    1. You're welcome, Stanley. This is the CD edition with slewage o' xtry tracks, and they're very worthwhile, unlike most.

  2. Spider Barbour from Chrysalis was one of the voices used on Lumpy Gravy (as Farq mentioned in previous FZ post). According to my ‘extensive research’ a pair of U-87 microphones was placed in a piano for several days to record the participants response to FZ suggested topics, many hours was recorded. In 1994 much of the unused material appeared on the Synclavier heavy Civilization Phase III album.

    1. Back in the infancy of the internet, I located Mr. Barbour and we emailed a couple of times. He's a very respected leptidop - lepitopder - insect expert. His sleevenotes to this album are hauntingly beautiful (no, really) and I should try to track them down.

    2. Here's the link to the lp on discogs, and the page where it has photos of everything that was the album package. You can expand the back of the lp and get a more readable version of the notes. Also has a photo of the sleeve notes. https://www.discogs.com/master/531539-Chrysalis-Definition/image/SW1hZ2U6NjY4OTk3MTM=

    4. This is a different page to the one I lifted the back cover from, but it's the same blurry (to me) image I can't read. It's not often that sleeve notes are worth reading.

    A fine album indeed and one has to wonder how Mr Barbour's music developed after that? He did indeed become a member of a band called the Curmudgeons in the 1990's and they in turn produced an album of 16 Barbour penned songs called 'I Hear A Dog' in 1997.

    If anyone has access to a copy it may well be worthy of a listen?

      I think I need this album if ever I'm going to sleep again. Can some brave soul have a look inside Soulsuck?
