​Skyway Man (from the album The World Only Ends When You Die available on Mama Bird Recording Company)
 
Skyway Man (James Wallace) does more than simply soundtrack the cinematic songs he offers on his recent release, The World Only Ends When You Die. The words and music on the album become the story, stretching from simply telling tales as they become the flesh and bone framework of the characters. The World Only Ends When You Die is an opera starring a person rendered incapable of coping with an uncertain reality following a near-death experience. Rock’n’Roll is sound of Armageddon for “Atom Bomb” as Skyway Man namechecks the album title in the tale, doo-wopping a request to turn on the radio ‘and hear the desperation play’. The World Only Ends When You Die wrestles with internal and external issues. Skyway Man provides a marching rhythm for “”Old Swingin’ Bell”, preaches over an effervescent beat in “Don’t Feel Bad About Being Alive”, and makes a mighty groove for the choir harmonies and salvational pull of “Sometimes Darkness / Railroad / Sometimes Darkness Reprise”. 
 
Sitting in the middle of nowhere in the California high desert is The Integratron. At a height of 38 feet and diameter of 55 feet, the structure is the fusion of art, science, and magic. The Integratron was built by UFOlogist and contactee, George Van Tassel. Skyway Man creates sound bites for the songs with the words of Van Tassel including “The Rise of The Integratron”, the music morphing into a island rhythms and harmonies circling “Don’t Feel Bad About Being Alive”. The World Only Ends When You Die strides in on opening cut “Muddy Water” with stuttering guitar notes and a revolving rhythm as Skyway Man borders the track with exiting cut “Power” sing/speaking the sci-fi themed album’s story closer over a drifting audio dreamscape.
