Imaginary Lines 33

Imaginary Lines 33Released on September 9, 2009

Imaginary Lines 33 is a compilation album which is actually three albums in one. It includes the entirity of two previous releases, Imaginary Lines I in 2005 and Imaginary Lines II in 2007, plus several new and previously unreleased tracks. In all, its 33 songs have a combined running time of nearly two and a half hours.

This album came together when the project’s producer, Ric Albano, decided to abandon the originally-planned “trilogy” of albums because he did not feel there was enough quality material to make an adeguate Imaginary Lines III. Instead the focus shifted to enhancing previously released material and developing the better songs of the unreleased music.

Lyrics
Alright!

Wild child full of grace, savior of the human race
Your cool face

Natural child, terrible child
Not your mother’s or your father’s child
You’re our child, screamin’ wild

With hunger at her heels, freedom in her eyes
She dances on her knees, pirate prince at her side
Starin’ into the hollow idol’s eyes

Wild child full of grace, savior of the human race
Your cool face, your cool face, your cool face
Do you remember when we were in Africa?
