'go sumo' is a horrible track, which makes one appreciate the excellent
tracks 'go sheep' and 'puzl' that much more.
on rainy, introspective days, i often wonder if 'go sheep' is a weird and
perverted inside joke at the expense of the welsh; or perhaps a weird and
perverted inside joke at the expense of the mindless prats who buy into the
whole music culture, go the raves, eat the drugs, etc. then again, the
music could mean absolutely nothing, a subtle anthem to nihilism. you just
can't take their music at face value with a title like that; the
imagination must run free and unfettered.
