The Sound of Animals Fighting - Lover The Lord Has Left Us

"No Retreat!" - Someone says that several times on one of these cuts. The liner notes on this beautifully packaged CD are in some sort of medieval Germanic script, so your guess is as good as mein, herr. But if you take vocals in the language of your choice, preferably sung in a Yurt; a mellow yellow cello; the spoken word version of "Stairway To Heaven;" some Edgar Varese, or Frank Zappa, if you will; a dash of Nina Hagen, say something from "NunSexMonkRock;" Urzula Dudziak's vocals; a viola solo by John Cale played just after he dropped a piano from a tall building with John Cage to see what it sounds like; obscure Norwegian bands such as 120 Days, Don Juan Dracula and Low Frequency In Stereo; the Nairobi Trio's rhythm section; Wazmo Nariz, who always wore two ties for some reason; a duet by Rat Scabies and Johnny Rotten; Sigmund Snopek III's backwards recording of Napoleon XIV's "They're Coming To Take Me Away, Ha, Ha" played forwards; the musical saw player from in front of the Redwood City, CA downtown library (when it's warm); and some scat singing by the Legendary Stardust Cowboy. Shake but don't stir, and you'll get an approximation of the sound of this CD. But only if you don't forget to add an "eye of newt" and a Cow Moo from Wisconsin. "There, you see how narrow our concept of music is." - from "The Heretic," by The Sound Of Animals Fighting. [www.thesoundofanimalsfighting.com]
