I share your appreciation of the RDJ Album. One strange thought I had
concerning the brevity of each track was that listening to each song is a
glimpse into a scene/universe/juxtaposition that is in a state of perpetual
existence, perhaps even manifesting itself as a resonating influence in my
own dimension at times, sort of like situational archetypes, only stranger
and more specific: Fingerbib is carreening through the galaxies meeting
strange an' wonderful beings, while Goon Gumpas skips thru wintertime
London, circa 1820, for evermore.
Thank you, Richard James! Please keep releasing tracks, even after your
inventions make you feelthy rich.
