Originally issued by Lexicon Devil in 2003. This is Italy-based Jennifer Gentle's two albums, reissued onto one big double CD pack, tarted up with some dazzling new full-color artwork and a new title. So what the hell do they sound like and why are they so special? As Alan Bishop of the Sun City Girls said of them, "I think they've discovered a rare sound." There are elements in their music that remind me strongly of others in the Holy Pantheon of Total Greatness -- Syd's 'Floyd, Van Dyke Parks, Os Mutantes, Captain Beefheart, early Meat Puppets, Mothers of Invention, Funkadelic, Bongwater/Shockabilly, Godz, Residents, Faust, the Nuf Sed stable (Caroliner), Half Japanese -- but their synthesis of these influences (assuming they listen to these people) is the key to their sound.
