Album Notes

Ladies and gentleman – a few words about Music, the Inuit and Molotov USK. It shouldn’t be considered ironic that it was the great philosopher and healer Albert Schweitzer who once mused, “There are only two means of refuge from the misery of life – music and cats.”…Now hold your horses for a second…the first part is self evident, and the latter, well, I, for one, am pretty sure I know what the good doctor was getting at. Remember, this man lived in less enlightened, prosaic times, when language stunted. Which leads us to the Inuit, everyone knows these fellows have hundreds of words for snow. But, are you aware, naught a one for music? They have no word for…sorry, I should have said, “had”. Copies of Molotov USK’s latest release, THE GREAT TASTE – it’s been reported by reliable non-Eskimo sources – have been circulating Nunavut…well, let’s just say, the northern latitudes are heating up, and in a hurry…and you can look that up.

Ladies and gentleman – allow me to present Dave Leonard – axeman extraordinaire, slash and burn his modus vivendi; no quarter offered or asked his pledge – fire and ice at his fingertips.

On percussion, Winchester the Bruce, AKA The Lord of The Raw Hide Dragon.

Rob … the soul corner of the quartet – the bass a mere extension of his seminal imagination.

And, on vocals and rhythm guitar – the man who arm-wrestled Prometheus and won; unfortunately, he lost 2 of 3 in Roman-Greco to Zeus. No matter and no denying it, he has his hand, somehow, gripped firmly upon the Thunderbolt! Ladies and Gentleman, Peter Lyons.

Together, they are – a freight train hauling six metre waves and rivers running deep; whiskey kegs, beer barrels and hot tubs; insurrection, revolution and resurrection – firing full tilt, no brake installed, across arctic glaciers and desert plains, through canopy jungle and onwards toward the mountain canyon with the bridge out – in other words: MOLOTOV.USK…if you’re still sitting, stand up now! That way, in the lucid light of days to come, you’ll be able to, with some confidence, declare that it was all of your own free will.

And now, nostrum seekers, MOLOTOV.USK presents – THE GREAT TASTE!
