Back in 1983, the young and foolish Leroi Z Coondawg became disillusioned with the strict presbyterian religion of his remote Outer Hebridean home. Forsaking the doctrine of predestination, Leroi came to be convinced that spiritual enlightenment could only be achieved by studying the mystical codes hidden in the sleeve notes of the 13th Floor Elevators. One night, in a rash experiment to ascend to a higher plane, Leroi read the back of "The Psychedelic Sounds" and immediately followed it up with Marcus Tybalt's incoherent text from "A Web of Sound" by the Seeds. Nightmarish hallucinations ensued, in which Leroi's astrally projected mind was abducted by a posse of alien alligators and subjected to a variety of indignities at their hands/paws/flippers/whatever. Afterwards, Leroi was convinced of the reality of his experience. Only when he remembered that the 'gators had also abducted his "girl" did it become depressingly obvious that it was quite clearly a load of &*%$* that he'd imagined. Still, at least he got a song out of it. This here 2-chord psychedelic soul freakout was written and gigged a bit back in 84/85 by MLATRFOD precursors The Subterraneans  and also by the original 5-man Memphis Louie an' The Rockin' Firebirds of Death line-up. Despite that, nobody's attempted a "studio" recording until now. You might say it's cause it wasn't worth the effort. We say that recording technology needed to advance for 20 more years before it was ready to capture the sounds ree-verberatin' in Leroi Z Coondawg's head
