Funny the human condition. Ever since the dawn of man there’s probably been the worship of a higher power/being. I wonder what it is that causes so many to be drawn to the concept. Does anyone study that? If so, what are they called? What have they determined? Greek mythology has numerous Gods with different capabilities. I remember being enamored with some of those mythological beings. I’m pretty sure I remember diggin Thor, God of Thunder. Him and his big ol’ hammer.
In other Godly type things, being in the geek squad in school meant playing stuff like Dungeons and Dragons. There are certain adventures that included Ragnarok. Which is the Norse version of the doom of earth and such with their gods. Kinda like the bible’s doom’s day stuff. Of course with an active imagination and several of your geeky-ist buddies you delve into that role playing because it’s different, it’s alluring and above all it was fun. Who doesn’t want to live forever? Or at the very least, have some sort of power to wield?
Getting back to Greek stuff, Zeus of course is the top God in their book. The ruler of all the Gods. How could you not want to be the top dog in the house of Mount Olympus? Not to mention Zeus probably had one hell of a time spreading his seed around. Being the father to a bunch of heroes and heroines. Not bad for a God getting to choose some of your favorite mortal women and giving them a special child. Not to mention his own storied past from his parents to ascending to his throne above all else. What a guy eh?
I’m not sure the history of Ubzorb, but I can say that their name caught my attention because it’s an interesting twist on the word absorb. Ub certainly has a more electronic or house feel to it. Heck I’d even say dub too. Wouldn’t you know it, that’s exactly the type of music they do. Of course you’re hearing now, so you’d understand that.
I was also drawn into the beats they have going on. This song is exactly what I would call as being magnetic. Thinking about Zeus and some of his history, I’m a bit curious to think that this song must be about a very pretty girl who catches his eye. Obviously that would mean she’d have to have very magnetic looks to draw someone like Zeus. I’m skipping a lot of the factors that I’m going through in my head for why I like this, so just accept it. Oh, and buy it if you like it too. 🙂
