    Message from Dane:

    "It's been a whirlwind of labor to produce and now package & ship this 2LP collection all on my own, as an individual artist acting as a one-person indie record-label. I've tried to reward generous buyers who overpaid/tipped with autographs and letters, but due to the massive workload, no 2LP set has gotten the amount of attention and love as these Signed Artist Proofs have, and my autographs are quite rare overall.

    For these Artist Proofs, I have taken a pause in the production line to spend the maximum amount of effort preparing them for sale this Bandcamp Friday, for just a handful of lucky mega-supporters. They are the only copies of the CCM where I have signed the discs, thus far.

    I hope you'll consider purchasing them as a way to keep this Cosmic Machine's cogs a'turning! This is basically a variation of the Patron-Support model, where you get a sweet reward. With your support, I have more exciting music projects to announce in the near future! Thank you so very much. -dane"

lyrics

Came to achieve, the things that you can not believe
Came to receive, the gift of high philosophy
I came to think, to grow, to climb, to reach the brink
Then jump off- sky high, and float through the abyss or sink
I’m here to be brave, don’t hold your breath - go surf the wave
I’m right to claim whatever’s mine, cause we are all the same
What’s in my brain is not a special key to fame
Life’s insane, I’m just one part of everything that’s made
From allah to brahman I’m awesome – no matter your perception
attacks with weapons won’t collect ya blessings
so don’t shoot the messenger when messages are testing ya
big bang’s blessing ya, the universe caressing ya [BANG!]
shahi qila – 4 billion years of me in the mirror
shahi qila – one thousand years of me seeing clearer
shahi qila – standing tall after hundreds of years of
smoking domes, broken bones, eroded stones, and broken homes

Shahi Qila –
4 billion years of me in the mirror, behind
Shahi Qila -
One thousand years of seeing the light, and still blind
Shahi Qila –
4 billion years of me in the mirror, behind
Shahi Qila -
One thousand years of seeing the light, and still blind

Still blind but I’m strong, the times have come along
To find what’s been hiding in plain sight, to defy wrong
I’m tired of some songs just trying to run on
sometimes the old forms take hold with such might
And it can be impressive, if often it’s oppressive
It’s hard to sum in short the complexity of this message
Intent is, there’s ego worship in the past, that’s true
But with short-term waste, we built things that last too
Like shahi qila – 4 billion years of me in the mirror
shahi qila – one thousand years of me seeing clearer
shahi qila – standing tall after hundreds of years of
smoking domes, broken bones, eroded stones, and broken homes

Shahi Qila – 4 billion years of me in the mirror, behind
Shahi Qila - One thousand years of seeing the light, and still blind
Shahi Qila – 4 billion years of me in the mirror, behind
Shahi Qila - One thousand years of seeing the light, and still blind

Must add that there are asterisks, parapets and turrets
Most shapes were made to stave off those battleships in currents
And in the deserts, yessirs, there were catapults and bullets
In the jungles there were tunnels, tons of bombs and mines were fumbled
shahi qila – 4 billion years of me in the mirror
shahi qila – one thousand years of me seeing clearer
shahi qila – standing tall after hundreds of years of
smoking domes, broken bones, eroded stones, and broken homes

Shahi Qila – 4 billion years of me in the mirror, behind
Shahi Qila - One thousand years of seeing the light, and still blind
Shahi Qila – 4 billion years of me in the mirror, behind
Shahi Qila - One thousand years of seeing the light, and still blind
