LP version. Edition of 300. One fine evening in Rotterdam, after witnessing him walking around in a circle with a stick for half-an-hour, Lukas Simonis asked Dominic Robertson (aka Ergo Phizmiz) to join him in a rapid-fire songwriting bonanza. Many songs resulted, tunes about mermaids, mistakes, compost manufacture, celebrity perverts, geometry, and so on. Lukas is a guitar wizard and a king in the world of weirdoes. Dominic is just... a weirdo, but he is England's greatest entertainer, so that's ok. Make way, roll out the red carpet for songs about Satan, sorrows, the woes of the rock n' roll lifestyle, and scorpions, engaging instruments like guitars, drums, flutes, cellos, tubas, and trumpets. So, you might want to know, what kind of music this vortex turned into: Imagine a strangely, brilliant intersection among Wire, R. Stevie Moore, Bonzo Dog Band, and XTC, with quite a bit of ruminating... but a most delightful, kaleidoscopic confection for the ear.
