every player knows that the queen
can move anywhere
while knights in shining armour
spend half the game up in the air
and castle walls
that once seemed safe & tall
can make prisoners of us all
all you men of god
you just kneel before the cross
while the soldiers
must try and hold their line
and while the old king dreams
of victory in his sleep
the young queen
can simply bide her time
and you see this same game
going on everywhere
and it leads us all to build
dreaming castles up in the air
we all seem to seek
perfect kings and queens so complete
that we’ll never have to look elsewhere
no we’ll never have to look elsewhere
every wooden board
turns 8 X8 into infinity
and some say the game itself
is as old as eternity
but the battle can’t be won
til the last piece is gone
and every day
a new game is begun
and you see this same game
going on everywhere
it leads us all to build
dreaming castles up in the air
well we all seem to seek
perfect kings and queens so complete
we’ll never have to look elsewhere
no we’ll never have to look elsewhere
every player knows
that the queen can move anywhere
sometimes the king
must hang his head down
in despair
cos we all seem to need
kings and queens so complete
that we’ll never have to look elsewhere

"479" is a band formed by the owl Potoo (bass), the fox Valentino Arco (synth), a guy named Hall (noise and sweets) and this album's star Rogelia - a pink-haired girl on drums. You don't believe it? Well, me too, but legend has it. Call it "479", son of "thebeachmachine", Danny Playamaqui, Danny Perez, or whatever you want... it's excellent stuff - some of the most exciting electronica avantgarde on the planet. Sven B.
