V/A-THE MEMORIAL ELVIS PROJECT, CD EP, 1992, VARIOUS







Eight brief and playful disembowelings of "The King" enacted by a global cast of eccentrics, some great, some meh. Within these 20 or so minutes, you'll find HNAS submerging Elvis' Hawaiian lullaby Ku-Ui-Po in a vat of lung-y unguents before before beating it to death with a wedge of orchestration,  Asmus Tietchens forming moire patterns from modulated fragments of his vocal mannerisms, La Sonorite Jaune losing him in the steam room of a freighter and Laurent Pernice somehow formulating a species of lopsided funk from a montage of Presley samples that makes me think that Robert Palmer might just saunter up to the mike at any minute.

Tracks:

1. Eleve Modele-You Take My Heart Forever
2. Hirsche Nicht Aufs Sofa-Ku-U-I-Po
3. Asmus Tietchens-Charisma Perdu
4. La Sonorité Jaune-Fatarnt
5. The Psyclones-Hound Dog
6. Bene Gesserit-Love Me Tender
7. Duck And Cover In A Psylobottle-N'Attends Personne Accouitte Qui Vient
8. Laurent Pernice-Lelys Se Paive
