Liner Notes:
Side Studio:
Miami Vice: From there all around just dusty earth a transition transmutation The Great Work: Ritual ecstasy as if under compulsion Driller Killer: That band on the second floor reverberates in my head Pasolini: Stolen pleasures rise & fall it’s too late Last Life in the Universe: Signify & realize this is only the introduction Pleasure Principle: Yearning sick & still unsatisfied not who you think you are
4 Track Attack:
Andre Breton: Something is hidden behind the velvet curtain but still all is calm as the unknown stretches the further they graze without harm Mythologies: This time I tried something new you can’t fail unless you try Dancing!: Recognition of the noir midnight-scapes illumination of the luscious sound-scapes
