Album Notes

norMal Musik

From the silence of New Mexico's eastern mountains leaps this symphony of montages and grooves, snippets of fairytales, growls, spoofs, bits and bites, evocative and guttural. A viewpoint from the future, echoes from the ancient past, extracted from the chaos of white noise.

Here's a brief rundown of the tracks:

The Legend of Prince Bobby Jack: History of a hip hustler who became a homeless husk.


Solemnly I Stare: A dark lament against stupidity and waste.

Little Engine: An optimistic tale of transcendence.

Out of the Wild: A report from the other Earth.

Grace under My Sole: War correspondence.

Wheelchair Rock: Where does Fellini get his ideas?

Dada de Nada: This is not a piece of music.

River: In the eddies swirl glimpses of thoughts you might have had.

Nero's Expedition: A round by the great Moondog, the tale of a tyrant defeated by flowers.

Mali: A tribute to the beautiful music of Toumani Diabate.

The Program: Colonize Earth with intelligent beings!


These musical collages were created by Justin Parker and Arnold Bodmer of SOLID GHOST, and guest artist, Dwight Loop between Augist and November of 2007 at
"Off the Grid studios" in Tijeras, NM.
