The 7th album in an 18 year music career by Meiosis has landed. A journey through a fear of flying, through city life in New York, Berlin and Newcastle upon Tyne brings us to an emotional but uplifting occasions with a joyous celebration of the absurdities of life as we know it in 2016. It's wonderfully weird but somewhat oddly accessible.

Kicked my ball,
To the wrong side of the wall,
I see it from the Fernsehturm,
That Stands tall.
Meine Freunde are all here,
My family stay in Mitte.
They put up a flag yesterday,
By the gun tower. Haben sie bitte.
You are here but I am there,
Here is where and you’re not there.
When the wall came down,
All these aliens came through,
They brought my ball back,
Then built a Mac Donalds Drive Thru,
Meine freude are all here at last,
In bar, my the tower, in Alexandraplatz
You are here and I am there,
Here is where and you’re not there.
You are near but I’m not where?
Somewhere near but I’m not there.
Then the bell rings,
And the door opens,
I couldn’t believe my eyes,
Even through all that smoke.
It was in German,
But I knew that you had spoke.
What the Devil did you do with that man?
When the bell rang,
I didn’t understand,
I didn’t understand.
When the bell rings and you are not there….
When the bell rings and you are not near….
When the bell rings and you are not here…
When it’s the bell that you ring,
I remember, it was your birthday in Berlin.
