Original and long time no see, limited edition of 700 copies. Far-out electro-acoustic sound collage, a development of ideas explored more briefly on Oizzo No. Sounds and voices in unexpected juxtapositions, and distorted in strange ways. It's outlandish enough to make it genuinely uneasy listening, and very imaginative, but as far as the genre's concerned it's all quite respectable, quite traditional. A simple narrative underlies all of Charlotte Corday, so it could be viewed simply as an abstract piece of sound theatre
