Well, Brad Laner (Medicine/Fourwaycross/Steaming Coils) titled all the songs on his ELECTRIC COMPANY debut album with anagrams of the LP's title, _A Pert Cyclic Omen_ (itself an anagram of 'electric company'). You have to suspect something when these are the track titles: PA intercom cycle polymeric accent elm crypt oceanic electro amp cynic come circa plenty cyclic pee matron in compact celery cyclopean metric and - my favorite: i can cop my tercel looks like RDJ has some competition! Laner's one creative guy - and Analogue Bubblebath fans could do worse than to check out the music. Electric Company sound something like _Quique_-era Seefeel, Flying Saucer Attack feedback overload, and SAWII electronic ambience. Very entertaining. Laner claims that he made the record while trying out his new sampler, and it's intended as the sonic equivalent of "bachelor pad wallpaper" The CD is out of print (came out on American's Onion imprint), but you might be able to track a copy down in a used bin somewhere. Great album. I mean, "blume GRA art" (c: gman, too.
