Dances of old
Set standards to uphold
Weathered, the wise,
with smiles there would preside
Guiding the wild
Young passion, will and drive
Render it tame
Safe, sane and somewhat lame
Yours was the blood that ran through veins that knew no shame
A mountain bursting forth with molten flame
Your soul immense you made short work of all pretence
No common sense could douse your pure essence
Unsupervised
Awake to new desire
Strong supple flesh
To all sensation fresh
Go forth, seek life
If life be appetite
All whims and vice
Permitted, at a price
It's almost free
So sweet, this new found liberty
To do and be just what you want to be
Is it quite as it seems, does it come naturally?
What consequence, as nothing is for free
We form a ring to reenact our Rites Of Spring
Reliving what we were and may have been
We didn't change a thing, nor did we kill the king
Too late we see we were the offering

This is a quite outstanding opus magnus of Mr Thelen and his associate musicians. Musical and muscular prowess meet groove and melody. Highly recommended hypnotic stuff! Frank Hadlich
With their blend of playfulness and graduate-level instrumentation, Dorcha deftly prove that improvisational zeal and conservatory-level precision aren't mutually exclusive. Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 16, 2020
