Falsetto sighs, folkie strumming, subtly progressive drum tracks, fire-sale jazz chords and microdot banter mark this King Crimson/Floyd mystery meat, most of it equal parts industro-Misfits and early Zappa straightjacket jazz. The least forgettable rants would have to be “Covered in Ice” and “I Have Returned,” but all of it has obviously undergone multiple surgeries to enhance the production and provide brevity – there’s little if any filler, and an antique melotron can be heard in “Dear Majesty.” Guys this odd tend to find themselves eating their centipede burgers alone, even at art school.
