Here you have two tracks from the repertoire of The Fibonaccis, arguably one of music's finest bands (take THAT, Hall & Oates!). I needed to display some tracks for an example of the band's sound for a webpage, so I whipped this up in a haste.
Of course, I do NOT own these tracks and have nothing to do with the band at all. I know John Dentino has his own YouTube channel, so if he (or any other wandering Fibs) have objections, I'll take it down. For these tracks and more (all in much better audio quality), please visit the band's official site, www.fibonaccis.com, or their MySpace page at www.myspace.com/fibonaccis. DO IT! DO IT NOW!
The first track is "Stay Home", a rousing instrumental from their first (and only) studio album, 1987's 'Civilization and Its Discotheques', while the second, "Second Coming", was featured on their debut EP, 1982's "(fi'-bo-na'-chez)". Sadly, none of these are available on your "iTunes" or your "compact discs", but stray vinyl copies tend to pop up on online auctions if you want one bad enough. Sure, you can download them all on www.fibonaccis.com, but come on...you can't beat that wonderful feeling of setting a needle down on vinyl, eh? Aw, yeeeeah...
Lyrics to "Second Coming", in case you were curious (by John Dentino): Waiting for the message to come A handshake from deepest space Pressing to the headset all night For aliens faintest breath
Hoping for a biped to come Untangling human doubt Searching through the static all night For signals that make some sense
Will they tell whatever the pyramids meant? Did we evolve or were our chromosomes sent? Will they find our brainpans a fraction too small? Do the labyrinths weve created lead nowhere at all?
Here we are in Mississippi Tracking down a swamp gas saucer Television cameras glowing Somewhere in the middle of a prarie on a summer night The neighbors gather round, hoping for a sight When the moon casts dark shadows When the men of conscience weaken When the preachers spread their panic Armageddon draws us near its gaping mouth And whispers that the universe isnt benign
Crashing though a telephone booth To put in a call to Christ Looking for a sign in the sky Ezekiels wheels on high
Waiting for a savior to come to rescue us from the brink Quoting from the scientists logs Defending our oldest wish
Will they tell whatever the pyramids meant? Did we evolve or were our chromosomes sent? Will they find our brainpans a fraction too small? Do the labyrinths weve created lead nowhere at all?
Tiny needle in a haystack All the signals weak and garbled Conjuring its myths and dreaming Somewhere in the middle of the galaxy a capsule floats Boasting the image of man
Waiting for the message to come A handshake from deepest space Pressing to the headset all night For aliens faintest breath
Hoping for a biped to come Untangling human doubt Searching through the static all night For signals that make some sense

This sounds more like Combustible Edison than what they sounded like on New Wave Theater. I even saw the Fibs play live in 1983, when they were somewhat more punk flavored. I believe that members of the band also played in Wall of Voodoo, whose members also made film soundtracks...at least started a soundtrack company.
Hey if you like this amazing band check another band called Ludus! They play this jazzy avant garde rock like these fellows. If you are lucky to find their album on vinyl, with a really nice gatefold version with 2 45s (the album is spread out so the quality is more than hedonic...), grab it!!
