Still get thrills at the beginning...kinda sounds like he's saying 'Latimer Kaiser Soce!' but I seem to recall that when we were all cueing it up on turntables at home it sounded like he said something like 'Music is reversible, but Time isn't' backwards...It was COOL in its time!

If you put the needle down on the original vinyl LP of this opening track and manually spun it backwards, the "gibberish" in the intro. actually turns into a sentence. If I recall correctly, it's something like "The music is reversible" or "The music is backwards". It's been years since I did this. Can anybody back me up on this with additional info./input? |

I remember a Formula 1 car seem to jump straight up out of the pack and flip backwards. I bet Jackie Stewart remembers! |

the shamelessly profanising use of classical music themes, here transformed to total kitsch, is so over-the-top you can either hate this or laugh out aloud. to call this "eclectic" is really too harmless...
otherwise, i have to admit that i really like the outcome, on an emotional level, although my "intellectual self" is saying "horrid! keep away! this is barbaric!" my feelings say "whow!" this record and the one before; Eldorado, certainly have a conceptual timbre that lends itself to a more musically deliberate context when the entire albums are listened to. A cursory familiarization with the band bio might also be most interesting to music lover such as yourself. By the way, is that "horrid" as expressed by, say, Edvard Munchs The Scream, or more say, the intense emotion experienced by the virtual image of runny eggs languishing on a tepid stack of rocks? ;) |

The intro reminds me of "Scars" by Basement Jaxx- which I've actually been thinking would be fun to hear again.

I liked this album and its predecessors, but they started to lose me real fast with the subsequent ones.
