The Happiest Country On Earth
Here's some new material for you as promised. Please have a listen if you like, and let me know what you think. Much of this was recorded live-in-studio, there's less cut-and-paste going on than there was on Perverted Architect -- although there is some still, especially on tracks 2 and 4.

Music To Listen To Other Tapes By
