Very fast record (12 tracks for 18 minutes), minimal in song duration, but also an admixture among mean and animal, primitive, sometimes solar tunes.

There are 4 ska/reggae/dub tracks (Alaska, Anaconda, Kind Titan - hommage to Gentle Giant - and Epifonema), a pereubian waltz (Il Valzer di Paolo), avantprog (Gestalt, Roundabout), experimental (Ammutinamento!, Glasgow Coma Score, Entropia), a strange stomp& harmonica endless startup (Catfight) and a drama number (Panic in the Elevator).

This record is a brief journey through Dada art movement. Opening track is dedicated to Cabaret Voltaire, a swiss nightclub where all started by a group of european artists. First founder, and subject of second track, was Hugo Ball (he wrote the small poem I-Zimbra, which was subsequently used as a lyrics by Talking Heads in their namesake song). Hence continues the portrait gallery of Dadaists, interrupted sometimes by three small tracks called Shiver.
To people with few or no knowledge about dadaists, booklet here is strongly recommended, as it feeds some important elements to identify the relationship between…

It's a story about a doped killer on the way to catch his victim, during a whole night in Savannah (GA). Five scenes includes an introduction (The Wanderer, genre alt. pop), where the killer wake up from drugs effects, and the subsequent route through the latin area (La Posada de Joaquín Ortega, latin jazz), downtown (Downtown Strut, funky), and actually on Savannah harbour (Port of Savannah, avant prog). Last three minutes of blistering hysterical chase are enclosed in ending track, Gotcha (hardtechno).

Soundtrack made in 1989 on Amiga 500 with MED: so only 4 mono channels. :-D
Like All Eight-Bit Deboned tracks, It's the Loveliest Thing I've Ever Heard is minimal avant electronics similar to Bruce Haack / The Residents outputs.

Mjǫllnir (also spelled Mjöllnir or Mjölner, pronounced /ˈmy-oll-nir/ or /ˈmjɔːlnər/ in English) is the hammer of Thor, a major god associated with thunder in Norse mythology. Distinctively shaped, Mjöllnir is depicted as one of the most fearsome weapons, capable of leveling mountains. Though generally recognized and depicted as a hammer, Mjöllnir is sometimes referred to as an axe or club. In the 13th century Prose Edda, Snorri Sturluson relates that the Svartálfar Sindri and Brokkr made Mjöllnir at the command of Loki.

The Prose Edda gives a summary of Mjöllnir’s special qualities in that, with Mjöllnir, Thor:

Soundtrack is a song from my album "Outskirt" (2008); I took St. Petersburg Winter Palace - left empty when Nicholas II and imperial family moved to Alexander Palace - as a hint to depict 1905 russian Bloody Sunday.

"Bloody Sunday (Russian: Кровавое воскресенье) was an incident on January 22 1905 in St. Petersburg, Russia, where unarmed, peaceful demonstrators marching to present a petition to Tsar Nicholas II were gunned down by the Imperial Guard. The march was organized by Father Gapon, who had collaborated with Sergei Zubatov of the Okhrana, the Tsarist secret police, to create workers' organizations and…

Subject of clip is swines. I like them, they're clever and it's a stupid common place they love to squelch in the dirt. Vietnamese little pigs are clean like cats.

Video is an operatic dadaist inferno - where pigs are menacingly main characters. Not an happy end (as it's my favorite mood), but everybody knows what's a swine destiny (no gory images, anyway).

Fourth release by Hox Vox, it's a concept album about stars - both intended as prima ballerinas and cosmic bodies - and their issues.

Genre is a series of various kind of mix with world music, symphonic progressive, a bit of contemporary and kraut electronics, always with the free approach of Rock in Opposition tradition (from Zappa to Henry Cow): sometime resulting in complex structures with mindbending pairings of melodies with subtle detuned arrangments. Record start with a Residents-like intro sung by a couple of real pigs, then a piece of math/art rock, sounding like a too dry death…
