This was one of the first recordings of Ithaka’s vocal-poem masterpiece, “So Get Up”. It was made nearly a year before making another version with Underground Sound Of Lisbon, which became a global sensation.
This electro-synth demo, “So Get Up 1993”, was made in Manchester, England in early 1993....
The end of the earth is upon us.
Pretty soon it'll all turn to dust.
So get up, forget the past.
Go outside and have a blast.
Go a thousand miles in a jet airplane.
Go out of your mind, go insane.
To a place you never been before.
Eat ice cream, or you'll lick the floor.
The end of the earth is upon us.
Pretty soon it'll all turn to dust.
Goodbye my Friends.
Goodbye world.
I'll see you in the next life.
The end of the earth is upon us.
The end of the earth is upon us.
The end of the earth is upon us.
Pretty soon it'll all turn to dust.
(Ithaka: spoken outakes*)
*Another time ?
*This one's more agro....
or just kind of the same kind of s#%t?
*Can't hear you.
The end of the earth is upon us.
Pretty soon it'll all turn to dust.
So get up.
The end of the earth is upon us.
Pretty soon it'll all turn to dust.
Go a thousand miles in a jet airplane.
Go out of your mind, go insane.
Go a thousand miles in a jet airplane.
Go out of your mind, go insane.
