It's a great album. > I made a tape of the album from a college roomate's disc and I still > listen to it 9 years later. Other songs on the album include: > THE NEUTRINO (not the exact title) > ANUS FROM URANUS > THE MAN WHO WENT TO HELL AND CAME BACK ALIVE (again imprecise) > and others. The name of the band is KLAATU, and the album to which you are referring is their first, entitled 3:47 EST. They have six albums altogether. These are : 3:47 EST Hope Sir Army Suit Endangered Species Magentalane Klassic Klaatu (a sort of greatest hits deal) These albums contain a lot of neat tricks. For example, there is a song called Silly Boys on Sir Army Suit that is actually Anus Of Uranus played backwards. There are some pretty wild sounds too. The band was Canadian by the way, three displaced Englishmen based in Toronto. When Capitol Records picked them up in the States, they hyped them as the Beatles (about 1976). For the first three albums, they refused to reveal their identities. The albums are definitely worth a listen. -- A memo from the desk of : Larry W.
