Illuminati ~ “Dissolve”

[tinhuviel]

I’ve been busy today. I’ve given myself a severe crash course in Windows Live Movie Maker and produced this, the first of the nine songs that comprised Barry Andrews’ rock project, Illuminati. The Shriekback fans here probably know that name from the back of ‘The Dancing Years’ compilation mapping where all the band members went after Shriekback dis-banded the first time. This is my attempt, with Barry’s permission of course, to save this music from extinction and bring it to everyone who has wondered what on Earth Illuminati was all about and why had there never been any music produced by the band? Well, it was never officially released. I think that James did a remaster of it and had it available for a short period of time on the old Digital Conspiracy site, but that’s gone now, so here we have it. I’m waiting to get the rest of the songs transcribed so I can be consistent with the clip below.

Let me know what you think of this song. I’m very curious to know as it’s my favourite out of the collection. And pass it on to everyone. All you Shriek fans need to rally like we did in 2000 and get the word out that Illuminati is finally going to emerge. It’s been a long wait and we all deserve it, don’tcha think?

I’m now calling it a day and am going to engage myself on a date with Death. Archibald Cunningham, that is. :D

I love everything about Illuminati... I was one of the fortunate few who got the CD from the Conspiracy. I think that "Invisible" is my favorite, although "Eurydice" is probably a close second.

Do you have an actual lyrics sheet, or did you just listen obsessively?

B gave me the 'Dissolved' lyrics in 2001 'cos I wanted to learn how to sing it for a Bardic Circle that was coming up. He sadly does not have the rest of the lyrics and because I suck at transcription, there's a couple of folks who are working on the songs for me. If you'd like to help, I'll definitely give you credits. :)

I'll think about it. I tried to decrypt "Invisible" some years ago, but gave up...
