As what has become our ‘norm’, we follow up ‘DANCING WITH ANGELS’ with its revision-counterpart ‘SIGNS IN THE HEAVENS REALITY UPSIDE DOWN’! I am truly blessed to have enlisted this amazing collection of talented and creative Artists, Producers and DeeJays to create their own interpretations of the album’s original 8 songs.

It is indeed a ‘big’ listen, with 27 unique and diverse tracks. As with our other three re-envision releases, it is my hope that you will find your own ‘gems’ amongst … which to my ears are far more innovative than simply adding a ‘dance-club beat’. You will find versions that are completely re-assembled, starting from the original vocal, as well as several ‘almost acoustic’ renditions!

Being we view this release as a ‘sonic continuation’ of ‘Dancing With Angels’, we are fortunate to again have Ms. Maren Platzhoff create the beautiful hand painted art that adorn the cover and the discs!

This limited-edition double CD closes with BIC’s ‘take’ on two special cover songs. Once you see the the double-feature video HERE, it will hopefully make a bit more sense to why I opted for the title of the CD. To be VERY clear, this is NOT a call for violence or a political left or right, democrat or republican, or whatever other label that is put on everyday working-class citizens … but it is a double-middle-finger FU to the military industrial complex and globalists that are hell-bent on keeping the world in endless, senseless wars. Fucking enough.

open your eyes see the lies right in front of you ….
