January 2006

Banished in Spattered Relish - Pieros 009 CD
Rioting in a house of runaway dreams went on for several days.
After several days of chaos, distinctions between guards and inmates
blurred. Small group of sly ones sneaked out quietly and settled on an
abandoned mustard farm. There they lived happily ever before and after.
Tilling the corrugated hemp and raising a small flock of winged
lizard-rats filled their week-ends, month-beginnings and year-middles.

Record is 60 minutes long; there are 10 tracks, some songy, some
instrumentally. Handmade cover. 12 Euro includes shipping.
Please pay by Paypal or cash.

September 2005:
And Soon Coffin Sings - Pieros 008 CD

Cover Image
€18.00

Three instrumental tracks, 72 minutes of sounds from a parallel world.
Ocean's fleshy psyche
Aimlessly branches out through hare-frost,
Ant-port and myself
Hot hoe became grass eye
From whence puzzles consume caffeine backwards

Eyes could have it
Ears could have it
Subtle light reflected towards woolen periwinkles
Scent of panning bathtubs
Eternal stimulation.

Her first deep eel cupped her heart at once
And nulled vehicular freedom.
Encased in chemical bondage
Four strings chime a distant bell
From time and place light ears away.

Price 15 Euro including shipping. Please pay by Paypal or send cash.

.

In 1967 Jiri Nepomuk Prihoda escaped from his native Czechoslovakia. Unlike most escapees he did not aim for the West, but for North East.

Bering Sea is a reflection on one of his stories. CD contains one 62 minute track and each one comes in a handprinted linocut. It costs 12 Euro including postage.


November 2004:
Tangomango, the new full length album is now available.

Cover Image
€17.00

In disappearing autumn warmth things whirl a tad differently. Soft rain addds depth to a 400 mile view where silent dancers perform splits through needles of viscous years. And than and than the night. Heavy scented and pregnant with almost full green moon. Silver herons fish for eels in bamboo grove to be. And there on top of the grassy knoll tango dancing mango.

Sensuous silky purse with sixteen paged booklet of pictures and lyrics. And a dance record, record to dance tango to; vertically, horizontally, obliquely, directly, indirectly, physically or mentally.
If disinclined to dance, try eating a mango or two while listening to it. Or try both, it's a free juicy world somewhere out there.
