Colonna sonora per uno spettacolino grandguignolesco di infima serie in una periferia metropolitana buia e semi abbandonata.
Musica malconcia, stonatina e cagionevole come la voce del cantante che sembra uscire, dignitosamente effeminata, dal dietro le quinte del rocky horror picture eccetera. Partono i primi suoni, si sente il rumore di una puntina che gratta il vinile e subito si inceppa: “ci-ne-ma… ci-ne-ma… ”, poi ha inizio il primo ballettino (macabro, manco a dirlo) che scivola via orecchiabile (?) e facile (si, facile si) nonostante la voce urticante del ragazzetto di Los Angeles. Poi una seconda traccia in cui, all’inizio, si sente più forte il debito nei confronti di tanta new-nu wave, finché non parte un organo a riportare l’ascolto verso una teatralità più bauhausiana.
Oddio proprio bauhausiana no… i riferimenti sono piuttosto Rozz(i), Andy Sexgang e affini. In effetti appena l’arrangiamento si fa vagamente più presuntuoso si sente subito puzza di un dilettantismo divertito e gli improbabili drumbreak sono lì a testimoniarlo, lapidari ed eloquenti come epitaffi. Ma va be’, le premesse erano quelle: puro e sano entertainment ironico-batcave, molto più godibile in un localino uso a certe “carnevalate darche” che tra le mura domestiche. Altrimenti c’è il rischio che il cane inizi ad ululare e il vicino-dalle-orecchie-raffinate a menzionare tutti gli dei dell’olimpo in un rigoroso ordine alfabetico.
Assolutamente da ascoltare solo dopo un severo lavoro di make-up e pazienti esercizi di immedesimazione. Ci-ne-ma, ci-ne-ma, ci-ne-ma.

01 Aboriginal Anemia (04:38)
You sit watching your brother die 'cause he chewed on sickly rabbit. Poor boy Parzifal likes to hunt his sister, and so infection sets in like a gang of wolves licking at the heels of the anemic aboriginal hunting grounds, where you sprain your thumb throwing rocks at cadavers. Bashing in my weakened knees, bashing in my weakened knees...
Animal people scale the walls so easily: your bitter family! Holding court without your cousin, rectify your viral sanction. Anxious ears solicit thee, my snarling spies sit down to tea and ignore the bubbling sores that swell and spit along your backbone!
Call your general, fortify his skin so my disease can't penetrate your china shack of ignorance and purple turbans! Split the bread between your chins, annihilate bacteria! Eating, breeding serfs and peasants, bloody plague-boys stealing crumbs! Bashing in my weakened knees, bashing in my weakened knees...
Stripling arrows ricochet off teeth and crystal nighttime goblets. Dinner party, dinner guests, eat their dinners facing west. You fling your curses forth and they are swallowed by the Masque, by the trees, by the hollow oddities! Bashing in my weakened knees, bashing in my weakened knees
05 En Hiver (02:45)
I love to hate you! I am in winter. Frostbite hath claimed me, I succumb to numbness!
Freezing men don't laugh at murder! ...Bleeding naked in the bathtub! Open windows tempt the savory! Women's heads float just as easily!
Within the confines of crystal, reflected is my loathing! Under ice and still, chill waters fish bite stiff men and children!
Freezing men don't laugh at murder! ...Bleeding naked in the bathtub! Open windows tempt the savory! Women's heads float just as easily!
In the fog, in the woods, at midnight, in a land where it's always winter, I cut the thin skin of my ankles and the wind follows me like army. Lashing like a bullwhip in the arctic, I fling icicles like bee-sting! Stuck under glass, in the sphere, in the snowstorm, I shut my eyes and sleep in sleet!
J' Adore pour te détester, Je' Suis En Hiver...
06 Laughing Bloody Murder (05:39)
This is what I reign on your behalf so that you may breathe... The blood that gathers at your feet, the high-pitched screams of agony! I'll drag you down with me, too! I'll make you drown with me! I'll drag you down with me, too! I'll make you drown with me!
This is my indoctrination! Henceforth the tendon's cut! The times when muscle fell from hard bone... The time has come for surgery! I'll drag you down with me, too! I'll make you drown with me! I'll drag you down with me, too! I'll make you drown with me!
This is what the slaughter looks like, you've sent it home with me. You've seen it in my pictures... bent hostility! I'll drag you down with me, too! I'll make you drown with me! I'll drag you down with me, too! I'll make you drown with me!
No, no! No, no! No, no! No, no!
