Verse 1 I’ve heard rumors of a blue planet called earth Destroyed by humanoids who didnt know it’s worth You can drop me off there I’m prepared for their atmos- Phere that they pumped full of their poisonous gases Last I checked they had it made - Until their nuclear winter had introduced a plague The description was vague Communication was cut I’ve been gone a long time so I’m trying to catch up Now lemme find what these fools left for me to pilfer I heard they kept clouds in the sky lined with silver or maybe that was sulfur Why did they choose to suffer? Waiting for a savior to serve them their last supper While addicted to uppers - that must have been a downer I’d have left this Mother Earth exactly just how I found her The gravity that surrounds her is pulling us toward her core Now that I’ve landed on this strange planet let’s explore Verse 2 I hit the terrain runnin It was pouring acid rain And I swore that you could smell a Hurricane comin It ain’t nothin i had a shield plus a jet pack fueled by the magnetic field goin Mach speed I see the shape of things A level of devastation that only a desecration of the sacred brings Racing Thru the vapor trails and molten ash You’d think with all their bragging these humans be holdin cash The old assassin in me smelt a trap So I pulled out my blunderbuss with the fire power to melt your cap That’s when I felt a tap and time froze Bathed in light, levitating Was Gaia in a divine pose She spoke directly to my inner peace Reaffirming every element of creation was well within her reach But then I woke abruptly wearing chains I’m still locked up with dreams of a planet that is very strange

about

Tom Caruana - Strange Planet
Out on Tea Sea Records on March 4th 2022.
TC59
Formats: Digital, 2xLP (picture disk, clear/green splatter, orange or black), CD & Cassette.
Artwork by Mr Krum.

Thousands of years ago, a vast armada of spacecraft journeyed across an ocean of stars in search of planets capable of supporting life: to this aim, planet Earth was discovered and colonised. Only now do we begin to translate the recordings of this fantastic historical event…

Strange Planet (OST), the new album from UK producer Tom Caruana (Wu-Tang vs The Beatles/Jimi Hendrix, Son Of Sam) is the result of some of these audio finds.

Amassing an all star cast of solitary space cowboys, Mr Lif, Jehst, billy woods, King Kashmere, Denmark Vessey, Lee Scott, Paten Locke, Confucius MC, Willie Evans Jr, Kosyne, Magestik Legend, Joker Starr, Prince Po, VVV (Juga-Naut, Cappo & Vandal Savage), Boog Brown, Scorzayzee, Dillon, HPBLK, Skuff, Maddy, Skriblah DanGogh and Rup address this planetary good vibe zone.

Intergalactic observations have picked up readings of intense energy waves coming from Earth music, and the musicians capable of producing it are being abducted at an alarming rate. This is a glass onion of an album and there’s plenty of dots to join together. The album is in part a reflection of the times and our everyday lives on this strange planet we live on (everything was recorded pre-pandemic). No one was given a brief to work to either, the tracks (with the exception of Chains and Bounty Hunter On The Rise) just forming themselves. King Kashmere’s track really kicked off ideas for the concept of this collection, so it made sense to open the album with his track Stranded.


Strange Planet takes you on a far out experience, by looking at what’s already right under your nose.

Music wise Tom treats us to an array beats with rich textures, synths, banging drums, old film and radio samples, tinged with melancholia and the surreal. The closest Caruana project in sound to this is his Can sampling Inner Space from 2019.
