This song is inspired by the work of Dutch artist/engineer Theo Jansen, whose giant creations crawl majestically across beaches. Don't just look at photos, please watch some video of them. The way they move is captivating. Mesmerising.
lyrics
-Part I: The creation of Strandbeest
-Part II: The life of Strandbeest
Occupied in creating new forms of life from plastic tubing (all mechanical).
Blurring the boundaries in our minds between art and engineering (biological).
They’re born, they grow, they age, they die.
Through time evolve, weathered and changed.
Captivating, mesmerising, walking on the wind.
Skeletons creeping on the sand, inexorably self-propelling (scatological).
Storing air in their reservoirs, pressure pumping piston muscles (respirational).
Stomachs and wings and legs and brains.
Rotating spine, they move in herds.
Striving to equip his creatures with artificial understanding (intellectual).
They adapt to environments, responding well to their surroundings (habitational).
Live their own lives, they self-preserve.
Surviving storms, they anchor down.
Fantasy progressive rock is not something I'd ever thought of. Yet Foreign Land, especially the Foreign Land track itself, transported me straight into an unknown, magical fantasy world. Hakim Zulkufli
BBT are standard bearers for modern prog, with a sound that evokes the spirit of those legendary 70s bands whilst managing to also be thoroughly contemporary. It's astonishing that over 30 minutes of music of this quality, with such high production values, is being made available for free - and their full albums are also very reasonably priced...
