An opera by Peter Hammill and Chris Judge Smith.
Sarah Jane Morris - Chorus
Andy Bell - Montresor
Lene Lovich - Madeline
Herbert Grönemeyer - The Herbalist
Peter Hammill - Usher

I am playing this now. It is a real opera, not a bunch of songs put together. If you recognise the names of the performers, they are who you think they are, not someone with the same name.

Mojo called it a "Towering folly," and said that it was best avoided; they're bonkers, but it is very easy to avoid these days, as it is only available 2nd hand, for £120. Or a PM to me...

The singer is a neurotic drinker, the band little more than a big crashing beat; instruments collide and we all get drunk.

"I'm jealous of the people the people I fall in love with, fall in love with."
