Paul - Aliens who got trapped in our Solar System ages ago organise human history so that we'll end up sending Voyager probes out into space with secret messages on. Or something like that. The Cardinal wrote the original words, as with most of the tracks.

Sal - Sounds a bit like 'Sirens of Titan'.

Sid - Could be...

Sal - Next is Advert, from your forthcoming collection. What is that going to be called?

Sid - Twenty-Five Years?

Paul - I think we'd settled on Twenty-Three.

Sid - Okay the 'Twenty-Three years in Outdustry'.

Paul - But the number may change. This is an old track which started as an idea, became the music and then the Cardinal did the words. All to do with the privatisation of the British industries.

Sid - There is still graffiti around Peterborough saying "I have told Sid" from the old Gas ad's. They made my life hell for a year at least.

Sal - Followed by 'Temple Ov Chaos!'

Paul - Years ago, years and years ago, we used to go to a pub called The Fountain. At that time the band 'Heart' had a song out about a woman picking up a man just to have a kid. The words, if you listened, were all sickly stuff about Bee's and Flowers and that stuff. I think the Cardinal wrote most of the words for the original version of this in one evening in that pub. He did the same for 'Weren't the Sixties Fab' on the last album. well the words he wrote were titled Temple Ov (Apogee). But the music was co-written with a local guy, Tony Eve, whom I worked with recording stuff. He did about a basic eight bars that became a loop for Cox's words. For this version I've included a Randomise factor for one of the drum pieces, so everytime it's played, it should be different.

Sal - Next, 'Future Sport'.

Sid - Now ain't it strange that when Labour think about banning Fox hunting, the Tories start moaning that this will destroy jobs and kill communities. I don't remember the Tories worrying when they closed the Coal Pits. If this hunting lark is so good for jobs, perhaps the Tory Lords could sponsor a few packs in area's where there ain't many jobs. This would also get the public on their side. After all, hunting is seen as something that only Hooray Henry/Henrietta types take part in. Get your average bloke taking part and the nation will support it. Now we see on T.V. programs about Urban Foxes. And the inner cities have low employment. So they could start a few City Centre hunts. The Brixton Hunt for instance. That is bound to create jobs, boost tourism. Watching Rastas riding through shopping Centres on horse back. It would be a sure vote winner for willy Haig.

Paul - "Little bit of politics".

Sid - Oh, sorry.

Sal - No great, next is 'Icicle Explorers'.

Paul - Space ship filled with Cryogenic astronauts.

Sal - Like '2001'.

Sid - Could be.

Sal - Then 'Refulgence'.

Paul - I wrote that. No input from anyone. Just an idea I had.

Sal - And lastly, 'Spiders Kiss'.

Paul - This is the 1998 remix, the album will probably only have the old version.

Sid - On the album I do the vocals.

Sal - Not the Cardinal?

Sid - No, he wanted me to to do it. Don't understand it though. Ph'tnglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.

Paul - That's easy For you to say.

Kelly (Who happened to be there) - No, no, no, don't say it!

Sid - Why?

Kelly - You've recorded it?

Paul - Yes, they can play the full track on the next album.

Kelly - (Doing a Frazier from Dad's Army, as opposed to Frazier from Cheers impersonation, (though it might have been the second, her impersonations aren't very good)), We're all doomed, doomed.
