B i o g r a p h y Music has been basically incorporated into Rhys Fulber's DNA...With hip parents, he was in the womb for a Led Zepplin concert and at age 6 they carried him along to a Kraftwerk show during their Autobahn era. Instruments were always in the house as well as weekend jam sessions where he would rest his head on the pillow inside the kick drum. After the luxury of growing up around his father's excellent record collection (influenced by the blues and psychadelia of the Dutch and German scene of the late 60s and early 70s - where they lived on and off) and starting to play drums and whatever else was lying around at an early age, the original Vancouver punk scene had profound impact. Music as a lifestyle, art and political statement. The dawn of the eighties and the discovery of electronic music came next. Helped by the familiarity with Kraftwerk, and Pete Shelley's Homosapien album, Rhys embraced groups like OMD and later, through local innovators Skinny Puppy, the first wave of industrial culture - european electronic underground and experimental music. Meeting Bill Leeb at a local alternative fashion store was the gateway to an exclusive record and tape collection and collaborations with a couple of synthesizers and a portastudio. Rhys' drum kit now pretty much replaced by a synthesizer and drum machine. Eventually joining Leeb's Front Line Assembly as a teenager, they gradually rose from cassette only releases, to european vinyl, to Melody Maker buzz act by 1990. Tours of europe and the US cemented Front Line Assembly's position in industrial dance, as a myriad of side projects spun off of down time from FLA. The rise in profile began to create other opportunities. Remixes and eventually, production of more rock based groups, looking to add the modern flourishes of programming to their sound. Most notably was Fear Factory, and the underground metal classic Demanufacture. As the industrial scene seemed to be burning out, a side project called Delerium began making somewhat accidental inroads to a more mainstream audience. An outlet for more ambient textures than those of FLA, the addition of female vocals to the soundscapes, struck a chord with record buyers. The best known of these being the Sarah McLachlan voiced Silence. Though released in 1997 on the Delerium album Karma, a progressive house remix two years later, took the global club scene by storm. Add a couple more remixes and it ended up on charts across europe (notably #3 in the UK) and produced gold and platinum sales in several countries. By this point Rhys had left already FLA and Delerium, to open new chapters. After years of production work, the desire to compose new material returned. The Conjure One project is born. |

Poe :
Young girl in the market gives it to the men
When the men leave her eyes are red
When her eyes are closed again
She sees a dark market of a violin
And she sings they say the most horrible things
But I hear violins
When I close my eyes
I am at the centre of the sun
And I cannot be hurt
By anything this wicked world has done
Young boy in the market follows all the men
When the men leave he is out of his head
When his eyes are closed again
He sees a dark market of a violin
And he says they break the most beautiful things
But I hear violins
When I close my eyes
I am at the centre of the sun
And I cannot be hurt
By anything this wicked world has done
I look into your eyes and
I am at the centre of the sun
And I cannot be hurt
By anything this wicked world has done
Young boy in the market sees the girl alone
And asks her have you lost your way home
She sings you say the most beautiful things
Just like my violins
I look into your eyes
I am at the centre of the sun
And I cannot be hurt
By anything this wicked world has done
When I close my eyes
I am at the centre of the sun
And I cannot be hurt
By anything this wicked world has done
I hear violins at the centre of the sun
I hear violins
Tears from
the Moon
Sinead O'Connor :
Couldn't sleep so I went out walking
Thinking about you and hearing us talking
And all the things I should have said
Echo now, inside my head
It just ain't fair, this thing called loving
When one step there and the other feels nothing
I would have done anything for you
I still love you, baby I adore you
I feel something falling from the sky
I'm so sad I made the angels cry
Tears from the moon
Fall down like rain
I reach for you
I reach in vain
Tears from the moon
Fall down like rain
But tears from the moon
Can´t wash away the pain
Tears from the moon, tears from the moon...
It just ain't fair - this thing called loving
When one step there and the other feels nothing
I would have done anything for you
I still love you, baby I adore you
All day I keep from falling apart
But at night when the sky gets dark
Tears from the moon
Fall down like rain
I reach for you
I reach in vain
Stop, stop haunting me
It should be easy
As easy as when you stopped wanting me
Hmm
Manic Star
Marie Claire D'Ubaldo :
One day is one day less to live
I want you to be my sedative
Sometimes when I drive my car
I feel trapped like a be inside a jar
Grains of sand is all we are
Crawling on our manic star
One tiny person in one shiney car
Spinning on our manic star
Time does some stuff for eveyone
It does not matter what you've done
I want to lose myself in you
Are you afraid of dying too
Grains of sand is all we are
Crawling on our manic star
One tiny person in one shiney car
Calling from our manic star
Lets love like there is no tomorrow
Shelter each other from the pain and sorrow
Manic star
Grains of sand is all we are
Crawling on our manic star
One tiny person in one shiney car
Spinning on our manic star
Don't know how I got this car
Crawling on our manic star
I'm alright at least so far
Hanging on our manic star
Spinning on our manic star
Calling from our manic star
Manic star
Make A Wish
Poe :
You can close your eyes it's over
now
It's over now
You can close your eyes it's over
Baby, baby, baby
Make a wish
Tell me have you ever been afraid like this
(It's over now)
I've seen it watching me
That misty thing
Without a face
It weaves my thoughts
Lined them up in black lace
It buries my shape
And leaves no trace
Tomorrow I will have no shame
And I will start again
Make a wish
Tell me have you ever felt alone like this
(Over now)
Better do it, sure
Just wishing
I could move in some more
Tomorrow I will have no shame
And I will start again
Make a wish
You can close your eyes it's over now
Baby I have never been afraid like this
You can close your eyes it's over now
Make a wish...
I took off my shoes
I took off my face
And then I undid the buttons on my dress
(I will start again)
Make a wish
You can close your eyes it's over now
Tell me have you ever been exposed like this
Maybe we could savour that now
Baby, baby, baby
Feels like a kiss
You can close your eyes and start again
I bet you never thought that I could feel like this
Tomorrow I will have no shame
Tomorrow I will have no shame
Make a wish
Sleep
Marie Claire D'Ubaldo :
I know
It's late
I shouldn't call at this hour
But it's
My fate
I need lips to devour
My nervous system is shot alright
I won't sleep unless you
Sleep with me tonight
Sleep with me tonight
Deep with me tonight
Sleep with me tonight
Deep with me tonight
(Sleep)
I know
It's late
We've known each other awhile
I
Can't wait
To see your twisted smile
Kindred spirit of candle light
I won't sleep unless you
Sleep with me tonight
Sleep with me tonight
Deep with me tonight
Sleep with me tonight
Deep with me tonight

Poe :
It's all coming, it's all coming
It's all coming, it's all coming, it's all coming, it's all coming
It's all coming back to me now
That strange and almost endless dream
Where I was you and you were me
You opened up your eyes and I could see
That you were falling from the world
As aimless as a shooting star
In all that around me thinking
I was somebody else
And terrified to look at me and
See yourself, well...
You and I could dream
And I am just a trip you are on
When the trip is over
You will go back to the places that you once belonged
You will look for comfort there
And when you do you'll find that it has gone
That is when you'll dream a dream
Where I am you and you are me
And then you'll know my love
So don't be afraid
Your heart is in me and it's racing so fast now
'Cause everything we ever were or ever will be
Is shapeless as a changing cloud
Your letter written on the sky
I need you now to read it through my eyes
When you see just what I see
And tenderly
Watch it change and just let it be
'Cause I am like a dream
And you are just a trip that I am on
When the trip is over
I will go back to the places that I once belonged
And I will look for comfort there
And when I do I know it will be gone
That is when I'll dream a dream
Where I am you and you are me
And then I'll know your love
So quiet...
Now...
We are the ... same
This is just some trip that we are on
When the trip is over we will think of this
As someplace that we once belonged
When I find no comfort here
I'll look again to find it in your arms
That is where I'll dream a dream
Where I am you and you are me
And that's where I know love
Face the Music
Tiff Lacey :
Gravity is a factor
Feel it pulling you in
It gets under your skin
And you just sink in
When the past is an anchor
It's just holding you back
When you can't walk away
Something makes you stay, makes you stay
What makes you turn around and do it all again (oh oh oh)
Your highs and lows, they are both one and the same (oh oh oh)
There is no difference in your pleasure and your pain
It's time to face the music
You can see what you can be
Let go of what you have been
See the world
Through a different set of eyes
If you can face the future
It sets you free from the past
Turn around, turn around
You can move on, move on
What makes you turn around and do it all again (oh oh oh)
Your highs and lows, they are both one and the same (oh oh oh)
There is no difference in your pleasure and your pain
It's time to face the music
It's time to face the music
It's time to face the music
What makes you turn around and do it all again (oh
oh oh)
Your highs and lows, they are both one and the same (oh oh oh)
There is no difference in your pleasure and your pain
It's time to face the music
What makes you turn around and do it all again (oh
oh oh)
Your highs and lows, they are both one and the same (oh oh oh)
There is no difference in your pleasure and your pain
It's time to face the music
If you can face the future
It sets you free from the past
Turn around, turn around
You can move on, move on
One Word
Poe :
With only one word
You took the ice out of the air again
And put the heat back in the sun again
With only one word
With only one word
You put the weapons of the world away
It's funny how one single thing you choose to say
Will change the world and then
It suddenly means something better
Every single thing I see, good or bad
You make it mean something better
Every pleasure, every pain
Every nightmare that I dream
Make it mean something better
With only one word
You change the ending of a tragedy
And summon power from the injuries
With only one word
It's funny how one single thing you choose to say
Will change the world and then
It suddenly means something better
Every single thing I see, good or bad,
You make it mean something better
Every pleasure, every pain
Every nightmare that I dream
Make it mean something better
Every time that I can't make a sound
And I think that I'm starting to drown
Even when I try to take you down
Every time that I think I'm alone
And I can't find a word of my own
You take me home
And then you change the world again
With only one word
You took a war out of my history
It's funny how one single thing you choose to see
Could change the world
And give mine back to me so much better
Every single thing I see (better)
Every single thing I dream (better)
So much better
Every pleasure, every pain (better)
Every nightmare that I dream (I dream)
Make it mean something better
I believe
In these times of contention
It's not my intention to make things plain
I'm looking through mirrors
To catch the reflection that can't be mine
I'm losing control now I'll just have to slow down a thought or two
I can't feel the future and I'm not even sure that there is a past
I believe in the shape of things to come
And I believe I'm not the only one
Yes I believe in
I believe in
When I poison my system
I take thoughts and twist them into shapes
I'm reaching my nadir and I haven't an idea of what to do
I'm painting by numbers but can't find the colors that fill you in
I'm not even knowing if I'm coming or going if to end or begin
I believe in immaculate conception
And I believe in the resurrection
I believe in, I believe in
I believe in the elixir of youth
And I believe in the absolute truth
Yes I believe in
I believe in
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
I've fallen from favor while trying to savor experience
I'm seeing things clearly
But it is quite nearly blown my mind
It's the aim of existence to offer resistance to the flow of time
Everything is and that is why it is will be the line
I believe in perpetual motion
And I believe in perfect devotion
I believe in, I believe in
I believe in original sin
And I believe what I believe in
Yes I believe in
I believe in
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
Poe :
What I have is nothing to my name
No property to speak of
And no trophy for my game
Intangible and worthless
My assets on the page
My coffers are empty
Any offer of safety has faded away
But what I have
What I have is
On an ordinary day
The extraordinary way
You take what I can give and you treasure it
On an ordinary day
The extraordinary way
You turn to me and say, I believe in this
That makes me lucky
God, I'm lucky, so much luckier than I ever thought I'd be
'Cause what I have (what I have)
Means so very little to this world
A promise that I kept and a bridge that I saved before it burned
The sacrifice that I made
Brought me to my knees
A choice that cost me everything and set somebody else free
But what I have
Is the value that you see in these things
On an ordinary day
The extraordinary way
You take what I can give and you treasure it
On an ordinary day
The extraordinary way
You turn to me and say, I believe in this
That makes me lucky
God I'm lucky, so much luckier than I ever thought I'd be
'Cause what I have
Is the value that you see in these things
And everytime I forget those things you bring them right back to me
With your patience
When I'm blinding mad
And your passion
When I'm really, really bad
And your eyes
Taking in everything I am
And your body and soul and the way that you know
How I treasure you
On an ordinary day
The extraordinary way
You take what I can give and you treasure it
On an ordinary day
The extraordinary way
You turn to me and say, I believe in this
That makes me lucky
God I'm so lucky
So much luckier than I ever thought I'd be
On an ordinary day
The extraordinary way
You take what I can give and you treasure it
On an ordinary day
The extraordinary way
You turn to me and say, I believe in this
Forever Lost
Chemda :
So many times
So many promises
Heard all the lies
I've heard all the things you've said
Truth is like a fear
Fear of heaven
Truth's your only fear
Fear of heaven
And I wanna know
The highs and lows
Give me something
Forever lost in all I try
Give me something
So hard we try
Sold on your promises
Lay it on the line
Lay out the trauma there for me
Truth is like a fear
Fear of heaven
Truth ain't always clear
Clear like heaven
And I wanna know the highs and lows
Give me something
Forever lost in all I try
Give me something
And I wanna know how much I show
All the wrong things
Forever lost in all I try
We're after the same things
And I wanna know the highs and lows
Give me something
Forever lost in all I try
Give me something
Give me something
Jaren Cerf :
When the sun was strong
And shadows grew so long
She stole her way
Into your empty heart
And she moved like ice
She oh oh oh oh
She was cool and blue like ice
No flaws on her, no imperfections
She changed your direction
What could you do
She was fleet on foot
A little sleight of hand
Your life became
An hourglass with no sand
Wrapped up safe inside
A place where you could hide
She cradled you
Like your mother's arms
And she moved like ice
She oh oh oh oh
She was cool and blue like ice
No flaws on her, no imperfections
She changed your direction
What could you do
And she moved like ice
She oh oh oh oh
She was cool and blue like ice
Halfway between heaven and her hands
Was a place for you to land
What could you do
She was someone so undefined
(She was so divine)
She was someone so hard to find
(So hard to find)
You in those lost and uncertain hours
You were so safe in those ivory towers
She oh...
What could you do
She oh oh oh oh
She was cool and blue like ice
No flaws on her, no imperfections
She changed your direction
What could you do
And she moved like ice
She oh oh oh oh
She was cool and blue like ice
Halfway between heaven and her hands
Was a place for you to land
What could you do
She oh...
And she moved like ice
Jaren Cerf :
Zephyr
Knowing you is a pleasure
But I hear the storms
Calling me
Calling me
Zephyr
They’re calling me
Bring on the fire
Bring on the ice
Give me all you got
I’m through rolling dice
Steady my pulse
Steady my mind
Once I make my play
There’s no rewinding
So bring on the fire
Bring on the ice
Give me all you got
I’m through rolling dice
Steady my pulse
Steady my mind
Once I make my play
There’s no rewinding
Zephyr
A taste would be like heaven
I’ll fight the fight
To feel you once again
Again, again, again, again
Bring on the fire
Bring on the ice
Give me all you got
I’m through rolling dice
Steady my guns
Steady my mind
Once I make my play
There’s no rewinding
So bring on the fire
Bring on the ice
Give me all you got
I’m through rolling dice
Steady my guns
Steady my mind
Once I make my play
There’s no rewinding
Bring on the fire and ice
Bring on the fire and ice
The Distance
Jaren Cerf :
Marry the distance
Marry the light
‘Cause what is this notion
You and I
Marry the distance
Quiet the minds
Sense a devotion
To something inside
This isn’t a place
This isn’t a hunger
This is a state of mind
A state of wonder
This isn’t a place
This isn’t a hunger
This is a state of mind
A state of wonder
So marry the distance
Oh, oh, oh
This isn’t a place
This isn’t a hunger
This is a state of mind
A state of wonder
Oh, oh, oh
I Dream In Colour
Leah Randi :
I look at the river
But I'm thinking of the sea
The past overwritten
By what I hope to be
I search for the essence
It's my command
Fat is the center
It's what I demand
In my mind
I'm standing in a glasshouse
Looking below
Don't want to look without seeing
Don't want to touch without feeling
I dream in colour, yeah
I dream in colour
When the world's in black and sepia tone
Or in sleepy monochrome
I dream in colour, yeah
I dream in colour
I see much further than this
I see much further than this, yeah
In a room with no windows
And painted doors
Where once was my ceiling
Now is the floor
My landscape is changing
From out of the dust
It's some kind of feeling
Like the sun's coming up
In my mind
I'm standing in a glasshouse
Looking below
Don't want to hear without listening
Don't want to talk without speaking
I dream in colour, yeah
I dream in colour
When the world's in black and sepia tone
Or in sleepy monochrome
I dream in colour, yeah
I dream in colour
I see much further than this
I see much further than this, yeah
I dream in colour, yeah
I dream in colour
When the world's in black and sepia tone
Or in sleepy monochrome
I dream in colour, yeah
I dream in colour
I see much further than this
I see much further than this
I can see through the fog of gray
Got a window on the world
I can sweep it all away
Got a window on the world
Don't want to look without seeing
Don't want to touch without feeling
I dream in colour, yeah
I dream in colour
When the world's in black and sepia tone
Or in sleepy monochrome
I dream in colour, yeah
I dream in colour
I see much further than this
There's got to be more than this, yeah
I dream in colour
I dream in colour
When the world's in black and sepia tone
Or in sleepy monochrome
I dream in colour
I dream in colour, yeah
I dream in colour
I dream in colour

Premonition
Jeff Martin :
My soul is a desert
When nothing is comfort
Sheltered from chaos
And sheltered from you
Can't feel you anymore
Don't need you anymore
Don't believe you anymore
I don't need you anymore
Enough with temptations
Illusions are evil
We exist in confusion
Soulless and vain
Can't feel you anymore
Don't need you anymore
Don't believe you anymore
I don't need you anymore
It's broken me down now
This hurts and it's hopeless
Can't look to the future
The window is stained
Can't feel you anymore
Don't need you anymore
Don't believe you anymore
I don't need you anymore
I don't need you anymore, I don't need you anymore
I don't need you anymore, I don't need you anymore
Mel Garside :
I've got a black spot in the sunrise
I've got a black spot in the sunrise
I couldn't feel a thing

I still see the night this morning
I couldn't feel a thing
I couldn't feel a thing
He cut my dry heart this sunrise
You cut my dry heart this sunrise
I couldn't feel a thing
I couldn't feel a thing
