简介

....SCREAMING at the corporate naming of public spaces, asking what it will take to be truly free, praising the visionary progressive authors and musicians of today and yesterday, turning corporate slogans up side down, speaking of higher commitments inspired by the Bhagavad Gita, culture jamming mainstream advertising and professing deep love. This is Matt Jenson's DRAGONFLY TAXI album. Matt Jenson and the Liquid Revolution is a powerful band built on a rock-solid-reggae-GROOVE foundation. Occupying the first few floors of their unique and inspired house are tight vocal harmonies and blues-rock soloing. The Liquid Revolution falls in line with Reggae’s long mission of revolutionary consciousness-raising by helping to carry the soul of alternative global thinking in this era of climate change and extreme economic injustice. Matt’s poetically insightful songs strike at the heart of these issues while offering hope for a bright future. In addition, tunes about joyful expressions of love, spirituality and the lessons to be learned from simple stories of every day life are powerfully supported by the top-level and inspired musicians in the band. The Liquid Revolution: It seeps into everything. 1) MUST BE FREE: Livicated to Bob Marley and the Wailers, with obvious inspiration from Marley's "Rebel Music," this tune asks what it means to be free in this era of increasing economic slavery. 2) DROP THE LINE (World Revolution): A spoken-word polemic about the for-profit-only system, environmental irresponsibility and a transition to something much better, set to a driving reggae riddim. Current and past progressive writers and musicians are invoked at the climax of the tune. Spoken word by Bob Marley archivist and reggae historian Roger Steffens. 3) GPI: Genuine Progress Indicator. The world will have to switch to this global health metric if we are to survive. 4) THE MATERIAL SHUFFLE: Doesn’t the title say it all? A song about the materialistic rat race we’re running, poignantly expressed with corporate slogans as lyrics. 5) LESS IS BEST: What a future ad campaign might look like when we realize MORE IS KILLING US. 6) DUB JUMPER: A down tempo reggae instrumental. 7) 4 DAY WORK WEEK: A communication from the emergency broadcast system. 8) IZZA KILLA: A song of warning about how some relationships can turn out. 9) BECYCLE: An ad for a futuristic company that goes completely against our current model of expansion and profit-at-all-costs in favor of….UP-CYCLING. 10) AGAIN AND AGAIN (radio edit): A song about how a deep and higher love came into existence. Pure happiness! 11) TRICKLE DOWN: The truth about trickle down economics. 12) WAR (by Bob Marley): A fresh interpretation of this Marley classic. 13) MARRIAGE OF $ AND POLITICS: …brought to you by Citizens United. It’s time for a divorce! 14) SURE: A nayabinghi-based rap tune slamming the practice of the corporate naming public spaces, and holding court on a slew of social disgraces. 15) DRAGONFLY TAXI: Inspired by the Jimi Hendrix song, “Spanish Castle Magic”, this spoken word jam wonders what happened to the dragonfly that took him to the Spanish Castle back in 1967. As man-kind has developed, she’s been hiding, knowing all too well that in the end, she will prevail. 16) MOTHER EARTH SPEAKS: These days she’s not doing too well, and wants you to know that she holds ALL the answers, if only we’d just listen! 17) NAG CHAMPA: A reggae – rock instrumental sprinkled with a bit of Tibetan incense. 18) TAX BREAKS: Another ad we might see in the near future once we start taking saving the environment seriously. Buy local. “I love the IRS!!” 19) LIQUID SHIVA: Drawing inspiration directly from the pages of the Bhagavad Gita, this tune leaves you basking in the enlightened sonic vibration that only a great reggae feel can give. 20) AGAIN AND AGAIN (album edit): An extra long loving version!
