Another theatrical piece - now dialogue. Could it be called "out of the nest and into the mountains"?
lyrics
ASHOT: Էհ, եկեք խմենք: Ի՞նչ ասեմ, ինչ ըլնումա ժեշտին ըլնի, մենք էլ ողջ-առողջ լինենք, իրար ջան ասենք, ջան լսենք...
NAREK: Աշ, մի րոպե թարգմանեմ:
ASHOT: OK, OK... (continues his speech soon after Narek starts).
NAREK: OK, Ashot invites us to raise another glass.
ENGLISH: Oh, that soon?!..
NAREK: Yes. This time his toast is generic. It says “whatever happens let it happen to tin... or iron... This means, whatever bad has to happen in our lives let it happen to something inanimate*.
ENGLISH: Oh... I see...
NAREK: Like when you’re in a car and you hit the wall... Let due damage happen not to you, but to that car.
ENGLISH: Ah, sure! I see now. :-)
NAREK: Then he says “let’s say ջան to each other and hear the same. And “ջան”... The word ջան expresses all your good feelings towards the person you address it. You might have already heard a lot of ջանs tonight ;-)
ASHOT: Դե, անո՛ւշ արեք:
NAREK: Cheers!
ENGLISH: Cheers!
ASHOT: Cheers, English ջա՛ն:
ENGLISH: (smiles)
(She Walks in Beauty starts)
ENGLISH: Hey, Narek, who is that woman?
NAREK: What woman? Where?
ENGLISH: That one, that beautiful one! Who is she? Can’t you see her? There!

Passacaglia is one of the loveliest works of mighty JSB. While I adore HB's playing and his wonderful digital instrument as well, I admit that this record is jaw dropping for me. Frank Hadlich
They played a wonderful set at Summer’s End in October 2018 which was based around this album . For me it was one of the sets of the weekend. The record is a wonderful permanent reminder of the show. Tony Honour
Boston post-punk outfit Junk Ranchers broke up in 1986 before this, their debut album, was released; darkly melodic, it's a long-lost gem. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 22, 2020
Longtime Bay Area punk scene staple Mike Huguenor dials down the noise for a thoughtful record of peaceful electric guitar explorations. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 3, 2020
