    "The CD track-list was unfathomable since some tracks could only be accessed via the previous one, or were even split in two and scattered. Artificial crackles were added in places to make it sound like a badly worn vinyl record. Outlandish interludes - a premature burial, an apocalyptic news bulletin from a station identified as ‘K.I.L.L Radio’, a recital from a book of Voodoo – leapt out inexplicably. All served to plunge the already volatile horror-tinged chaos into a mentally unhinged spiral. With no pretentions to any rationality the sleeve notes were as deranged as the audio captured within, and in stark contrast to their cartooning contemporaries the front cover graphically redefined ‘Psychobilly’ fans’ trademark flat top hairstyle as a fatal head injury. What can truly be said about ‘The Last Train To Purgatory’ is that everything about it was off the rails".

about

Monologue.

lyrics

Let me tell you dear listener, of an experience that I had one cool dry night whilst faraway from home.
An experience which even now even to me in the stark light of day seems almost unreal and dreamlike.
Whilst out walking alone my hearing picked up the sound of far off drums.
Purely out of curiosity I followed the sound at an increasingly unleisurely pace through the brick and concrete that is this civilisations jungle.
The sound eventually drew me to a clearing, where I witnessed a truly fantastic and orgiastical performance which seemed to me to represent the very thin line between modern society and the primitive.
Swirling, colliding dancers, totally oblivious to all around them, seemingly possessed by spirits long since dead to this world were howling, glassy-eyed and drinking from bottles in staggering amounts.
The rhythmic energies of the ceremony were being provided by three instrumentalists on a raised platform bathed in light, whose chants - whilst incomprehensible to me - appeared to have great meaning to these revelers.
I felt drawn into this chaos, finding my body reacting to the cacophony almost with a will of its' own.
Eventually, shedding the cautions of an outsider I behaved as they did - howling and dancing abandonedly into the night.
Amen.
