Citizen Bravo is Matt Brennan. Born in Canada, he immigrated to Scotland at the age of 22 to study and make music. Citizen Bravo was conceived as a "music and research experiment." The album is a celebration of the life and work of Ivor Cutler, "an artist of unrivalled musical and poetic vision."
“Psychedelic art-rock band Vertacyn Arc Materializer is based in the San Francisco Bay Area of Earth (Sol III, Terra, C-53). The anxiety of Talking Heads, the despondent drones of Flipper, the awkward electronica of Radiohead, the parallel-universe insanity of Butthole Surfers. Live shows include narrated kodachrome slide projector presentations and beaten trash can lids superposed with stressful pop hooks and vanishingly quiet chaos.”
About this poem: “This poem uses syntax to explore simultaneous fields of thought and existence. It also reflects on how poems are a tool of both transformation and travel through time and space. The practice of poem-making results in its own and new form(s), and, if successful, includes the changing and transport of both the writer and reader.” - Marwa Helal
Second solo album of Kevin Ayers, a founding member of Soft Machine. David Ross Smith of AllMusic writes: “A snapshot of the era, the album is saturated with original ideas, experimentation, and lunacy, all powered by the bottled grape.” Originally released in 1970 on Harvest Records. This song was a bonus track from the 2003 Harvest reissue.
