Bandas de croosover (01) Senser -Age of panic

Hubo muchísimas y casi todas buenas, esta es de las más desconocidas y me atrevería a decir que una de las mejores por las expectativas que despertó con su primer álbum Stacked up (1995) que ya deberiáis estar bajando de la mula, una verdadera obra maestra (y al que le guardo un cariño especial porque lo compré en Amsterdam) aunque ya en el segundo y último disco perdieron mucho fuelle. El cantante y el batería abandonaron el grupo(formaron una llamada Lodestar, nada del otro mundo) y la chica no supo imprimirle la misma fuerza, como pudimos comprobar en su concierto en la Sala Caracol. Esta canción cantada por ella sola, como que no es lo mismo. Hasta hace unos meses no había nada en you tube, ahora contamos con este Age of panic y dentro de poco voy a intentar subir "Eject" que es otro cañonazo. Desgraciadamente va a ser imposible mostraros "States of mind" primer tema del disco,(pero si vais a poder escucharlo gracias al castpost) un autentico trallazo bailable. Lo que sí tengo es un video oficial en VHS de una hora con bastantes vídeos suyos y una muestra de su potencial en directo. Si lo veis por ahí no lo dudeis ni un segundo A la saca....

Formación:
Nick Michaelson (guitar), Heitham Al-Sayed (vocals), Kerstin Haigh (vocals), John Morgan (drums), James Barrett (bass)

A raiz de este post he descubierto en su página oficial senser.co.uk que en 2004 sacaron un disco con la formación original, y por los ejemplos que he escuchado parecen haber recuperado la fuerza de Obi-Wan

Senser -Age of panic-


My name is crash.
Sidewinding, I flash
like a burning flare.
Don't look away 'cause I'm already in there,
I've been there - wherever you stare.
I've been there longer than you care to remember,
buried deep inside you.
Now you must step to accept all the past behind you.
Pain breeding pain and it's back again,
only the scars in your brain remain
so you look for a vent.
You consent to escape what's gone
and now I'm on.
From the nipple to the needle to the bottle
and you're never satisfied,
for these crimes you must be tried.
You can't hide 'cause I am reality
your birthright is a world of insanity;
disconnected legacy
and you will never see
an end to the global savagery.
Continuing to feed your desire for more
but deep down you know the truth
you'll never find what you're looking for.
It's gone and you can't buy it back
and now your senses are under attack.
So you act automatic
and turn to the frantic
nation of addicts.

Reduced to the manic, false erratic
solemn doped up slaves and servants of greed
because you were -
BORN INTO THE AGE OF PANIC.

Now I'm going all city with the master plan.
I'm faster man and I'm about to tell just who I am.
I am the reality you can't escape
the visions recorded on disk and tape.
The rape, the horror, the shame so familiar.
My words fill you with dread and then kill you dead
Stone cold in your stride,
I fill a hole in your soul around fifty miles wide.
I'm the contradiction each time you speak
I keep you weakened, get down at your feet
I am the part that you can never reconcile
You're right here but you're living in exile
Walking in cities of stone
The shadows groan
Thousands of people but you're all alone
In your own little zone, like a drone
Working in hives all your lives
bowing down to the throne
the overlords made in your own image
anaesthetized you in the global village
now you're finished, dependent
lost in a maze
You're dazed as you stare at the glowing blaze
Erased, your future pulses in a computer
I am you - now how'd that suit ya?
Inherited chaos now instilled as I willed
and now I just wait for the kill
as they're -
BORN INTO THE AGE OF PANIC.
