    The Green Man (TGM) & Kingz – Changes (22 Years of Basswerk)

    The Green Man & Kingz first met and started making and performing music together in 1997 following The Green Man’s „Infinity“ release, which touched Kingz’ musical nerve. In 1998 they were both part of the Basswerk Sessions Vol. 1 compilation and Kingz became Cologne’s most accepted MC with a residency at Basswerk Sessions and touring through Germany, but stopped performing in 2001. It wasn’t until 2016 that they started making music again - having been connected as friends during the years. The widely appreciated “The moment is now“ track (relased 2016/ Basswerk 39) marked their comeback. The focus moved more to production and Kingz really took the place as a vocalist and lyricist. With a Basswerk’s 20 years anniversary release planned which got support by Kulturamt Köln in 2017, they elaborated their intersections in musical taste and histories culmulating in their very own sound.

    The album is also about political and life themes/issues of our time. They discussed and debated lyrical themes, which came to life and on point with the help Kingz’ wife Vera Obeng. One track after another emerged and it became clear that this would be more than a compilation contribution, instead it became a whole new album project. However it wasn’t finished until the very end of 2018 and took them more than 2 ½ years of intense work to realise the visions and bring everything on point.

    Additionally, various musicians did remixes of „The moment is now“ (including Basswerk resident Decon, Basicand Thorsten Quaeschning). They will be released on a separate EP.

    So this album, the Remix-EP and also the above mentioned compilation are now part of a series of „22 Years of Basswerk“ releases in 2019 (supported by Kulturamt Köln). Check out the main other part of the project: „The Green Man (TGM) presents: 22 Years of Basswerk/ The Collab Sessions“ (CD with 16 collab tracks/remixes by The Green Man (TGM) with Digital, Klute, Aqua Sky, Skarra Mucci, David Boomah, Gregor Schwellenbach, Gourski, Seibel, Navigator, Freeze, Chevy, Brian Brainstorm, Thorsten Quaeschning (Tangerine Dream), Triou, FR33M4N & Zera) and various 2019 releases/ EP’s.

lyrics

The Paths that We Take

The paths that we take


Scratching my head

Trying to find the solution

To everyday problems leaving me disillusioned

"Less restrictions" are said to be a treat

Just watching the dangers as I leap

It's never easy - lot of pitfalls and huge holes

Feeling wheezy - distracted from achieving my goals

One wrong step could mean trouble

So inept - slip sliding in a double


I need a refill - slowly reaching a standstill

Running on this treadmill - struggling uphill

As I'm weighing up my chances

Not planning sly advances

Different era - new circumstances

The choices we make

Then it suddenly hits me
It's like the “game of kings”

Take charge of your destiny

Don't just see what life brings

Don't wait for an epiphany

“Candidate moves” need to be found

This ain't jeopardy


Step back - check out the options around

Pick out 3 - 4 looking sound

To find the optimal - the choice most valuable
The paths that we take
Yeah - should be personal

The paths that we take
The choices we make
In our lives
