Rock Section Stories: Insight into the ‘Department Store of the Soul’

Department Store of the Soul: Rock Section and Other Stories Kindle Edition

by Robert William Courtney (Author)  Format: Kindle Edition

The Legend of Rock Section is the mythic thread woven through The Department Store of the Soul, part alter ego, part spiritual archetype, part cosmic prank. Born from a psychic séance where the spirit of Jim Morrison allegedly dictated a song—“Rock Section”—to a group of young seekers, he emerged not just as a band name or song title, but as an encoded identity. A one-man revolution hidden in plain sight. A psychic download. A mystery school in a guitar riff.

Rock Section is the eternal outsider, forged in a cauldron of broken dreams, creative betrayal, and buried power. He disappears when wounded, retreats into myth, then resurfaces years later when the stars realign—namely, during the spiritual liberation of 2020, when time stopped and everything false burned away. He lives at the intersection of shamanism, glam punk, psychic rebellion, and esoteric truth.

He is the man who can walk through fire because he remembers he is the fire. The silent witness at your most transformative moment. The spirit that never dies, just reincarnates through melody, word, and spark. He is the part of you that refuses to give in to mediocrity. And when you’re ready to return to the truth of who you are, he’s already there—waiting with a leather jacket, a battered notebook, and the next verse of your life’s song.

Rock Section isn’t just a legend. He’s a code in your soul, waiting to be activated.

Singles – Unleashing the Fuzz: 31 Tracks of Modern Rock Revival

“The 31-track, Twenty-First Century Singles compilation album, featuring “New Rock Section”. A sonic time capsule cracked open, unleashing a swirling storm of fuzz-laden riffs and unrelenting rhythm. The track embodies the band’s signature blend of psychedelic garage rock, post-punk grit, and alternative audacity. It is a sound that has always been ahead of its time, whether in the 1980s or today’s era of genre-fluid rock revivalists”. Exposed Vocals

New Album ’31’

“An album getting more interest these days, as it was always meant to be, with the original cover and missing tracks. One of a few missing links between the One Million Fuzztone Guitars of the 1980s and the 2020s.

We Want Our Apocalypse Now (Remix) [Radio Edit]

Inspired by working on Paris Fashion Shows and the book ‘The Beautiful Fall’ about the 

rivalries and excess that left Rock and Roll standing, this truly genius remix by Ghost Flu Studios finally got the 46 tracks of the original to hang together and turn into the rock classic it was always threatening to be. “The first Roxy Music album meets Bowies Heroes, and then Steve Jones walks into the studio for the chorus; you certainly know how to create a stunning dynamic”.  

“Wow, the end product is very professional! It’s become quite an amazing track. Very surprising!” AQ

“I’m a huge Nine Inch Nails fan, and I think I can hear their influence in this track with the electronic style drums/drum patterns blended with rock/metal guitar flavours. Very, very cool.” LK

“Love the pool of influences, man, especially the first Roxy Music album. Remake/Remodel is absolutely genius, and I’m a huge fan of all things Brian Eno”. LK

It’s A Soul Life

“It’s a Soul Life” embodies the desire to revisit the purity of our inception, Skin Patrol emerged from a love of nihilistic minimalism of The Stooges and The Velvet Underground, One Million Fuzztone Guitars from the confrontational drum-machine beats of early Suicide and Throbbing Gristle, and the DIY synth-world of SoftCell. The song was captured in one unrehearsed seamless live take and later polished with a touch of finesse for the official release, although it remained remarkably powerful right from the raw essence of the original composition featuring the SR18 Drum Machine and Stylophone. The song’s message centres around returning to fundamentals and embracing positivity amidst the chaos of the present times, representing a back-to-basics approach in its message. We love basic!

5EXYA55USA

5EXYA55USA, by One Million Fuzztone Guitars and Skin Patrol. Inspired by a news story a few years back, some of the young and rich in a country in the Middle East had found that if they translated their number plates into English (allowed), they came up with outrageous slogans. Since removed, it may have been a prank, but the song was born by then and not about to go away as it resonated with our humorous sensibilities. The title of this song is one such: forget sad vanity personalised number plates; this is an uptempo, Euro-Disco, Italo-House inspired, synth-drenched, fuzzed-up, indie disco revolution!
