''The Interzone Mantras'' (2001) is the sixth album from Canadian rock group The Tea Party. Named after William S. Burroughs' book of short stories ''Interzone'' and the band's interest in eastern mysticism and esoteric philosophies〔David Curry, Get set for The Tea Party's distinctive hard rock. 15 Feb 2002, The Canberra Times Buz, Canberra, Australia.〕, the songwriting on ''The Interzone Mantras'' builds on the subtle electronica and ballads of ''Triptych'', whilst returning to the familiar territory of their earlier albums with 70's rock and world music influences.〔 Jeff Martin explained that the album was a return to basics: "The last two records, ''Transmission'' and ''Triptych'', were very much creations of the studio - meticulously built. With this record we felt that we wanted to put a spark of passion underneath our asses. Lyrically the album draws from the works of modern writers Aleister Crowley, Mikhail Bulgakov, Wim Wenders, to ancient Greek mythology (Morpheus on "Lullaby"). The lyrics themselves written by Martin when holidaying in Prague, after the music was written from jams in the band's rehearsal space.〔JC, The Tea Party Jan 2002, Rip It Up, Adelaide Australia.〕 The first 100,000 Canadian copies of ''The Interzone Mantras'' were packaged with a special lenticular cover, with Alessandro Bavari's depiction of Shiva moving depending on the viewing angle. Although not as commercially successful as previous albums, ''The Interzone Mantras'' is The Tea Party's highest charting album in Australia (debuting at #6 on the ARIA chart) and is certified Gold in Canada. It was also nominated for "Rock Album of the Year" at the 2003 Juno Awards. ==Track listing== # "Interzone" – 3:39 # "Angels" – 4:54 # "The Master & Margarita" – 4:13 # "Apathy" – 3:55 # "Soulbreaking" – 4:45 # "Lullaby" – 4:19 # "Must Must" – 3:59 # "White Water Siren" – 4:54 # "Cathartik" – 5:00 # "Dust to Gold" – 4:20 # "Requiem" – 4:30 # "Mantra" – 8:00 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Interzone Mantras」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
