune Somebody learns how to sympathize
7.
Telaculum 04:57
You receive from your heart what you give to your soul Worshiping the way that you want to for incredible reasons A place where feeling’s always allowed You never impart what you inwardly don’t admit The safest way for us is to pass through We want to create a place where feeling’s always allowed You receive with your heart a palace for worshiping A place where feeling’s always around you You better believe it Faster still the sun is coming up to let you see what level lies ahead Faster still the stars are coming up to let you see what we were wondering Extra velocity towards self illumination Savor everyday It is bountiful for light to shine within Made of everything, your self is a ray that shines on me Oo, sacred earth You receive with your heart a palace for worshiping A place where feeling’s always around you You better believe it Faster still the sun is coming up to let you see what level lies ahead Faster still the stars are coming up to let you see what we were wondering

Is it just our human nature that we are the painters of our thoughts? We can rise into mirrors at the size of the sun, our precious star As are all the stars above me, spinning on within me, as they are We could dive into secrets that provide our local sun, our precious star In the way that space connects you, moving through the vacuum of the all Inside, there are places you could find that lead to self-reflecting worlds All the rings around are tracing liquid into light speed for the cause We could fly without sickness in our mind & break the self-simulation We have no time to wake up our minds Time bends, breaking our self’s design Time bends, balancing on the line We are wishing to protect you, charging you with light hues of the dawn Your sight is the image that arrives within the sun, within the stars As the aces intersect you, feeding you with vacuum potential You arrive in the palace in the sky up near the sun, our precious star We have no time to wake up our minds Time bends, breaking our self’s design Time bends, turning all wrong's to right Time bends, brace yourself for life Time bends, balancing on the line Time bends, breaking our self’s design Time bends, turning all wrong's to right Time bends, brace yourself for life Time bends, balancing on the line

Saturnalia 03:36
Time to see without a lens Vitamins of anuerin Time to see what’s all right there Time to become more aware As you’re living life for it Odysseys of Saturnalia Soon the process will express it’s form We are wishing all necessary change It’s in your relationship to the sun We are wishing all beneficial revelations It’s all relational to the center The true center Time to see, become aware As you’re sleeping on your bed Time to see what’s all right there Time to become more aware As you’re living life for it Policies of Saturnalia We are wishing all necessary change It’s in your relationship to the sun We are wishing all beneficial revelations It’s all relational to the center The true center You’ll look out for love As soon as another day can let Soon the balance will express it’s form As soon as another day can let

Dream House 03:10
We are allowed to get away We are allowed to safeguard We turn a house into a dream Our dream Bless the world you are a citizen of You’re on the brink of a breakthrough We know you can think with your heart
11.
Faster than an arrow moving by you Faster than a flame We can bend our ways to go to the places that we need Faster than a rainbow moving at you Faster than a plane We will dowse the real world with the energy it needs So we can all be free All of the world We will transform New forests and new everything To give us what we need So we can all be free Faster than an action lost without you Faster than a train We will ask the miserable to believe in their own dreams So we can all be free All of the world Is like a pearl Our artifice is our neglect To give us what we need So we can all be free Generate fascination All of the world We will transform New forests and new everything To give us what we need So we can all be free All of the world Is like a pearl Our artifice is our neglect To give us what we need So we can all be free

Hyperbolic 05:07
Mirror house of the soul When the sun goes down, we'll know Delicately absorbed No rushing there, move forward Mirror house on the hill Where the pavement's grass reveals curving steps over you If a fountain's dream comes true Ask, you'll receive it For your love must have an edge Now embrace your own and offer it a place to play Arrow of the abyss Paving lights & sounds from a wish Guide yourself by the myth Let the secret sounds exist For your love must have an edge Now embrace each other’s opposite For your good must have an edge Now embrace your love and offer it a place to play Offer it a place to play Place yourself in the world Where its rings are stretched outward Hyperbolically formed By a mystery, it’s born For your love must have an edge Now embrace each other’s opposite For your good must have an edge Now embrace your love and offer it a place to play Offer it a place to play Ask, you’ll receive it
