Julian Cope presents Head Heritage

Oh well, it's not just the lyrics that are a bit spook, though songs about Christians kicking on the gibbet and murdered spouses aren't really X-Factor stuff. I find the arrangements and vocal delivery a bit...wooOOOah - as well. There's a dark, pagan abandon to it all that's quite unnerving and exciting I think*.

Even weirder live cos they look like nice, amiable middle-aged folk - which they are - and then unleash...what they do. It's great!

*Perhaps I should add, the first time I heard the first album was in a dark, candlelit room after an evening of mild acid and we were having a dose of Blue Lotus at the time, so that added to the....eeeeeek! In a good way though.
