Genuinely appreciated by their fans, they were known for music with a distinct arrangement style drawing from rock, rap (they often used a melodic-chorus/rap-verse pattern), funk, jazz, electronica, and sampling-based production. Reggae was also a very heavy influence, rhythmically and vocally. This unique blend was virtually nonexistent elsewhere.
Earthsuit only had one label release: Kaleidoscope Superior (2000). Two prior demo EPs contained early versions of some of Kaleidoscope Superior's songs, some unreleased songs, and a live medley including a cover of "Killing Me Softly". Their final album, The Rise of Modern Simulation (2003) was released after the band had already dissolved. It was available for a short time to be purchased directly from the band's website. This collection features five original studio songs, as well as 11 bonus tracks including a live remix of The Kaleidoscope Superior track “Against the Grain” and practice sessions of some of their concert material (such as the “Said the Sun To the Shine” Kraftwerk medley, an outro medley, and a cover of the Talking Heads' "Once in a Lifetime"). It also features several concert videos and Live Recordings from a Concert (at the http://murgopenair.ch) in Frauenfeld.
Members Paul Meany, Roy Mitchell, and Darren King are now in the band Mute Math, which has experienced success in the mainstream market. Adam LaClave went on to form the bands Macrosick and Club of the Sons, and has most recently recorded as a solo artist under the moniker Charlie Blacksmoke.
One Time
Earthsuit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the realms of the rhyme
People of the rock come and rock one time
When we bring the sound
You know the light of God shine
Poeple of the rock come and rock one time
Anyone thirst there's plenty of new wine
People of the rock come and rock one time
People of the rock and the father
To come and fill us
One time, one time, one time, one time, one time
Everybody body get your hands up
And grab for more new wine that's falling more than you can stand up
Got the vision for the rough terrain, desolate the sane
Lord, hit me one time, infiltrate the mind
Everybody, everybody, body, body
Everybody, body, body
Everybody, body, body
It's a one time shot
Father, come and fill us one time, one time
Father, come and fill us
Smoke from the wick, yesterday burnt the candle
Daily shots are all than I can handle
I see you've gone blind
You want to find the philosophies of the Play-Doh man
But you can't because it's a spectacle
Everybody, everybody, body, body
Everybody, body, body
Everybody, body, body
It's a one time shot
Do re mi fa so la ti do ti la so fa me re do
I warm up my tongue to engage in a lyrical war
Now I'm ready to go
So I reckon the second I'm decking and checking
And wrecking the mic yo
I've got the kingdom of darkness talking that I am a psycho
Earthsuit is in the house, so figure out what the deal is
I'm gripping the mic and I'm flipping it right
And you've got to get ready to hear this
I promise to tell the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth
Funkmounth to bootcha
The Father to come and fill us one time

I'll show off my skills and make sure everything is in order
And wrecking the mic yo
And I'll do it in a powerful, impressive way
I've got the kingdom of darkness talking that I am a psycho
My enemies are afraid of me and underestimate me
Earthsuit is in the house, so figure out what the deal is
We're here and we're ready to impress
I'm gripping the mic and I'm flipping it right
I'm holding the microphone and doing an amazing job
And you've got to get ready to hear this
And the audience needs to be prepared for what's coming
I promise to tell the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth
I swear to be honest and genuine in my performance
Funkmounth to bootcha
A nonsense phrase used for rhyme and rhythm
The Father to come and fill us one time
God, please fill us with your love and grace just this once
