"A+B=&
Fresh in the flesh from dropping the album, "Nogatco Rd." like a mutant step-child, Dr. Octagon, renknowned alien gynecologyst, gives an interview to the press about the research he and his team of elite "spin-doctors" have been conducting in the area of the Roswell crash. I have tastefully layered this historically significant release of very important information to the public with an appropriately terrifying tune: Bernard Hermann's "Prelude" from the score to Alfred Hitchcok's "Vertigo."

"Clerodendrum Ugandense" (3.7 MB)
This track is a celebration of that wonderful drug, "Substance-D," with which we would be all too familiar, if they weren't dumbing us down to the fact by dumping it into our water supply. In this track, the ever astounding Kool Keith, as Dr. Octagon, his premiere persona, contributes the straight track, "Blue Flowers" from his eminent album, "Octagonycaologyst." This is mixed (1:1, as in cooking) with Graham Reynolds and the Golden Arm Trio's song, "Little Blue Flowers," track twenty from the soundtrack album for the amazing film "A Scanner Darkly," based on that infamously mind-blowing novel by sci-fi novelist Philip K. Dick. The title for this track is taken from the latin name (Mors Ontologica) for the genus of the "blue butterfly" flower in Dick's story.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hitchcock, Dali¬‚ and Herrmann on acid" (6.8 MB)
This track is a remix of "Prelude," "Farewell and the Tower," and "The Necklace, The Return and FinalˆÉ¬©" from the score by Bernard Hermann to the film "Vertigo" by Alfred Hitchcock. This track also features a percussion solo of unknown origins, duly pitch-shifted to correspond with the faster and slower rhthyms of the orchestral score.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Saturn's Sermon" (2.2 MB)
Maynard Keenan, from the bands TOOL and A Perfect Circle, delivers his unforgettable sermon of "impending doom" from the "hidden" track, "DIsgustipated," from TOOL's breakthrough album, "Undertow." This is mixed with the radar wave transmission from NASA's Cassini space-probe as it approached and passed the rings of Saturn, which can be found online here: http://www-pw.physics.uiowa.edu/cassini/. I pitch-shifted the sounds of Saturn's rings and overlapped them at various pitches.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Disgustipation cured by Kinky Sex" (4.9 MB)
This "ultimate murder ballad" combines the remainder of TOOL's hidden track, "Disgustipated," from their album "Undertow," with the Dead Kennedy's track, "Kinky Sex (Makes the World Go 'Round)," from their album "Give Me Convenience Or Give Me Death." If you might find listening to Jello Biafra describe the motives for WWIII at the same time as Maynard blasts his way through a mad chant with a shotgun, this song's your huckleberry.

"the Illuminati" (8.6 MB)
On a more serious tip, this track delves into the actual origins for the real, "legitimate" conspiracy of international bankers orchestrated their plan to control the minds of the entire human race. Edited from only the pertinent clips of Myron Fagan's 1950's album, "The Illuminati and the Council on Foreign Relations," which can be found, in its entirety, online here: http://www.archive.org/details/MyronFagan-TheIlluminatiAndTheCouncilOnForeignRelations. This track is mixed with two tracks from the contemporary "lounge" genre of music, now called "exotica." These tracks are...

"Three World Wars" (7.2 MB)
Continuing with a topically edited analysis of Myron Fagan's "the Illuminati and the Council on Foreign Relations," this track addresses the "Pike/Mazzini" conspiracy theory, quoting extensively from the mysterious and potentially fictional "letter" between these two prominent historical figures of their day, planning long in advance the two world wars we went through during the 20th century, and outlining a third world war, which we have yet to begin. The music for this track is provided from two tracks. The first is, Hungarian Rhapsody No.2 in C sharp minor, S.244 performed by David Hirschfelder, from his soundtrack to the film "Shine" about pianist David Helfgott. The second is, "the conspirators," from John Williams' soundtrack to Oliver Stone's film, "JFK." Personally, I believe JFK was murdered by George Herbert Walker Bush (the current president's father), because Kennedy had discovered Bush's plan to orchestrate 9-11 in the year 2001, which, by the way, we know for certain that he did.

"Solipsist's Sutra" (3 MB)
This track combines a dirge for a fallen lhama by the tantric hoir of the Drepung Gomang monks with another piece, by them as well, performed on long horns, which I have played both backwards and forwards. The vocals are from two tracks on the soundtrack excerpting dialogue from the film, "Little Buddha."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Nirvana, Unto Me" (4.3 MB)
Kurt Cobain, of the late musical group "Nirvana," performs "If You Must," a rare, apocryphal track not included on any officially released album (including the Nirvana box-set). Coupling this track, and half the volume, is the Dadaist performance from the "hidden" track, following "Something in the Way," on the Japanese import version of Nirvana's album "Nevermind." Nothing more can be said about this track except that it proves that "more is better," and "you can never have enough," when it comes to the music of "Nirvana."
