    After their first album (“eROCKtile dysFUNKtion SOULutions” [CD+DVD] -2006) and a long tour across Spain and Portugal, this English singing rock band wanted to take a definitive step forward.

    MOON CRESTA contacted Grammy nominated producer Sylvia Massy, who worked with some of the most influential bands and artist for these young musicians (Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Black Crowes, Reef, Skunk Anansie, among many others) and they decided to make the new album together. During spring 2009, they travelled to Weed, California USA, to develop the new songs at RadioStar Studios (www.radiostarstudios.com).

    “The sparkling radiostars & their lunatic orcresta” is the title of this new release that shows the MOON CRESTA personal vision of rock and funk through careful song writing and forceful groovy performance. An eclectic work that confirms the particular power & funk style of MOON CRESTA with songs like “Be real”, “Leave them alone” or “Hard Railway”, but also explores new expressive language in tracks like “Burn”, “Infatuation” or “Long way from home”.

I have to make up my mind No time for worries or fears, we’re getting high The unknown won’t make me afraid This is a journey to outer and inner space No time for final dance, go ahead It’s time to break all fences Look straight at real life no dreams instead And I say: Turnabout, turnabout! Now I can hear the silent mountain Yes, I see the sun beyond I’m really crossing the line No stumbling steps to goal, don’t ask me why That’s what I was waiting for One way ticket to somewhere, to the beyond Conviction and hopefulness, all my gear We’ll find the land of magic My spirit turns so wild and so fierce And I say: Here we are, here we are! Now I can hear the silent mountain Yes, I see the sun beyond

Burn 03:40
I’ve been searching for years and I didn’t find yet A buried secret that’s out of my sight Tons of ashes are covering my puzzling mightiness gonna shaking them out of my hide I wanna be washed in the fountain where we were born just a rite of rebirth to arise The cascades are flying like falling unicorns I hear the stories; you kill me to keep me alive Fire and water build up my renaissance I clean the cinders to carry out my plans New brilliant lights will glow so radiant Chorus: I ain’t gonna burn down Shine on Gonna burn till dawn I’ve been lost in a labyrinth trying to run and flee But now I’m passing the mystery gate I am opening doors that my fear didn’t let me see I was blind and I thought that time was getting late

Long time ago I was such a happy boy I sang my tunes full of joy Some bad vibrations are making me annoyed I am unable to enjoy Why does sadness make me so? The lines I write are stained by bitter words They look like sharp cutting swords Want to remember the way I used to be The path to reach liberty Come on baby set me free I’ll throw this weight away I’ve got too much to say It’s healthy for my brain This is my treatment my special therapy please give me my medicine look at my guns, they’re the softest ones I have just paper, pen and guitar. They can hurt the bravest heart I will start to get rid of my demons from my past Your frustration inspires me and makes my songs blast
4.
If you can decode my signs If you can hear my voice and see my sparkling lights That means that we’re almost wired Through a million light years all across the deep blue sky First we thought we’d take the moon Then we wanted to conquer all those big stars Trying to discover you We’ve realized how insignificant we are We’d be glad and happy When you answer our call Cause we’d be verifying That we are not alone We can assure that we’re not the only ones Not at all I wonder why we don’t leave them alone On their own The Human race has crossed the space Too much zeal to look for some one out there But now I’m thinking to myself If they’d really care about our existence
5.
Be real 04:18
A single word could be enough to express your intentions A brief refusal it’s so helpful to decline No need at all for any kind of justifications You must be consistent, tell me, what d’you expect from life? You learnt to obey, do what they tell you, with no reaction Just change your ways it’s so easy if you try. Chorus: You’ve gotta be real to yourself It’s up to you: to do the best You’ve gotta be real to yourself It’s up to you: to do the best Avoid lamenting and reject unmerited kindness Don’t be considerate to someone who always lies. At first it seems you act a little bit rude and bad mannered Soon you’ll become very pleased & satisfied No fake politeness, I’ve been raped, ravished, hassled Never say yes to things you really should deny Chorus: You’ve gotta be real to yourself It’s up to you: to do the best You’ve gotta be real to yourself It’s up to you: to do the rest

Betrayer 03:42
Sometimes I think you feel fine so I guess I can phone you. Though I know you are down I would like to hold you But a few minutes later I’m sure that you hate me If your mind wants to kill me your arms want to embrace me Another year has passed us by. (your life) A little bit of everyone’s life The pieces of your broken pride (your pride) are spread and covered by dust and grime You are telling your friends that I’m cruel ‘cause I left you, that I’ve ruined your life since the first time I met you, that I have shot you down from behind like a traitor You consider me now the biggest betrayer Another year has passed us by. (your life) A little bit of everyone’s life The pieces of your broken pride (your pride) are spread and covered by dust and grime
7.
Infatuation 04:03
Can remember your feelings, Can remember when you used to love. It was just the beginning when passion can warm everyone. But someday the wind will blow, the cold in your heart will freeze your moods and your spoiled words. Then the beast will grow. Chorus: You, get out of my sight I’m tired of your infatuation Don’t you stay by my side I can’t stand this situation Please get out of my life If you are hesitating whether you really love me or not, if this stage of waiting is the proof that you may quit this job may be your time has come. The cold in your heart has frozen your moods and your spoiled words. Now the beast has grown Chorus But your fickle ways made you retrace your steps one summer day. Now we already know where we should go And who we really love

We made the moon grow under our feet We knocked at every single door so restlessly But when the moon almost fell down I found Your calm and belief in me we fought against misfortune and we won we suffered, we felt the pain but now we’re strong But when the moon begins to shine So bright I want you to be here Baby I miss you so It happens every time I have to go A long, long way from home Two angels brought their smiles to our lives They came to us like sweet dreams come late at night And when you have to take that plane once again I want you to be here Baby I miss you so It happens every time you have to go A long, long way from home Baby I miss you so It happens every time I have to go A long, long way from home

Hard railway 04:12
We are traveling across this land Neither too slow nor too fast We’re just looking for a place where we can dance And have some funky experience We took a train with no destination No matter where we go We can go roaming through any nation We’re ready for the show Let’s make a trip around Don’t you miss the train You know we’re back in town We’re face to face again Anytime we’ve been thrown out the way Anytime god gives us up We stand up and put a sight on the railway We say out loud: just keep it up The neighbours say that we are offenders Rock music is our crime These sonic weapons never surrender We shoot them all time Let’s make a trip around Don’t you miss the train You know we’re back in town We’re face to face again You are convinced that we are illegal No matter what we do You try to cut the wings of an eagle But hate comes back to you. Let’s make a trip around Don’t you miss the train You know we’re back in town We’re face to face again

Selling our souls to you Selling our souls to you T.V. show made you a promise that they’d really change your life “– You’ll get anything you want” fame, celebrity and fortune: that will be the awaited prize But you’ll never know the price “– Sign your name to this contract. It’s the deal of your life - It’s alright” “– From this moment your existence belongs to us We are your owners” You’re in a crossroad sealing a deal You’ll never get your spirit back They hold your body and your mind Choose between honour and delight ‘cause you will never backtrack “– Don’t you worry it’s a contest. You just have to be yourself” but you’ll never be the same. Famous contestant ran over by a train on Christmas day Others crashed on the highway One of them commits suicide once the program ends it’s so strange what d’you think about all of these fatalities? I know what it means You’re in a crossroad sealing a deal You will never get your spirit back They hold your body and your mind Choose between honour and delight but you will never backtrack You’ve taken your decision Now you must ask permission To live your life the way you want It’s like a modern devil Who enjoys this media revel A death game that no one has won You wanna escape And run away You will never get your spirit back They hold your body and your mind Choose between honour and delight but you will never backtrack
