The latest issue of Mondo 2000 (Nina Hagen cover) has a Carl Craig interview
in which he explains the title "More Songs about Food and Revolutionary
Art". From what I remember, the title was actually a reflection of some
personal obsession with food (Captain Crunch or something). Thats no joke.
For the record, there are also interviews with Speedy J and some others.
