Artist: GARY LUCAS Vs. THE DARK POETS
Album: BEYOND THE PALE (DIGI)

Release date: 2008
Media type: CD

Gary Lucas, New York Guitar Legend (Captain Beefheart/Jeff Buckley/Gods and Monsters - to name but a few) Teams up with shy British eccentric electronica artist James R. Hunter of 'The Dark Poets' (Cradle of Fear/Borderline etc) For an album that truly pushes the listener to the limits of beauty, horror and aural abstraction.

This meaning “Beyond the Pale” outside the bounds of acceptable behaviour came much later, as did good manners (the absence continues,) now with the etiquette - the one aspect (don’t bend over in a chicken run) decorum , the expectations of social behaviour on the side walk of entrapment, pavement face to face as opposed to safeguarding to shield - some bizarre protection. There is no avoiding the dirt of cart wheels. For the Mothboy who’s windows are bricked up, was it just that he placed himself beyond the pale of society ? So, the only failure is to cease to try - as if he could not please himself, how was he to please his soul ? To be 'beyond the pale' was to be outside the area accepted as 'home', Step to the curb hand reached out, to only stand and deliver, with one for the road, as disgraceful as was day light robbery. Sip slow through the thru lips, as to ease the strain of execution.
