This album was originally released in 1980 and it is the best album of that decade, as it satirically typifies the shady border between art and commerce which was the crux of that time. We have 40 one minute songs covering a range of dark subjects (Death of children. . .Mental illness in loved ones. . .Inner thoughts of serial killers. . .etc) all set to deliciously loopy, childlike melodies. In a warped kind of way, it chronicles the transition in popular music from angry punk to hyperkinetic, polyrhythmic new wave. Heavy on electronic keyboards, think of it as Commercial jingles from some Dostoyevskian Underground.
