Pavane ondulatoire 02:15
lyrics
Music: Phœte Ondule comme l'alfange, Telle est la mécanique, La mécanique de l'ange, La mécanique de l'ange. Oui mais quand on y pense ! Ondule comme l'alfange, Telle est la mécanique, La mécanique de l'ange, La mécanique de l'ange, Oui mais tout de même quand on y pense !

Stylish Freddy (According to The Bionic Triamese Sisters) 02:04
lyrics
Music & Lyrics: Phœte Voices: The Bionic Triamese Sisters Stylish Freddy, Stylish Freddy (countless times) He rose from nowhere But she’s out there And it’s pam pam pam. He’s got a boozer But don’t lose her ‘Cuz she’s pam pam pam He’s a little boaster So don’t fool her ‘Cuz she’s pam pam pam (Wie Sprechgesang) Mid-night train is ap-proaching And it’s ma-king up for sleep You’ll be clee-ver than a thief Close your ears and cross the Ssh-tyx!

Telephone me 03:45
lyrics
Music & Lyrics: Phœte Voices: Marita Vangen Bratteteig, Kaligan, Stylish Freddy Telephone me I can't wait here 'til my old days Among candles and old portraits About to fade away Telephone me Telephone me Just one word I could save Instead of believin' You'd better run away Telephone me At night I feel worried Flooded by old memories. All those stories And all your glories You may never tell (In the meantime Kaligan says) In the shadow we all know Nobody has ever grown For the stars those want to aim Into dust they'll be aflame. He might be faint, almost dead. Keep your pain and abdicate. But you are not alone You'll find your way back home Across the winds And across the tears Never change your way. Telephone me I can't stand here 'til my last day Surrounded by dismays That will not move away Telephone me Telephone me Forgive me but I can't stare At all your broken dreams Leave your wings away and Telephone me

I'm peacefool (but I'm boring) 03:34
lyrics
Music & Lyrics: Phœte Voice: Stylish Freddy I stray during one night Across a livin' light And see I'm peacefool but I'm boring I'm peacefool and it's cool I'm peacefool and I'm woring I'm peacefool but it's true (Speaking) You know, I was a man for a long years But life was so tired So I tried to change (Singing again) But a fool, is not a fool right here And I've been so glad to hear Life! I'm peacefool but I'm boring I'm peacefool and it's cool I'm peacefool and I'm woring I'm peacefool but it's true (unintelligible German) But it's... true!
5.
Papayu! 03:34
lyrics
Music & Lyrics: Phœte Voice: Papayel, Papayu Alto & Tenor Saxophones: Adrian Hanack Papayel: In the past there's no doubt you weren't the last. Neither bet nor drink you would have lost. You were known for being a sweet talker. Together we went through many small plots. Papayu? Where are you? Papayu? For God's Sake, why did you steal my trinkets? I told you they were mine and not to share. In the rage I grasped you like any prey. And your head tumbled off into your grave. Papayu? I killed you! Papayu! Come Papayu. Come... Papayu. Now old friend I cannot go anywhere. Without you there's no Rome nor Tumbunktu. Listlessness has never reached such summits. And up there, everything does looks so bland. Sacrifice I must say I'd ever thought. But down there, suffering is well enough. From my soul I implore whoever Christ. May this spell, bring you there and give you life... Oh! Oh look at that! Papayu... It's... You?! My fellow Papayu, Papayu... It's you! Papayu: Papayel choleric and pig-headed. I'm back here and won't make endless stories. Poor idiot you've betrayed every promise. For your pride disdain's what you'll only get. Papayel? Papayel: Papayu? (together) Papayu: Papayel? Papayel: Papayu? Papayu: And I'm leavi-ii-ing... (Papayel gromling) Papayel: Papayu!

I Must Be A Robot Chair 03:40
lyrics
Music & Lyrics: Phœte Voices: Lost I can be a ladder. I can be an unknown painter. I can be a preacher. I can be a wobbly tower. I can be a freak show I can be a purple rainbow. I can be a jigsaw. I can be a beautiful travelo. [CHORUS] But I must be a robot chair. I must be a robot chair. I must be a robot chair. I must be a chair (I must be a robot) I can be a pervert doll I can be an endless jungle. I can be your muddle. I can be a fallen angel. I can be an actress. I can be a traveling circus. I can be a walrus. I can be a forgotten princess. [CHORUS x2] [x8] Ro-bot Ro-bot chair [CHORUS x2]
7.
My Little Thought 04:12
lyrics
Music & Lyrics: Phœte Voice: Stylish Freddy J'avais un passé comme s'il en pleuvait And I was afraid by the birds of prey. Then you just arrived on a single day, I still wonder why did I never pray. This is a story of my soul! My relief. You grew as I knew that you will not stay. I'll never forget when you went away. Whispering few last words that I couldn't hear And then you just said that you run away. Now I feel alone and so desperate. No one warms my soul when it's cold and blank! Si j'avais su je ne t'aurais jamais aimé ! At least, I know why I will never pray. Please don't be haughty! Please don't be silly! Would you be mine you my little thought? Don't be so sorry! Please be sehr rough-ly! You will be mine you my little thought.

Journey into a Castrato's dream (Vorspiel) 03:08
lyrics
Music: Phœte, Rachmaninov

Journey into a Castrato's dream 09:57
lyrics
Music & Lyrics: Phœte, Rachmaninov Voice: Stylish Freddy I. The Super-Ego’s Awakening Tout semble être comme un rêve. Everything seems like a dream. Überall ist wie ein Traum. De mes songes suis-je naufragé ? Das ist doch lächerlich! No wait that cannot be real Here must end eternity What else could it be? Wind is dancing with despair I’m losing lucidity I feel something drear Mais qu’aperçois-je au-delà ? II. Inner fears Ciel, Evil roams! Is that you Kaligan? * Whispers and incantations of the Biogenic Conjoined Triplets * III. Blaring ode to a lost hero Siegfried, please help me! My lord, rescue me! He conspires, He’s a liar, Once he knows, it’ll be dire. Siegfried, please help me! My lord, rescue me! Siegfried, save me from mob and monstrosities! IV. Until regrets fade away Non jamais tu ne m’abandonnerais Même si l’arbre où nous nous sommes aimés Now is tarrying, May fly our leaves, Where dawn and dusk cry, Where crowns and busts die, Inevitably… Dismays move away Regrets fade away You promised the passion You left it and never forgave! V. Romantisch Impromptu Ich hab’ im Traum geweint Du lägest in dem Grab. Wenn Himmel Flügel haben Damit bin ich eine Träne. Non ! nous ne nous reverrons jamais Tes baisers envolés, lessivés! Die Bilder sind verblüht, Vom deinem Fenster klingt Leis‘ das Lied von Tot und Freud. VI. Hope and Circumstance Les lys sur notre lit Des roses d’outre-tombe Et dans ces miroirs La lumière dévoile Plus que mes mémoires Siegfried c’est toi ! Non c’est Kaligan ! Rien d’autre que moi ! (Screaming) VII. The Fall No, I’ll never hear again Your secrets, all arcane, Buried in nowhere places Kali! That’s not your fault! it wasn’t your! That’s all my fault, it wasn’t your. Überall ist wie ein Traum. Everything seems like a dream. Here must end my fantasies Where else could it be? Wind stopped waltzing with despair I’m losing lucidity Mountains are giving way Farewell clairvoyance Désirs à outrance Les portes se balancent ! But real life is nothing else but a dream A real dream whose you’ll never fall asleep

about

Edgar Phœte was born on November 25, 1900. He was a renowned pioneer in new means of telecommunication, an ondes Martenot player and an unsuccessful writer.

One night he started receiving bizarre signals broadcasted from nowhere and a bit further.
Nobody's ever figured out what they were about so far.
Here are some records being restored by Our Organization.


Our Organization is disinterring very old signals found here and there in order to restore them and bring them to light.
Our Organization thinks all the answers are under our nose but nobody could have squinted enough yet to get them unveiled. Thus according to Our Organization crossed eyes own this world's keys.
Our Organization aims to widen the spectrum of truth, to bring it within anybody's reach and to see what happens.
Our Organization doesn't really know what to say but strongly proclaims everything should be seen.
