A little touch of Kula Shaker in the night.  And people say this band is humorless???!!!  This is classic.

Ok.


I recently had extolled the finer virtues of Of Montreal's ""Kissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer" album, and in return my boss said that it reminded him much of Kula Shakar (have I mentioned how cool my boss is?). He has a sick, crazy, unexpectedly wide ranging wonderful music collection. He's just been driven the last two years to make me listen to as much Kula Shakar as possible...and this is a fantastic representation of all that is good about that.


In return... I offer you one of the most wacked-out remnants of the weirdest, most unappreciated, inside jokes of the late 1980's. Rock and roll was so lost at this point that this little anomaly went totally under the radar. At the very height of XTC's inheritance of the desert that UK music had wondered off into...The absurdest, Monte-Python of U.K. alternative pop arose under the guise of The Dukes of Stratosphere. Releasing a two LP set under on CD named 25 O'clock.


Deal with it.
