I'm not entirely certain what this one "means", and - apropos of nothing- I've filled four boxes of tapes for storage. This could be a rejection of all things related to Pachelbel's Canon in D (which figures greatly in this), or perhaps a meditation on the movie "Ordinary People". A full picture may reveal itself later upon relistening, although I might skip past all the violins.
- Wow and clatter
- Aliens and violins (Pachelbel's laser cannon)
- More sax and violins
- We are not done with that cannon yet
- Children merrily skipping
- Alpert and Esquivel fight it out
- Burroughs struggles to be heard
- That would be fine
- Kleztistic
- The Little Fishes are in Bed
- Take a breath
- The floor is about to give
- Oversize linotype

After hearing this one all the way through a few times, I think this show has long been one of my favorites in its evolving, un-themed, sporadic and organic development. The long continuum from W. S. Burroughs' appearance to the questionable "wake up!" shriek is one I remember well. Hearing it again, I can also name some of the sources long forgotten even though I don't have the flowsheet to share:
- Dr. Fiorella Terenzi (space sounds)
- Nonsense Verse, album of Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear
- Del Wood, queen of honky tonk piano
- K. K. Null and Jim O'Rourke, A New Kind of Water (garbage guitars)
- Smegma, unknown album (loops, horns, and car alarms)
- De La Guarda
- Music to Grow Plants By (the cheesy "Alpert/Esquivel" music masking a weird high-pitched tone heard between tracks)
