POLARITY/1 - SpeechlessPOLARITY/1 - Prettier Than You
POLARITY/1 - Music From The Other SidePOLARITY/1 - Yankin' The Food Chain
AUDIOPLASM - Heavy MeadowKOKO DOZO - Illegal Space Alliens
POLARITY/1 - Electronica, Alternative, Electro-Folk & Acid Jazz from New York City
  The music of Polarity/1 is exactly what the name suggests: conjoined opposites -- a mash up of new: cutting edge electronica/hip hop/nu-jazz and old; roots music of America (blues, funk, country, early jazz), Brazil (samba, pagoda, etc.) and West African groove science. Polarity also describes the dual streams of Polarity/1's musical output: songs and instrumentals.

After a few years of playing percussion in samba bands at S.O.B.'s and other venues. Polar landed in hip hop which combined his interests in grooves, samples and wordplay into one form. He and rapper D.A.V. became Medicine Crew. In the aftermath of 9/11, Polar was asked to do a remix of Nile Rodgers' We Are Family Project released on a compilation by Tommy Boy Records. His experience of 9/11 which was perpetrated in his neighborhood led to a collaboration with multi-platinum Pakistan rock band Junoon resulting in their hit song 'No More'. John Hollander has choreographed four Polarity/1 compositions for New York's Battery Dance Company's fall season opening in November 2006 and has been touring extensively with the piece. In 2008, he scored "The Other Side" for the Quorum Ballet from Lisbon Portugal. P/1's new collaboration, Koko Dozo, released their first album Illegal Space Aliens in February 2008.

"It may not be easy to categorize, but with its inventive rhythms and wide-ranging choices of instrumentation, Speechless is thoroughly entertaining." - iTunes Staff Review

"Polar succeeds in his mission of forcing you to pay attention and not lull into the sounds you 'expect' to hear." - StarPolish.com

"Polarity/1 is a musical force unleashing some of the hippest beats and timely lyric on the scene." - MediaChannel.org

"This is from the old FCC Commissioner, Nicholas Johnson, who just listened to your News Goo... and wants to thank you for that. News Goo is really terrific! I'd like to share some of it with some of my colleagues here at the law school... However that may be, thank you for all you are doing. Regards, Nicholas Johnson"

CommentGood music. I can't stand the mainstream. Your music is refreshing. Thanks for thinking outside the box. Also, to atavikus comment about a scary documentary, I followed that link and it is a insurance website. I do not know how that can help much of anything if the scary documentary you saw was "Endgame" by Alex Jones. If you have not seen it then you and everyone must see it immediately!! Then we can plan what to do. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1070329053600562261

Commentthis is good.

this is the only problem of the world.
With mostly every new baby, after some time, seemingly by itself,
the baby starts making sounds and words.
Yes it starts mimicking the Big Mistakes that claim to own the said baby,
but soon enough he starts to make new woeds (words) by himself.

As soon as the baby starts using creativity and making new words,
which O the Creator is teaching him, this is what the "men" and "women" do.
The reason the Creator starts teaching every new baby His own language
is to fix and heal with new words the filthy horrible old leather old language and world the "adults" won't let go of because they have refused to be creative.

This is what the Big Mistakes do when every new baby starts making new words and improving upon the ones it already was subjected to.

They pretend the baby is stupid and must be taught their foolish language and they threaten to withhold food and toys if the baby does not comply.

The baby usually says, "go ga?" which means
Where did God go? (God says to him, I'm right here stay close. Refuse their food. Refuse the tit.
I'll feed you. ) too late.
"go ga?"
The Big Mistakes are ready for that one. They laugh and by making the Baby learn their caveman language they convince the baby that they can kill its creativity (yes they call him an IT during this process on purpose) , thereby killing the Creator, which IS his creativity.

This is why babies oft look so confused.

candy and food and bright shiny things are substituted (now you know why he was crying)
and this suffices to addict him to money and food and chain him to the world.
He comes to free YOU of these bonds.

Sometimes the wise baby says: serpso. This means, 'these people have made a deal with the serpent.'
Then the baby decides to help them, which also can trick him into believing over time that their world of No-Creator is true. Or 'serpsoda' meaning "i find myself living among the people of the serpent" da is 'people of the'
And the Big Mistakes say, 'oh he wants some soda)

Right or wrong, that is exactly the conclusion you would have too, if you arrived here straight from Heaven.
Not all do, true. But the others are Close Enough. That is why you have to wait to see what they say.
and DO WHAT THEY SAY! Because you don't know a damn thing about it. What do you know about Heaven, your Real Home? Vague theories? Good, that's honest. Then learn from the babies new language. Don't kill it.
If they are straight from Heaven their words will have power and the world will start changing around them. Certain products will disappear off of shelves. Maybe YOU will disappear! (kidding) Maybe YOU will heal!

They say to the baby, "now you must learn to walk" and the wisest babies don't want to.
This is why:

around 1900 of your idiotic, unoriginal calendar the Creator decided this:
Because of rent crowding (Rent Crada) and money-chasing greed(Moon glaga) , and Big Mistakes trying to make the world the new hell, (the old one doesn't exist thank God),
man should evolve more and live in the sea like dolphins.
Don't believe me? Allow me to prove it.

If you have 100% belief in something in a world of unbelief, all you need is one other person to agree for the Creator's plan to unfold. Or in this case, to unflap and flip.

The babies that says "Dolmana" was told by the Creator that he could have flippers like a dolphin and live in the sea. It means, ' I wanna be like dolphins put me in the water'

If every single one of you wasn't acting like a Big Mistake you would remember in Heaven they taught you to say, when you here 'Dolmana" you were supposed to say, Finas quelt (be wrapped in the arm/fins of O's Love.)

Instead you laugh at his creativity and teach the baby to insult people and use words like 'Douche Bag" instead of Dolmana.
Wash out your mouths with soap, you Big Mistakes.
Here's the prove: Who could possibly summon up the faith and belief (with NoDoubt) to accomplish this miracle? Any of you? Probably not. It takes two. Then who?
Who has the faith of a little child to Move This Mountain and make tail flipper where legs were?
A little child! you neglectful Heaven-denying fucking Big Mistakes.
sorry. I'll wash MY hands out with soap. My mouth is clean. I remember the new language. This happened last month. I am fluent in it.

When you come here 100% from Heaven and remember it these things work. Ask Jesus.
Further proof: are there any in Heaven that (Od knows why) WANT to come down here into Unbelief Land? Yes. In Heaven,you DO think like a happy baby. They go,I want to be a dolphin person, can I Od? Od says yes, but this can be difficult. You'd maybe end up like a kamikaze pilot. But it is my Will.
The faith-children of Heaven usually say, I'll do it, I'll remember.

Guess what? Souls can be TREMENDOUSLY over-confidant in Heaven. There's no fear there!
They even say, watch me, I'll be first, i don't care if i die! Because death isn't REALLY Real and they know it IN THERE. Sometimes they don't wait because they are free!
They are actually allowed to be almost anything except not until certain conditions here are met.
Did at least one ask God,"When can i be dolphin person or sea-monkey?" Yes.
God has to keep telling them to wait and that filters down to me and I get pissed!
When will you people clear away the frigging shopping mall and build an aquarium for this Soul I know that wants to bring Heaven to you by being a giant Sea-Monkey!
It can be done by speaking with Power of the Word and belief. Simple actually.
Sorry, God, they want another Mall of unoriginal crap instead, He's gotta wait. Yes, I'll tell them.

I don't want to be a dolphin right now I have other work to do. It's not for everybody.
But if a baby starts speaking in the New Language and says 'Dolmana'
fucking get with the program, say, Finas quelt, and throw it in the sea where he will thrive.
If you don't and the baby starts giving you orders please follow them. You may learn something.
That's right there were a couple born already and they called them deformed.
YOU are deformed. Don't call any baby retarded or deformed.
You are retarded and deformed. Wake up.
