"War at last"? Hmm. Is that like "For your beautiful life," I wonder?!
P.S. Off-topic, but...Has anyone ever compared your music/vocal style to that of Edward Ka-Spel (of Legendary Pink Dots fame) before? Just curious as to whether he has had any influence on you or not. Very nice website, BTW. :)
I have heard talk of this Ka-Spel fellow. Did check his solo stuff out once and found it... I don't know... sort of electro-gothy-cabaret. I didn't see much overlap with my own work.
Ka-Spel is quite brilliant, IMO, particularly as a lyricist. The (loose) comparison was meant as a complement! :) I'll have to go back and listen to more of your work, at any rate (I liked what I heard)...
I'd recommend checking out LPD's The Maria Dimension (http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000007QWX/qid=1093745896/sr=1-24/ref=sr_1_0_24/249-1834427-8189132) if you have a chance. Very unique.
Edward Kaspel has a few solid albums with his groups Legendary Pink Dots and The Tear Garden, but I hate comparisons. "Electro-gothy-cabaret" seems a fair description of most of what he does, however.
Quite different, though. It always seems inappropriate to compare particular musicians. I could say you were a little like Robyn Hitchcock or Jaques Brel or Tiny Tim and be equally way off target.
Que est-elle Momus? It's a mystery. Fortunately for you, lots of people like mysteries.
