Alien
Original 1985 LP edition. This one is a bit of an outlier. More a showcase for keyboardist Don Preston’s (The Mothers Of Invention) array of 1980s synthesizers and drum machines than a jazz album. As the story goes composer Michael Mantler wrote this…

Mannheim HBF
So the bad news is, in a fit of pique, I asked Chat GPT (nicely) to compose a one-sheet for the new Shit and Shine double album, ‘Mannheim HBF’. The even worse news (yes, even worse than resorting to such tactics) is that the resulting biography is…

White Phosphorus (Chris Connelly plays Throbbing Gristle)
